Some alternative reductions could be 1) eliminate concrete
walk to ball diamonds and tot lots and 1/2 of concrete work
at ball diamonds for a possible savings of $35,000, 2) reduce
specification of concrete flat work for sidewalks and go to
3.5" concrete with mesh for a possible savings of $22,789,
and 3) omit all flat work by ball fields, with the exception
of the block walls and bleacher concrete, for a possible
savings of $10,587. Total possible savings of $68,376. Staff
anticipates that there could be other savings by using force
account labor on the sidewalk work, and through contributions
and in -kind services from the local sports groups. The
ballfield fencing is also being rebid. Combined, this could
increase the possible savings to $80,000.
The Public Works, Facilities, and Solid Waste Committee has
reviewed the improvement cost estimates prepared by staff,
and recommended that staff look at ways of reducing costs,
which are identified above. The Committee further
00166
recommended that the City Council consider taking a loan from
the Central Zone for $250,000 to fund the balance of the
improvements, and if needed, use additional Redevelopment
Agency funds to pay for the park improvements at Poindexter
Park. There was a balance of $1,575,726, in the Central Zone
for Poindexter Park, $500,000 which was used for the park
land acquisition. Currently, there is a fund balance of
$1,075,726 for the park improvements at Poindexter Park.
Interest allocation to each zone within Fund 5 for 1993/94
and 1994/95 still needs to be done. This information should
be available by March 15. Preliminary cost estimates for park
improvements is approximately $1,000,000.
If this recommended action by the Committee is not approved
by the City Council, staff would recommend that the City
Council prioritize the major improvements at the park and
direct staff to reduce scope of project as necessary to allow
a modified Phase II to go forward.
Staff would recommend that the City Council provide direction
in order to allow the improvements in April, and stay on
schedule in order to complete the improvements to bid by
August, 1995.
RECOMMENDATION (Roll Call vote)
1) Appropriate $250,000 as a loan from the Central Zone of
the Park Improvement Fund (Fund 5) to fund the balance of the
improvements at Arroyo Vista Community Park; and 2) Direct
staff to place an item on April 5 Redevelopment Agency Agenda
to consider funding for improvements at Poindexter Park.
