MEMORANDUM
TO: Park & Recreation Commission
FROM: Todd Hofflnan, Park & Recreation Director
DATE:
February 20, 1997
SUB J:
Prairie Knoll Play Equipment Selection Committee
I am recommending that the commission solicit neighbors of Prairie Knoll Park to form a
playground selection committee. This committee, like the Stone Creek group, would conduct the
equipment review process and forward a purchasing recommendation to the commission. The
group could also assist with the installation of the playground. If they elect to do so, the
community's purchasing power is increased and a sense of ownership is instilled.
If the commission concurs with this assessment, notification of this opportunity will be sent to all
neighborhood residents. I would like to have a recommendation back to the commission in May
or June.

Commentary
Capital Project Fund
Park/Trailways Acquisition & Development
General Comment: Park and trail fees (charges established on new construction) are receipted
into this fund. Many major park and trail improvements become a budgeted expense of this fund
(Note: To insure multi-year accountability for individual projects, a separate fund is typically
established to account for the assets/liabilities of that project, i.e. Lake Ann Boat Access. All of
the revenues/expenses associated with the project thereby become easier to monitor - with final
balances being "transferred" back to this fund). As such, this fund represents the master fund
reflecting current and future obligations for major park and trail projects, as well as minor park and
trail improvements within our community. An annual and five year park/trailways acquisition and
development capital improvement program is maintained by the City's Park and Recreation
Commission. All capital improvement projects are approved by the City Council.
