REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 06/17/13 Item No.: 13.a ___________________________________________________________________________________ Department Approval City Manager Approval ____________________________________________________________________________________ Item Description: Approve Parks and Recreation Renewal Program Preliminary Plans ____________________________________________________________________________________ BACKGROUND 1 At your February 11, 2013 meeting, the implementation approach, schedule, public engagement strategy 2 and process for delivering the Parks and Recreation Renewal Program (Renewal Program) was presented 3 and discussed. Using that process to guide us, the Renewal Program is continuing to progress. 4 5 At your April 15, 2013 meeting staff reviewed with you a typical preliminary planning process using 6 Lexington Park as an example including input methods, types of input gathered from the neighborhoods 7 and community and the meeting summary recording format. 8 9 With guidance from the System Master Plan, including the concepts and previous working documents, 10 final issues and ideas were gathered since February through a series of more detailed neighborhood and 11 community meetings and workshops that were geared to specific parks/locations. Incorporating this array 12 of input, preliminary plans were developed. 13 14 On May 13, 2013 you authorized the first set of preliminary plans to move to the next phase of the 15 process that includes final design, plans and specifications to prepare projects for construction. 16 17 The second set of preliminary plans have been through the review process by the neighborhoods, 18 community and the Parks and Recreation Commission and are ready for your consideration. Summary 19 notes from the neighborhood/community meetings and the preliminary plan documents included in your 20 packet for your review are as follows: 21 Evergreen Park 22 Oasis Park 23 Rosebrook Park 24 Sandcastle Park 25 Southwest Roseville 26 27 While preliminary plans are complete for Rosebrook Park and Southwest Roseville, the land acquisition 28 segment makes it more complex and will require more work with the community and neighborhoods 29 and will be brought back to you for further discussion. Rosebrook Park and Southwest preliminary 30 plans are not expected to be approved tonight. 31 32 The Renewal Program is a defined project and defined budget program. The preliminary plan schematics 33 were developed as part of the overall community process and may include more than what the renewal 34 program has defined. However, it is important that each park be considered through a “big picture” 35 Page 1 of 3
