MEMORANDUM
TO:
Park and Recreation Commission
#!
FROM:
Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation Director
DATE:
February 24, 2009
SUBJ:
Modifications to 2009-2013 Park & Trail Acquisition and
Development Capital Improvement Program
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The Park and Recreation Commission recommends the City Council approve
modification to the 2009-2013 CIP to eliminate or postpone twelve projects
totaling $2,750,000 in order to preserve park dedication funds for improvements
and lor land acquisitions that are deemed essential or time sensitive.
The city's park dedication fund is currently the primary funding mechanism for
park, recreation and trail improvements within the community. Historically,
park dedication dollars have been supplemented by capital fund replacement
dollars and funds derived from bond sales approved in voter referendums. Park
dedication fund receipts have averaged $885,000 per year over the past eight
years, or just over $7,000,000 for the same time period. With a tightening of all
capital dollar funds at all levels, staff recommends that the commission look to
eliminate or postpone planning for capital projects that are not deemed essential
and that are not sensitive to the passage of time.
For example, the construction of a concession building in an existing park
facility would not be considered time sensitive. The park and the opportunity to
build a concession building were present ten years ago and will still be present
ten years from now. However, acquisition of additional parkland or trail
alignments are opportunities that present themselves and, if not acted upon, may
be lost. Nineteen park and trail acquisition and development items totaling
$3,894,000 will remain after the elimination or postponement of twelve.

Attached is a park dedication fund history with year 2001 to 2008 showing actual numbers and
years 2009 to 2013 showing projected numbers. Proposed park dedication revenues have been
lowered to $400,000 per year to reflect the current market and the expenses modified to reflect
the recommended elimination or postponement of the twelve projects. Based upon these
projections, the city will retain a positive cash balance exceeding $1,000,000 for years 2010
through 2013. Through authorization of these modifications, the city will retain the ability to act
upon opportunities that it deems in the best interests of the community into the foreseeable
future.
