LOG NAME: 80FY11 PARK DEDICATION ADM COSTS
SUBJECT:
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Allocating $167,592.00 in the Park Improvements Fund to Transfer to the
General Fund to Offset Operation and Oversight Costs of Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication
and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Allocating $31,200.00 in the General Fund
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Park Improvements Fund by $167,592.00 from available funds;
2. Authorize the transfer of $167,592.00 from the Park Improvements Fund to the General Fund to offset
operation and oversight costs associated with management of the Neighborhood and Community Park
Dedication Policy; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
General Fund by $31,200.00 from available funds.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this M&C is to authorize the appropriation and transfer of funds to offset the costs related
to the management of the Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy ("Policy").
The Policy ensures the provision of adequate park and recreational areas with needed facilities in the form
of neighborhood and community parks to serve population increases resulting from the addition of new
residential units in the City. Park development fees and fees that are paid in lieu of making land
dedications are placed in an interest bearing account and are used to achieve the Policy's objectives.
Due to reductions in the Fiscal Year 2010 Adopted Budget, costs for operating and management of the
Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy were identified to be offset by interest income from
these dedication and development fees. Expenses associated with the operation and management of the
program include salary and benefits of City staff who administer the program as well as costs related to
surveys and appraisals that are used in the acquisition of new parkland and setting of developer fees.
Estimated revenue for salary and benefit expenses were set up during the Fiscal Year 2011 annual
budget process. A supplemental appropriation in the amount of $31,200.00 is needed to fully fund the
program. The remaining $136,392.00 has already been appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2011 General
Fund adopted budget.
Since 2000 when the current Policy was established, 869 acres and 50 new parks have been added to the

park system through this Policy. Since 2006 staff has inspected 28 new parks and continues to monitor
the progress of approximately 47 future parks.
This program serves ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION /CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations,
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating

Fund.
