Department Approval: <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Manager Reviewed�W <br />DATE: 2/25/91 <br />ITEM NO: � _ ;), <br />Agenda Section: <br />Item Description: Authorization for the PIP Program and 1991 PIP Projects <br />BACKGROUND <br />City Staff, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City <br />Council has spent considerable time over the past several months <br />studying the concerns of the aging and heavily used park system. <br />These efforts have led to the formulation of the Park Improvement <br />Program (PIP). The goals for the PIP are: <br />1. To repair and replace many park facilities and related amenities <br />that are in need of repair because of their age and condition. <br />2. To bring all park facilities up to city code and to meet recognized <br />safety standards in all city parks. <br />3. To insure that all parks are used to their fullest potential while <br />protecting natural resources and open space. <br />4. To increase the aesthetics of all Roseville parks. <br />5. To make upgrades, enhancements and replacements without incurring <br />unusual costs for rehabilitation or redevelopment. . <br />6. To make improvements based on the most up -to -date professional <br />standards. <br />The PIP process is as follows: <br />1. All improvements will meet the latest appropriate safety <br />requirements, municipal and state codes and professional standards. <br />2. Staff will work with the Parks and Recreation .Commission in <br />completing and reviewing the PIP evaluation. Staff will propose <br />redevelopment projects to be reviewed by planning staff /consultants <br />and presented to City Council. <br />3. Improvements will be designed to meet required standards and <br />minimize and /or reduce maintenance procedures currently required. <br />4. The majority of the reconstruction labor will be contracted <br />allowing park maintenance staff to concentrate on regular <br />maintenance concerns. <br />5. An environmental analysis will be conducted before a redevelopment <br />proposal is completed. <br />6. A neighborhood meeting will be held to explain all improvements. <br />7. Standard procedures will be used for drawing specifications, <br />advertising for bids and awarding contracts. <br />POLICY ISSUES <br />- The City previously made a substantial investment that needs to be <br />protected and enhanced. <br />- PIP monies will be spent to redevelop present park facilities rather <br />than construct entirely new projects. <br />- Projects will be recommended by staff, reviewed and referred by the <br />Parks and Recreation Commission and adopted by the City Council. <br />- Additional funding may be used from participating groups to enhance <br />
