ACTION REQUESTED
Review and discuss Parks and Recreation capital projects.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
A PowerPoint presentation will be presented with an overview of the major capital projects foreseen to
sustain our parks and recreation system. Trails, forests, outdoor recreational facilities, playgrounds and
indoor community spaces all require repairs, maintenance, restoration and reinvestment.
We currently have a number of park infrastructure items scheduled for replacement or upgrade in the
most current CIP. This discussion is intended to be a broad overview of our impending needs for the
purpose of prioritization and to seek opportunities for consolidation, partnerships or changes in service.
Providing continued management of our natural and built environment is a core tenet of sustainability,
and recognizing the investment in various projects has been one area of focus in my work since I started
in October of 2011. The city was on a schedule of developing new parks and facilities for the past eight
years. It is only in the past year that staff has started to analyze our current assets and park properties.
The list of assets and needed improvements can seem endless with over 900 acres of parks and aging
facilities, but it can be managed with a plan that can be developed with a focus on priorities and
approaches to funding.
A more extensive comprehensive plan will be needed in order to assess the current status of our parks
and recreation services and provide a strategic analysis of our strengths, opportunities and future needs.
A plan will identify priorities and lay the groundwork for implementation of projects and programs
designed to meet the community's parks and recreation needs. A parks and recreation comprehensive
plan will be in the recommended capital budget for 2013.
