Gappa <br />Title Director of Public Services <br />Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />Engineer ’s Report <br />Item Description: Short Court Basketball at Crystal Bay Park <br />The installation of a short court basketball court at Crystal Bay Park has been planned for the last <br />several years as one of the park improvement projects. This would be similar to the facility at <br />Hackberry Park. The proposed court would be located north of the post office. This project would <br />be completed by the I^blic Works staff. It would be a bituminous surface court with a basket at <br />each end. l iic court would be orientated in a north-south direction. The estimated cost for this <br />project is $5,i iili <br />The plan was to dedicate proceeds from the March for Parks toward this project with Park <br />Dedication fimds to be used to make up the difference. The Park Commission was aware that the <br />March for Parks proceeds would not be enough to complete this project, and felt it was important <br />that donors see results from the March for Parks. The current balance in the Park dedication fund <br />is approximately $100,000. The neighborhood residents have expressed a favorable interest in <br />this project. Since the new playground equipment has been installed, this park receives much use. <br />This project could be completed within the next month as the paving contractor will be working <br />in the City on our street overlay projects. The Park Commission and City staff are recommending <br />approval of this project. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to authorize construction of a short court basketball court at Crystal Bay Park to be funded <br />from March fo.' Parks proceeds and Park Dedication funds.
