Action Requested
Discuss the updates to the Park Improvement Fund and Park Dedication project budget.
Recommend, by motion, to accept the Lion John Weicht Park playground design for $309,000 from Park
Dedication and $100,000 from the Park Improvement Fund and adjust the WTRP storage garage funding to
$132,400 from Park Dedication and $17,600 from the Park Improvement Fund and other adjustments as
recommended by the Commission.
Background/Discussion
At the April 12 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission discussed adjusting funds from the PIF and Park
Dedication Fund to make it possible to purchase the new Lion John Weicht Park playground.
This adjustment was accomplished by sharing two projects between the PIF and Park Dedication funds. The
WTRP storage garage was changed to $17,600, PIF (the current 2023 tax assessment amount) and the remaining
balance from $132,400 Park Dedication. Originally, it was $150,000 from PIF.
The Lions playground was changed to $100,000 PIF (cost to replace the current container) and the remaining
balance from $309,000 Park Dedication. It was originally $200,000 PIF.
Two additional adjustments recommended by the Commission include removing the $280,000 for the Ninja
Playground from Park Dedication and delaying the replacement of the Country Crossing playground by one year,
to 2025.
Financial Impact
Changes were made to the park funds with the objective of allocating funds in the amount of $409,000 to
purchase the Lion John Weicht Playground design recommended by the Commission.
