SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION

facility on approximately eight acres of City owned land, located in the Fairmont Park East subdivision
on Driftwood The construction will take place in three phases, with the FPEHOA contrIbuting $35,000
toward the first phase, and $20,000 for each of the second and third phases, for a total contrIbution of
$75,000 or approximately 47% ofthe estimated cost of the enhanced park improvements. The total cost of
the project, including the detention basin improvements, the basic park improvements, and the enhanced
park features, is $296,000. The proposed changes in the detention pond capabilities will be
completed in Phase I of the project; Phases II & ill address the park component of the project.
The agreement calls for the City to fund the project in phases, although the project cannot begin

La Porte in an area of the city that serves a substantial number of residents.
