ORIGINATING DEPT: Public Works CITY MANAGER:
PREPARED BY: John Cherbone DEPT HEAD: John Cherbone
SUBJECT: Congress Springs Park Safety Fence Improvements - Appropriation of Funds
______________________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve budget resolution appropriating funds for Congress Springs Park Safety Fence
Improvements.
REPORT SUMMARY:
This past December AYSO donated $15,000 towards improvements at Congress Springs Park. The
improvement identified for these funds is the construction of a low (3 foot high) black vinyl coated
chain link safety fence. The location of the proposed safety fence is along Glen Brae between the
park maintenance yard and the third base fence of the Pony field. The fence will improve safety by
preventing errant soccer balls rolling onto Glen Brae Drive. Additionally, the same area will receive
modifications to the landscaping.
In order to move forward with these improvements it is necessary for City Council to adopt a budget
resolution appropriating the donated funds into the Park and Landscape Maintenance Program’s
expenditure budget.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
With Council’s approval of the proposed budget adjustment, sufficient funds would be available
for the construction of the fence and landscape modifications.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FOLLOWING RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
The budget resolution will not be approved and other improvements will need to be identified for
expenditure of the donated funds.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
None in addition to the above.
FOLLOW UP ACTION(S):
The budget resolution will be implemented and the funds will be used for Congress Springs Park.
ADVERTISING, NOTICING AND PUBLIC CONTACT:
Nothing additional.
