" Memofandum, Arden Manof Pafk Redevelopment Options Page Four June 24,1999 e What improvements will take place in the remainder of the park? None. The committee considefed additional improvements to the ball field, and other drainage improvements. It was determined that the ball field afea could be left alone and used by residents in its current condition for ball, soccer, kite flying, etc. Two reasons for not undertaking more significant improvements were the lack of consensus by residents as to the type of improvements they wanted, and to keep the cost of the overall project more reasonable. Improvements to the remainder of the park would have most likely required additional improvements for area drainage problems. Options The City has a couple of options available fegafding this project. There are some components that could be eliminated to reduce costs. I. Eliminate the proposed picnic shelter improvements. 2. Complete the project as recommended, subject to financial participation by the property ownef (i.e., cash or assessments fOf drainage improvements). 3. Complete the project as recommended with the City incurring 100% of the cost. 4. Make a detefmination that the pfoject not be undertaken. .
