CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Denise Nichols, Parks & Recreation Manager, 575 -6020
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City opened bids for the Eastside Skatepark on May 15, 2008. Grindline Skateparks, Inc.
was the low bid. However, the bid came in $45,000 higher than anticipated. To make up for the
shortfall, Apple Valley Kiwanis pledged an additional $20,000 toward construction. In addition,
staff made a request for $25,000 from the CDBG Public Facilities Fund.
A. At the June 11, 2008 Neighborhood Development Committee meeting, Parks and
ill Recreation made a formal presentation and request for $25,000 from CDBG Public
Facilities fund. The Committee approved the request (see attached minutes). The
request before you today is to approve their recommendation for funding.
B. " Pass an ordinance to increase the project budget by $100,000. It should be noted that
an appropriation is not necessary for the CDBG fund, as the grant was already
included 100% in the budget —this is a matter of obligating the available funds for this
purpose. The project budget has not been adjusted since the original estimate of
$225,000 made in 2005, so the appropriation brings the total project appropriation to
the necessary $325,000.
