MEMORANDUM

FROM: Todd Hoffman, Park & Recreation Director

Recommended 2004 Park and Trail Acquisition and
Development Capital Improvement Program
With the park and trail acquisition and development fund at its lowest level in
many years, the city will be required to present a modest 2004 Park and Trail
Capital Improvement Program. Building activity in 2004 is predicted to be
lower than in recent years. Park dedication fee revenues in 2004 are predicted to
range between $150,000-$200,000. These two factors combined--a low fund
balance (approximately $100,000) and modest growth--lead me to recommend
the following Park and Trail Acquisition and Development Capital Improvement
Program for 2004.
Meadow Green Park Playground Replacement
Highway 41 Trail Connector
Total
$65,000
$90,000
$155,000
The existing Meadow Green Park play equipment is the oldest in the city's park
system. The structure is severely frost heaved and aging rapidly. The wood
surface has the tendency to inflict painful tiny wood splinters into the thighs,
buttocks and forearms of children. Many families from the neighborhood
refuse to visit the playground, choosing to drive elsewhere for their playground
visits.
The Highway 41 Trail Connector will exist in the right-of-way of State
Highway 41, connecting the newly finished Pulte Homes trail to the existing
Longacres trail. This connector is the final segment (1000 feet) in all/= mile
trail loop situated in the upper reaches of the Bluff Creek Corridor. Completion
of this connector will provide full utility of existing trail improvements valued at
over $400,000.
