Councilman Deborski requested Parks & Recreation to come forward with proposal as to what they are going to do with the 37% acres City owns. This is for Parks & Recreation Ordinance #416. Councilman Deborski stated we do not have a specific plan for the 37% acres, and we need to provide a method of financing for capital improvements for parks. Chairman Keith Helart informed Council he had contacted several cities for average costs to go into park develop- ment. Cited Boulder estimate of $30,000 per acre minimum of 7 acres in size. Hilgers Park is 7% acres and the estimate for developing this would be in the area of $50,000 or $60,000. The Board planned to use part of the Bond issue and hope for a Federal Grant. Minimum development costs for all parks $250,000 to $300,000. Unless this measure is passed ear-marking funds, we will not have the money available. City Administrator Wurl commented that we need Ordinance #416 to pay for parks improvement and the Documentary Fee Ordinance for other needs of the City. Maintainence will have to come out of annual taxes and a certain mill levy for maintainence and operations of parks and recre- ation department.
