SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br />DISCUSSION /DIRECTION - 2013 RECOMMENDED BUDGET <br />OCTOBER 9, 2012 <br />PAGE 3 OF 5 <br />Sports Complex has operated with portable concessions. With potential <br />plans now under discussion for Lafayette fields, it may be appropriate to <br />seek future collaboration on concession and /or maintenance facilities at <br />Harney Lastoka with Lafayette. <br />9) Recreation Campus Restroom at Arboretum, in or out of budget? Actual cost? Is <br />this done in enough time to be consistent with renting out facilities? This project <br />was reclassified from Conservation Trust - Lottery to Capital Projects Fund <br />and is proposed to be completed in 2014 for $112,000. <br />10)Broadcast ability in Library? What does this entail, what funding and do we plan <br />to cover study session meetings on air with this upgrade? This project would <br />be funded from PEG funds which must be used for capital costs related to <br />Channel 8. The project will entail wiring the Library meeting room with <br />cameras and equipment that can be controlled remotely from the existing <br />Channel 8 hub located in the back of Council Chambers in City Hall. The <br />goal is to broadcast some of the special programs presented in the library <br />meeting room including Library presentations, HFAB presentations, <br />Museum presentations, etc. There are no plans to broadcast City Council <br />study sessions. Additional hours have been allocated for the Channel 8 <br />Technician to cover his time to broadcast these additional events. <br />11)McCaslin and South Boulder small area plans and Wayfinding budget items — <br />discuss timing and how dollars allocated. Wayfinding for McCaslin and <br />Centennial Way is proposed at $100,000 in 2013. Small area plans for <br />McCaslin and South Boulder Rd, are included at a total of $160,000 in 2013. <br />Specifically, $60,000 in salary and benefits for a Temporary Planner 1 <br />position in 2013 and an additional $100,000 for professional services <br />assistance for the 2 small area plans. <br />12)Street lights line item, is this a safety issue, what does the PD think, and if it is a <br />safety concern should we implement sooner? This is not a public safety issue <br />brought forward by the PD. To staff's knowledge there have been 1 -2 <br />complaints over time regarding street illumination around the areas <br />specified on the CIP Light Sheet. These areas do not currently represent <br />life and safety issues but rather opportunities for improvement. <br />Additionally, current legislation /litigation regarding street lights and fast <br />moving technology related to LED lighting supported a funding scenario <br />further out in the schedule. <br />13) Discuss long -term Memory Square Pool plans, why cut from $300,000 request to <br />$25,000? Funding was cut in order to balance the fund and maintain an <br />adequate reserve. This project has merit but there simply is not enough <br />funding to cover it and other higher priority items. According to the Parks, <br />Recreation, Open Space and Trails Master Plan (PROST) survey, 14% of our <br />residents view an outdoor aquatic facility as a #1 priority and 28% view the <br />outdoor aquatic /swimming pool as one of their top three outdoor <br />preferences. Capital funding currently proposed at $25,000 will sustain <br />Memory Square but will not be sufficient to make major improvements or <br />address deficiencies based on today's aquatic experiences that are <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />4 <br />
