The committee has met on four occasions and has conceptionally provided a basic plan for development. This design is based upon the CFD election that occurred in May regarding these issues. Discussion At this point in the process it is necessary to establish a budget to enable the staff to hire an architect and begin to formalize the conceptual plans established by the committee. Based upon the resident's priorities, the staff has estimated the cost of this development project to be approximately $280,000. Currently $169,500 is allocated for the park development in the Comnunity Facility District. Another $69,457 is unappropriated and is available for use for the park project. The total of the two above noted amounts is $238,957 and is approximately $41,043 less than the identified budget. The resident committee has recommended that the short fall be reallocated from street rehabilitation. (Please see attached report from Richard Acevedo, Finance Director) The staff has contacted Gary Miller a local architect regarding previous efforts his firm accomplished on this project. Because of this work already completed, Mr. Miller's firm can easily resume their effort at a savings to the city. The quote from Mr. Miller is $16,628, which is considerably less than the approximate $26,000 fee or 100 of the cost of project which is customary. Attachments: Page 1 of_ 2 Item No. 1-6
