A new list of priorities for the Park Improvement Fund was presented to the Park and Recreation <br />Commission at a regular meeting on October 10. The main concern and consensus with both staff and <br />the commission was for continued improvements to the trails and aging playgrounds. The skate park <br />was discussed but not made a priority because of other immediate needs. The priority list of projects for <br />2013 and 2014 is listed on the attached Park Improvement Fund spreadsheet. This was recommended by <br />staff and approved by City Council. The skate park is listed on the spreadsheet as a $250,000 project <br />anticipated being on future updates. <br />Conclusion <br />Staff recommends removal of the existing skate park due to potential liability issues and to form a skate <br />park committee to review possible locations, design and associated costs. The recommendations of this <br />committee will be presented to the commission and City Council this summer, including the placement <br />of changing project priorities in the Park Improvement Fund. It is recommended that the committee <br />include the park planner, at least one commission member, and members of the community. <br />® Park Improvement Fund (2013 -2017) <br />N: \Public Bodies \City Council \Council RCA \Agenda Packet \01 -22- 2013 \Skate Park.docx <br />
