Action Requested
Due to the 2014 budget and limited staffing, staff is not recommending any action on this request. If
recommended by the Parks Commission, staff may continue to work with the Windsor Park 3rd Home
Owners Association (HOA) through 2014 and consider incorporating their park into the 2015 budget
cycle
Background/Discussion
At the September 11, 2013 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, a representative for HOA
indicated that the HOA wanted to give ownership and maintenance of their private park to the city. The
commission directed staff to assemble estimated costs for maintenance and upgrades. The Parks
Supervisor worked with the Treasurer of the HOA and compiled this information which is outlined
below.
Currently in the 2014 budget, no monies have been earmarked for this project and the staffing level in
the parks maintenance department is limited. If the Parks and Recreation Commission is interested for
the city to take ownership of this park, it will still require City Council action to make the decision final.
Currently, the city has at least three other areas that have park amenities that are privately owned by an
HOA. The decision to take ownership of this private park may set precedence for other private owners
to approach the city. This HOA has already turned over responsibility of their trail system to the city.
