CITY OF MOORPARK ACTION: A P a r o y e d ._ TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Director of Community Services I llp— DATE: April 7, 1998 (April 15, 1998 City Council Meeting) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 98 -_, Amending the FY 1997/98 Budget Allocating Funds From the Park Improvement Fund for Glenwood Park Play Ground Equipment mm The City Council is being asked to consider a budget amendment that would allocate an additional $31,000 to replace the wooden playground equipment and provide handicap accessible playground surfacing at Glenwood Park. The Parks and Recreation Commission believes that replacing the equipment at Glenwood Park is a priority and is forwarding this recommendation to the City Council for consideration. Background With the adoption of the FY 1997/98 Budget, the City Council allocated $15,000 from the Park Improvement Fund (212) to replace the wooden play equipment at Glenwood Park. Upon further investigation and research the actual amount of funds needed is approximately $46,000. Like most all of the City's Parks, Glenwood Park consists of two playgrounds: a smaller lot designed for tots, children between the ages of two and five, and a larger lot designed for children ages 5 to 12. The larger playground at Glenwood Park consists of old wooden play equipment and a metal climbing apparatus. Several of the play components that were originally on the wooden play structure have been removed over the years as they became safety concerns. What remains of the structure today provides very little play value. Additionally, the wood is worn and splintered. Over the past several months, staff has developed better cost estimates in regards to replacing the wooden equipment. Working with a representative from Little Tikes, a playground equipment company, the City secured several equipment options. These options were presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission for a recommendation. At its bi- annual Park Tour on March 29, the Commission had an opportunity to more fully discuss equipment options while viewing the C ADOC S\AI )MIN\GLENWDEQ. AGD 00.:030 existing equipment and the lot it is located in. This proved to be very helpful in assisting the Commission arrive at a recommendation. The equipment favored by the Commission resembles a fort (see Attachments A and B). The cost to purchase, ship and install the equipment is approximately $34,500. This price excludes any costs associated with the playground surface. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City is required to make its playground facilities accessible to individuals with handicaps. In order to accomplish this, the City has two options: 1) install fibar at a cost of approximately $9,500 (includes removal of existing sand) or 2) install rubber tiles at specific transfer points; e.g., entrance and exit points, at a cost of $4,700. The Commission considered these options and recommends that the City elect to install the rubber tiles. The total cost of replacing the wooden playground equipment and installing an ADA accessible surface will be approximately $46,000 which includes a fifteen percent contingency. Since the City Council previously allocated $15,000, an additional $31,000 will need to be appropriated to complete the proposed project. Glenwood Park is in Park Improvement Zone 6 which has a fund balance of approximately $56,100. If approved, the proposed budget amendment will leave a remaining fund balance of approximately $25,000. Recommendation The Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 98- , amending the FY 1997/98 Budget by appropriating $31,000 from the Park Improvement Fund (212)- Zone 6 for playground equipment at Glenwood Park, and authorize staff to expend the funds. attachment C:\DOCS\ADNMGLENWDEQAGD (JOUJ31 RESOLUTION NUMBER. 98- RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MOORPARK AMENDING THE FY 1997/98 BUDGET ALLOCATING $31,000 FROM THE PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND BALANCE (212), ZONE 6, FOR PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENTS AT GLENWOOD PARK WIIER.EAS, on June 18, 1997, the City Council adopted the budget for Fiscal Year 1997/98; and WHEREAS, a staff report has been presented to said Council requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $31,000 from the Park Improvement Fund (Fund 212), Zone 6, for playground improvements at Glenwood Park; and WItEREAS, Exhibit "A" hereof describes said budget amendment and its resultant impacts to the budget line item(s) and projected year -end fund balance(s).
