DATE: January 30, 1996
SUBJECT: Budget Items for Community Development/Planning
The following items are either on-going, projected to begin, or to be
encumbered prior to the end of the current fiscal year:
Civic Center Interactive Fountain
The original concept which consisted of the fountain and an equipment
pit has been expanded to incorporate two statues per Art in Public
Places and now includes an equipment building/seating area/art wall
which replaces the equipment pit. Due to a low original estimate and
the changes in scope, the approximate cost of the fountain has
increased from $275,000 to $475,000.

Design Group in September 1995. The study is on-going and the
estimated completion date is April 26, 1996 . The study will include a
community survey, preliminary master site plan, developmental
alternatives, potential funding sources, location and setting economic
evaluation, market support sources, projected attendance levels,
determination of physical facilities requirements and a financial
analysis . The cost of the study is $22,500.
Civic Center Park Tot Lot Fencing
The parks and recreation commission has endorsed the concept of
enclosing the civic center park tot lot with a four foot high wrought
iron fence. The fencing will help to protect the children from loose
dogs as well as helping the parents to ensure that their children don't
wander off from the area. The estimated cost of the fencing is
$15,000 .
Civic Center Park Roller Hockey Rink
The parks and recreation commission has endorsed the concept of
installing a roller hockey rink in the civic center park adjacent to

thick reinforced slab for the rink, seating for players, seating for
