REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />To Item Number <br />Ci Council 5.2.B <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Worksession September 10, 2007 Bill Maertz. Parks and Recreation <br /> Director <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Youth Athletic Complex Improvements Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br />Action Requested <br />Amend 2007 Park Dedication Budget to include $50,000 for improvements to the Youth Athletic <br />Complex baseball fields. <br />Background/Discussion <br />The Youth Athletic Complex has been a work in progress and staff received many complaints from youth <br />baseball and fast pitch softball about the drainage issues and dust and mud in the bleacher areas. A <br />phased approach to address these problems has been developed that fits within the projected park <br />dedication revenue forecast. A second phase would be scheduled for 2009 which would include additional <br />shade trees and irrigated areas. If approved by Council, phase one could be implemented in fall of 2007 <br />in order to avoid disruption of spring baseball. Phase one includes: <br />• Sod and pavers in the fan viewing areas <br />• Concrete strip along infield fencing areas to correct drainage issues <br />• Amend irrigation <br />In order to reduce costs, park maintenance staff would do earthwork and preliminary site preparation. In <br />addition, it is staff's intention to act as the general contractor and get competitive pricing from <br />subcontractors. <br />Financial Impact <br />Estimated total cost: $50,000. This includes a 15% contingency due to variables with the existing <br />irrigation system. <br />Phase two scheduled for 2009 has an estimated cost of $50,000. <br />Attachments <br />^ Schematic design <br />^ Cost Estimate <br />^ YAC Images <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />C:\Documents and Settings\jmillex\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK3E\Action Requested (3).doc <br />
