POLICY OBJECTIVE . The City previously made a substantial investment that needs to be protected and enhanced. . PIP monies will be spent to redevelop present park facilities rather than construct entirely new projects. . Projects will be recommended by staff, reviewed and referred by the Parks and Recreation Commission and adopted by the City Council. . Additional funding may be used from participating groups to enhance the project, pending Council approval. . Regular ongoing maintenance will continue to address these problems that are not a part of the adopted current PIP projects to insure completely safe facilities. . It is estimated it will take ten years to fully implement PIP. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS $250,000 has bee approved in the 2001 City Budget in the Recreation Fund for implementation of the PIP.
