FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Cost of two projects is estimated at $50,000 DESCRIPTION At the regular City Council meeting on July 23, 1984, the City Council approved a policy regarding the expenditure of Park Dedication In-Lieu Fees. The intent of the policy was to coordinate park improvements between the Dublin San Ramon Services District and the City. Both agencies have Park Dedication monies which must be expended within the City's boundaries. Paul Ryan, DSRSD General Manager, has advised the City Manager that there are Park Dedication funds available for utilization in the 1985-86 Fiscal Year. The City Park & Recreation Commission has identified two projects which involve imDrovements to DSRSD facilities. The Commission has recommended that" these projects be j.ncluded in the 1985 update to the Five Year Capital Improvement Plan. The first project is the renovation of the Shannon Community Center kitchen. This would provide for the installation of a commercial range and exhaust system at the Community Center. The estimated cost of the improvements is $10,000. The second project provides for the installation of a major children's play apparatus at Shannon Park. The cost of design, construction and installation is $40,000. Given the fact that these improvements are at locations owned by DSRSD, it would be appropriate to request that they be undertaken with DSRSD park dedication funds. As provided for in' the Policy, each agency is encouraged to submit proposed projects for review in conjunction with the budget process. City Staff has begun a review of City sponsored projects which are anticipated to utilize Park Dedication funds. St?ff recognizes that the improvements are an important component of the recreational services provided in the community. As recommended by the City's Park & Recreation Commission, Staff will continue to plan for their inclusion in the Capital Improvement Plan. However, given the District's uncommitted Park Dedication funds, it is recommended that the City Council authorize Staff to request that the Dublin San Ramon Services District give consideration to including the two projects in their upcoming budget and that they be funded with Park Dedication funds controlled by the District. It is suggested that the request include a provision for appropriate City input on the various elements included in the design of these improvements. / I ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: ITEM NO. ,#~ t' . . r- POLICY REGARDING THE EXPENDITURE OF PARK DEDICATION FUNDS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN The city of Dublin and the Dublin San Ramon Services District recognize the benefit to residents of coordinating park development and enhancement of existing park facilities within the boundar ies of the Ci ty of Dublin.
