RR DD Page 4 E1 MEMORANDUM TO:Parks and RecreationCommission FROM:Jim Taylor, Parks Manager DATE:January 20, 2016Meeting SUBJECT:Parks System Plan Implementation Introduction The Maplewood Parks System Master Plan identifies approximately $26 million in capital improvement projects geographically distributed in parks throughout the community. The highest priority for these improvements is the Maintenance and Reinvestment of our current park amenities. This priority is based on the Parks System Plan processand what we heard overwhelmingly from our residents “Take Care of What We Have”. This priority identifies $7,000,000 in improvements. Discussion Over the next couple of month’s staffworking with the Parks and Recreation Commission will begin discussing the implementation of the Maintenance and Reinvestment portion of the Parks System Plan. This will be a phased approach over multiple years. The funding source for this investment will likely come from bond sales by the City. At the January meeting,staff will review this portion of the Parks System Plan with the Commissionand discuss the next steps moving forward. It is anticipated with Council approval these projects could begin as early as 2016. Recommendation There is no recommendation at this time.
