Memo to the Mayor and City Council/Park & Recreation Update July 13, 2000 Page 2 to advise from staff. The Commission recommended that the City Council consider adopting a written policy for the use of park facilities other than shelters and to consider a floating deposit based on the size of the event. Please provide staff with further direction regarding this issue. Survey of Outlot A, Lafayette Woods The Commission, during its May park tour, visited Outlot A, Lafayette Woods, located between the Ridgewood East and Lafayette Woods Subdivisions. This area is being heavily used by ATV's, mountain bikers, and others, creating erosion problems and damage to trees. The Commission requested that the area be surveyed so that city park boundary signs can be installed identifying the park property. Two estimates were obtained from Howard R. Green: $5,000 ("leaf off" conditions), and $7,000 ("leaf on" conditions). The Commission recommended that the City Council authorize spending $7,000 to have the property surveyed immediately so that the sign can be installed as soon as possible, preventing further damage. This item was not identified as part of the Capital Expenditures that was reviewed by the City Council earlier this year. This activity, however, would fall under the "undeveloped" park improvements line item, which identified $10,000 as a proposed amount to spend. Approximately $6,000 of that item has been spent surveying Gagne Park. There, is however, more than adequate funds in the Park Dedication fund to support this request. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the expenditure of $7,000 for surveying the boundary of Outlot A, Lafayette Woods. Park Development Updates The Barn should be moved the week of July 17, 2000 and playground installation begins July 24, 2000.
