3 <br />Engineer has provided a preliminary estimate of connection for water and sewer of $575,000. <br />However it is recommended that water/sewer connection may be deferred to future phases of <br />the park. No portion of the planned connector road (total cost estimated at $950,000) is <br />proposed for Phase 1 as currently shown (however, alternative design options may change <br />this), but a portion of the park entry road (southern boundary) would need to be constructed. To <br />address anticipated shortfalls, in December staff had proposed considering a grant application <br />for up to $500,000 to the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. However, the grant deadline of <br />January 31st makes this option impractical (though it could be pursued in January 2006) prior to <br />an construction. The possibility also exists to employ Soccer Superfund monies to advance <br />creation of fields in Phase I. Approximately $1,380,000 remains in the $2.0 million Soccer <br />Superfund as identified in the 2001 bond. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the BOCC consider the attached <br />information and provide direction to staff on next steps for a Master Plan and other <br />considerations.
