benefit the community, appropriate funding for facility renovation, capital maintenance, park
improvements, and operating expenses, and dedicate 4.343 acres of the land as park land.
The LVTRise project is a cooperative effort by private companies, human service organizations and
government agencies dedicated to improving the lives of people living in the Las Vegas Trail area. Entities
participating in the project are committed to providing resources and financial support for LVTRise's
program objectives that focus on education, public safety, delivery of social services, economic
development, and health and wellness. The LVTRise non-profit was incorporated in late 2018 to take the
lead in implementing the project and providing programming.
Property Acquisition: The YMCA has agreed to sell the property to the City for$245,500.00, plus
estimated closing costs in the amount of$3,000.00. The property includes approximately 5.033 acres of
land, two buildings containing in the aggregate 12,650 square feet, a parking lot, and recreation amenities.
The purchase price includes the removal of the existing swimming pool which will be completed by the
YMCA prior to closing. Of the 5.033 acres of land and improvements being acquired, approximately 0.69
acre of land, as depicted on the attached site map, will be acquired with non-park funds and will not be
dedicated park land and instead reserved for future growth opportunities aligned with the LVTRise project
or other public purposes. Park Dedication Fees in the amount of$206,100.00 and Community Partnership
Funds in the amount of$42,400.00 will be used for the purchase of the property.
Use of park dedication fees was determined to be appropriate in light of the stated purpose of the
Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy, which is the "provision of adequate park and
recreational areas with needed facilities." (M&C G-1 4225R, M&C G-19470). In addition, with the estimated
market value of the property being $1,680,000.00 according to a recent appraisal, value in excess of the
purchase price more than provides the desired one-to-one match for expenditure of Community
Partnership dollars.
Building Renovations and Site Improvements: The existing building and site related improvements
are in need of renovation in order to accommodate new programming needs, address ADA accessibility,
and perform capital upgrades, including, but not limited to, roof and HVAC replacement. The total
estimated cost for all building renovation and related site improvements is $3,200,000.00. However, in
order to meet current LVTRise project objectives, building renovations and site improvements will take
place in phases.
Phase I will include the renovation of one building containing approximately 5,625 SF, replacement of
HVAC and roofs for both buildings, and park related site improvements. The building renovations included
in Phase I have an estimated total budget of$1,300,000.00, which will be split equally between the City
and LVTRise. Future building improvements will be proposed as funding becomes available. Park related
site improvements would be paid out of the $270,610.00 in park dedication funds that are projected to
remain after paying for park acquisition and related costs.
Design for Phase I building renovation and park improvements could begin as early as June 2019 with a
completion of December 2019. The estimated date to commence construction would be May 2020 with a
target completion date of April 2021,
Operating, Maintenance and Program Costs: As a government agency partner in the LVTRise project,
the City has committed $300,000.00 annually over the next three (3) years to fund a portion of the capital
maintenance and operating expenses associated with the project. The City will utilize $130,000.00 of the
annual amount to fund capital maintenance and repairs to the buildings and non-park site related
improvements, and will contribute $170,000.00 toward building operating and programming expenses.
LVTRise will be responsible for remaining operating and programming expenses.
In addition, through the Park and Recreation Department, the City will provide mowing and other park-type

maintenance of grounds with the costs for FY2019 absorbed in the current budget, and full-year funding of
$14,000.00 is to be allocated in the Park & Recreation Department's base budget beginning in
FY2020.
