REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br />Agenda Date Requested: April 14, 2018 Appropriation <br />Requested By: Councilmember Nancy Ojeda Source of Funds: General Fund <br /> <br />Department: Parks & Recreation Acct Number: <br />Report: X Resolution: Ordinance: _ Amount Budgeted: <br />Exhibits: _Aerial of Woodfalls Park____________ Amount Requested: <br /> <br /> _________________________________ Budgeted Item: YES NO <br /> <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />This item is requested by Councilwoman Nancy Ojeda. <br />Woodfalls Park is located at 3801 Driftwood Drive. The park has a fishing pond, observation deck, waterfall, crushed granite <br />walking trail in the detention area, 3 picnic tables, 3 trash cans, 3 barbecue pits, and minimal parking. The request was to install <br />a playground at this park. <br />The placement of the playground is limited because the large area of open space is in the detention area. Due to flooding that <br />occurs during and/or after rain events, placing a playground in this area is not recommended because it would sit in water and <br />the playground fall surface would regularly wash away. <br />The only area that is out of a flood area is near the parking lot where two picnic tables, two cement pads, and two barbecue <br />pits are currently located. Staff would need to remove those items, install bollards approximately eight (8) feet apart, and <br />install the playground. The size of this area is approximately 3,375 square feet. Due to the size, staff would only be able to <br />install one small play unit. We would not be able to install three (3) pieces to make this a drug free zone. <br />The cost including playground, borders, fall material, cement, and bollards is $36,369. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Discuss the option of adding a playground at Woodfalls Park and give staff direction for budgeting purposes. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />____________________________________ _______________________ <br />Corby D.
