M E M O R A N D U M <br />T0: Brrd oo` ty Commissioners <br />FROM: Edward J�g <br />e ani <br />DATE: October 15, 1980 <br />SUBJECT: Gifford Progressive Civic League's Request for North <br />Gifford Park Improvements <br />Periodically, improvements have been made in North Gifford Park. <br />(See informational packet, North Gifford Park Report.) The unresolved <br />requests and their estimated costs are as follow: <br />Request <br />Estimated Cost <br />Item 1: Request for 240 feet of 8 -foot fence <br />plus gate for the east and west <br />sides of the tennis court $ 2,103,93 <br />Item 2: Request for a full-sized basketball <br />court with two goal posts, backboards <br />and fencing 2,875.00 <br />Item 3: Set of restrooms for the park (Hobart <br />Park estimated at $16,060.. Could <br />scale down design by one-third for <br />North Gifford Park) 10,70.0.00 <br />Item 4: Request that the County assume paying <br />the monthly water bill for the Park <br />(average monthly water bill $14..00. <br />Park use estimated at $25.00/month.) <br />$ 15,678,93 <br />The Economic Opportunities Council has ordered playground modules <br />for the park and has included a goal post, backboard and basket. This <br />project is federally funded in the amount of $6,000. They are working <br />with the Park and Planning Departments on a dual -use concept for the <br />tennis court area. They envision adapting the area to both basketball <br />and tennis. The basketball goal would be on the west side of the <br />courts at the mid point between the existing fences. <br />To augment these efforts I recommend for consideration: <br />Item 1 - fencing of the tennis court, as soon as <br />funds can be made available ($2,103.93) <br />Item 2 - place on hold and reconsider as the need <br />for basketball facilities increases <br />Item 3 - a set of restrooms for the park would <br />allow for greater utilization of the park <br />by all age groups, and is recommended as <br />funds become available <br />Item 4 - that water service be restored subject <br />to the supervision of the County Park <br />Department. <br />COMMISSIONER Loy STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD ACCEPT <br />MR. LUNDY'S PROPOSAL. SHE FELT THE WORK IN OUR PARK DEPARTMENT IN <br />THE LAST YEAR LENDS ITSELF TO ACCEPTING THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. <br />41 <br />OCT 2 9 WO <br />M <br />45 PAGE 41 <br />
