Mrs. Stratton concluded Staff would recommend allocating $105,000 of community Facilities District No. 88-1 monies for the design and con- struction of Davis Park improvements, consisting of grading, landscap- ing, irrigation, purchase of benches and a drinking fountain, and direct Staff to proceed immediately with these improvements. Also direct Staff to return within 30 days with a recommendation for addi- tional improvements to this area such as trees, playground equipment picnic tables, etc. Mr. Sal Rios, Parks & Recreation Commissioner, stated the City Manager had reported on the hearings. Input was received from residents in the district and outside the district. The Carl Rimbaugh Girls, Softball League has requested consideration that whatever is done at the park, that it not change or impact the girls softball league. Mr. Donald J. Sanders, 1445 North Teresa Avenue, Colton, stated the Meadowood residents object to the recommendation. There was no no objectivity in reviewing their request for tennis courts. The residents are the ones paying the taxes and should have a definite voice. The residents are opposed to a soccer or baseball field as this will impact their homeowners insurance. Mr. Sanders submitted a survey from the residents to the City Council requesting consideration of the homeowners to place this issue on an election ballot. Mr. Sanders also requested that the City Manager look into the cost of a Mello -Roos petition election and let them know the cost. The City Council discussed whether it would be prudent to accept staff's recommendation for improvements if the improvements are to be dug up at a later date for tennis courts. Council recommended no action be taken at this time and that the City Manager and City Clerk meet with Mr. Sanders regarding the election process and costs. Carnegie Library/Museum/C.D.B.G. Funds City Manager Stratton stated she would report on Item Nos. 29 and 31 at the same time as they both pertain to the Carnegie Library/Museum. Mrs. Stratton advised all of the remaining work on the Museum can be done with City forces, and materials can be purchased through the City's Purchasing Agent, and all of the remaining works appears to be eligible for C.D.B.G. funding as it is either code required, historical preser- vation, or community beneficial use. Mrs. Statton continued there is approximately $58,000 in the C.D.B.G. Contingency/Reserve fund. Staff is recommending that $20,000 be trans- ferred for the completion of the Museum, leaving approximately $38,000 remaining in the fund. 6 C T 2 2 1W91
