CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For the Council Meeting. of December 18, 2001 Item # 7 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Ronald C. Kenny, Director of Parks, Recreation & Family Services SUBJECT: Approval of Restroom and Drainage Improvements at Elizabeth Davis Park nATF- 4.11: .1nn4 For a number of years the restrooms at Elizabeth Davis Park have been inadequate. They do riot meet the Americans with Disabilities Act standards, (ADA), they are too small to serve Carl Rimbaugh Girl's Softball, (a primary user of the Davis Park facilities), and they have been repeatedly vandalized, and show numerous signs of decay. Drainage directly' behind the backstop of the main field has also been a continuous problem. Water periodically runs down from the northern portion of the park causing streams and puddles behind the backstop; around the snack bar and the bleachers. This area is covered in asphalt and shows definite signs of cracking and erosion. The City` Council' and the Recreation & Parks Comrnission have designated the construction of new restrooms in Davis Park to be their number one priority. Staff is proposing to use the same design which architects with Gary Miller and Associates created for the Cesar Chavez Park restrooms, To do so would save the City approximately $8,0100 in design costs. The design allows for five stalls on the women's and a combination of five stalls and urinals on the men's side. Both sides will have two sinks. The restrooms would be located' between the left field fatal line of the main field and the current tot lot and tennis courts. The drainage system would provide five drains around the backstop and snack bar area. All areas currently in asphalt would be replaced with concrete frorn the backstop area to the edge of the parking lot allowing for a permanent, low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing facility: Because Karl Rirnbaugh Girl's Softball begins league, play the end of March, staff is recommending that the project be split into two phases. The first would be the construction of the restrooms. The drainage portion would be completed after the completion of the league season in late June.
