SUBJECT:
MODIFICATION TO THE PARKS SEVEN-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGAM TO ADJUST THE COLUMBUS TUSTIN BALLFIELD RENOVATION
PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION'
1. Approve the changes to the Columbus Tustin Ballfield Renovation Project to include the
amenities as described in this report.
2. Approve a supplemental appropriation of $420,000 from the unappropriated reserves of
the Park Development Fund to bring the total project budget for 2001-02 to $864,000.
.
Eliminate the Cedar Grove Park parking lot improvements from the 2001-02 City Capital
Improvement Program.
SUMMARY:
The Parks and Recreation Commission is recommending the modification of the Parks
Seven-Year Capital Improvement Program to provide an additional $420,000 appropriation
to include the minimum required amenities to make significant improvements for the
effective utilization of the Columbus Tustin Sportsfield Complex, to complete the project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An additional appropriation of $420,000 is required from the Park Development Fund to
suitably complete Phase I of the Columbus Tustin Ballfield Renovation Project. Elimination
of an appropriation from the Park Development Fund for a future project is recommended to
be redirected toward the Columbus Tustin Ballfield Project.
The recommended project priority that would change would be the elimination of the Cedar
Grove Park Parking Lot Improvement. The estimated project allocation savings would be
$195,000. Review of the Composite Revenue Estimates for all Fund Sources of the Park
Development Fund found that with the elimination of the Cedar Grove Park Parking Lot
allocation of $195,000, and no further delay in other park projects, there would be an ending
Fund balance of $888,341 estimated in FY 2007-08.
DISCUSSION'
The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed revenue estimates and the eleven
projects previously identified in the adopted Capital Improvement Program. The Parks and
Recreation Commission's initial recommendation was to delay the Portola /Jamboree
Lemon Tree Park site improvements for a one year period; the elimination of the Cedar
Grove Park Parking Lot and the delay of the Southwest Park Site Acquisition for a one-year
period.
The Commission felt that with the elimination of the Cedar Grove Park Parking Lot and the
delay of these two projects, additional revenues could be realized, and the ending Fund
balance would meet expectations upon completion of the eleven total projects identified.
The delay of these two projects is not necessary, based on a review of the Composite
Revenue Estimates identified in Appendix A. The projected ending Fund balance for the
Park Development Fund over the seven-year period is adequate to meet the expenditure
estimates of the eleven projects.
The Commission, Architect and staff have thoroughly reviewed the scope of work for the
Columbus Tustin Ballfield Renovation Phase I. Additional amenities were identified to make
a significant impact on the long term utility of the park. Those additional features identified
are:
a. Additional lighting near the track area.
b. A new restroom building.
c. Installation of an electrical transformer.
The amenities that are the minimum requirements to make effective utilization of the park
site meaningful to all user groups include:
1. Upgrade in sports field lighting.
2. A new restroom building.
3. Grading improvements
4. Replacement of dugouts and backstops.
5. New field amenities, such as bleachers, drinking fountains and seating areas.
6. Scorers tables.
7. Enhanced hardscape at fields one and two.
8. New park signage at the corner of Irvine and Prospect.
9. Replacement of chain link and fencing fabric along Irvine Boulevard.
10. Replacement of chain link and fencing fabric along Prospect Avenue.
1.1. Improvements in drainage soil between fields two and three.
12. Installation of new electrical transformer.
