�-iR EN�HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: June 18,2012 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Sue Iverson,Director of Finance and Administrative Services Kyle Howard, Finance Analyst SUBJECT: 2013—2017 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Background As part of the 2013 budget process, a five-year capital improvement plan is prepared. Staff prepared the preliminary CIP for Council discussion as part of this process. Discussion Staff last discussed the CIP as a whole with the City Council at the November work session and approved the 2012-2016 plans on December. Since that time, staff has discussed various items with Council at work sessions. Staff has added 2017 to the plan and updated any changes in the plans or the cost estimates since the council last saw the plan for 2012-2016 CIP. A summary of major changes is as follows: 1. Valentine Park Pathway (2013) - DNR Local Trail Connection Grant $317,622 with $167,622 as local match from PIR Fund and $150,000 as potential Grant Award The City applied for DNR (Local Trail Connection Program) Funding for a pathway on Old Snelling Avenue from Lake Valentine Road/Valentine Park to County Road E2. Awards will be announced sometime this summer. 2. Perry Park#3 Fencing (2014) - $25,500 from PIR Fund Perry #3 is the last of the fields at Perry Park to not have outfield and sideline fencing. This field is used for adult softball and youth baseball daily. The field is short for an adult field (270 ft) and adding the 10 foot outfield fence would extend the field and would take the ground rule double/home run judgment calls out of the umpire's hands, increase safety by keeping balls from being hit to the City Council Meeting P:\Finance\Finance Director\2013 Budget\CIP\2013 CIP Preliminary-Memo.docx Page 1 of 6
