REQUEST FOR ACTION <br />To Item Number <br />Ma or and Ci Council 7 • ~ <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Administration December 17, 2008 Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation <br /> Director <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />Consider 2008 Park Dedication Budget Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator <br /> Reviewed by <br />Action Requested <br />Consider 2008 Park Dedication Budget: $50,000 for playground in Meadowvale Heights Park. <br />Background/Discussion <br />The Meadowvale Heights park master plan includes a playground area adjacent to the trail near 196th <br />Avenue. The trails were completed in 2006. People in the adjacent neighborhood (Oak Hill) have <br />requested that the playground be installed as soon as possible as there are many young children in the <br />neighborhood. In June 2007 the neighborhood presented a petition to the City Council and sent <br />postcards to staff requesting installation of a playground. <br />Residents in the neighborhoods surrounding Meadowvale Heights Park were invited to attend a <br />workshop after the July 11 Parks & Recreation Commission meeting. Staff provided large posters full of <br />various playground equipment and the parents and children were given colored dot stickers for them to <br />apply to the equipment they liked. They were also provided a map of the park and stickers to indicate <br />their preference as to where the playground would be located. There was a clear preference for a <br />playground to be located near the trail along 196`'' Avenue. Based on previous playground installations, <br />staff estimates a budget of $50,000 for this project. <br />Staff recommends a park dedication budget of $50,000 to install a playground in Meadowvale Heights <br />Park in 2008. The budget of $50,000 would cover the cost of the playground equipment, benches, picnic <br />table, concrete bench pads and concrete edging for the perimeter of the playground. <br />Financial Impact <br />$50,000 from the park dedication fund. <br />Attachments <br />^ Location Map <br />Action Motion by Second by Vote <br />Follow Up <br />C:\Documents and Settings\jmiller\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK3E\6 8 Memo Park Ded Budget.doc <br />
