(CD 6) Repeal Appropriation Ordinance and Adopt Revised Appropriation Ordinance for Previously Approved Park Land Acquisition Project to
Correct a Project Number and Project Name with No Change in Authorized Amount and Update the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Repeal Ordinance No. 25049-09-2021;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting estimated receipts and appropriations in the General Gas Lease Capital Projects
Fund by increasing receipts and appropriations in the OSAcq Rock Creek Ranch project (City Project No. 103624) in the amount of
$1,000,000.00 and decreasing receipts and appropriations in the Open Space Appropriations project (City Project No. PA0001) by the
same amount, hereby authorizing the use of Open Space funds for the purpose of conserving 40 acres in a natural state and for potential
passive recreation, which replaces Ordinance 25049-09-2021; and
3. Update the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to repeal and readopt an appropriation ordinance for a previously approved Park
Land Acquisition project to correct a project number and name but keep all appropriated amounts the same.
On September 14, 2021 Mayor and Council approved M&C 21-0672 214850 HIGHWAY 1187 authorizing the purchase of approximately 270
acres of land located at 4850 Highway 1187 in accordance with the Neighborhood and Community Park Dedication Policy and the Park,
Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. The estimated total purchase price was $6,750,000.00 and the parkland is to be known as Rock Creek
Ranch Park. The funding for the parkland purchase is a combination of 2018 Bond Program Funds, PARD Dedication Fees, and Open Space
Funds in the amounts of $1,919,000.00, $3,901,000.00, and $1,000,000.00 respectively.
A clerical error was made on M&C 21-0672 for the purchase of Rock Creek Ranch Park. In the recommendation, which appropriated the use of
open space funds, an incorrect project ID was listed. In addition, a minor correction to the project name is needed. This M&C is seeking to correct
the project ID, name, and associated ordinance. A separate project has been set up under the open space program to track and fund a 40-acre
portion of the 270-acre dedicated parkland aquisition. All other recommendations, including their respective appropriation ordinances, were
accurate and remain in effect as authorized through M&C 21-0672.
In the previous M&C discussion it was also noted that funding was included in the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program for project
PA0001. This is being rescinded as originally stated and restated as the following: Open Space funding was not included in the FY2021-2025
Capital Improvement Program. Open Space will continue to be appropriated via M&C's as funding becomes available and each acquisition or use
of funds is identified and requested for approval by Mayor and Council. The action on this M&C will update the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement
Program.
Approval of this M&C will repeal the prior, incorrect appropriation ordinance and adopt a new one reflecting the same dollar amounts but with the
correct project ID and name.
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 6.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.
