Title
Request to Combine Capital Improvement Project Accounts to Install Fencing Around Fred Cone Park Track (NB)
This item involves a request to combine CIP account balances from the FY 2006 Capital Improvement Plan and reallocate these to address an immediate Capital need at the Fred Cone Park Track.
Explanation
During Fiscal Year 2006, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department received funding for a Capital Improvement Project (CIP) for Racquetball Court Conversion at Albert Ray Massey Westside Park. The project was completed when a new tennis practice wall was added where two racquetball courts were removed. The remaining unspent CIP funds are needed to install a fence around Fred Cone Park Track, which was not fenced during the original construction. The track has been open for over a year and it is documented that a fence is needed in order to conduct sanctioned high school and amateur athletic events. Controlling children, bicycles, and access onto/off of the track is paramount for successful events.
The Department requests permission to utilize the remaining funds from the FY 2006 Racquetball Court Conversion, $15,775, and combine the funds needed to complete the project with the CIP Project Account Recreation Land Improvements, $22,350.
Fiscal Note
$15,775 from funding source of FY 2006 Capital Improvement Project Plan is needed to install fencing around Fred Cone Park Track.
Recommendation
The City Commission approve combining the above listed CIP accounts to establish one CIP account with funding to install a fence at Fred Cone Park Track.
