Efland Cheeks Community- School Park <br />Project Description <br />Originally opened in 1992, this park was built in coordination with the Efland Cheeks Community Center <br />and Efland Cheeks Elementary School. Located adjacent to the school, the original phase of this project <br />included picnic areas and a children's playground. <br />Currently, phase two of this park is occurring. Planned improvements in the second phase include <br />walking, fitness and nature trails, available for community and school use. In addition, activity areas for <br />sports such as basketball and soccer are planned for this second phase. A picnic shelter is also planned. <br />This phase, funded mainly with 1997 park bond funds, is scheduled for completion by summer 2000. <br />Annual operating costs for this park are estimated at $15,000 including maintenance and gate personnel, <br />maintenance supplies and utilities. The Recreation and Parks's annual operating budget for fiscal year <br />2000 -01 will reflect the increased operational costs for the park. <br />2005 -06 <br />Through <br />Through <br />1999 -00 <br />2000 -01 <br />.2001 -02 <br />2002 -03 <br />2003 -04 <br />2004 -05 <br />2009 -10 <br />Total <br />Project Costs <br />Land/Building <br />$5,000 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$5,000 <br />Design <br />$140,390 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$140,390 <br />Construction <br />$713,300 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$713,300 <br />Other <br />$0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$0 <br />Total (�bsts <br />$858,690 <br />$0 <br />$Q <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$858,690 <br />Funding Sources <br />Sales Tax <br />$28,250 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$28,250 <br />Bond Funds <br />$819,440 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$819,440 <br />Private Placement <br />$0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$0 <br />Grant Funds <br />$0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$0 <br />Fees <br />$o <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$0 <br />Other <br />$11,000 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />$11,000 <br />Total Funding <br />$858,690 <br />$0 <br />$0 . <br />$0' <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$0 <br />$858,690 <br />Project Description <br />Originally opened in 1992, this park was built in coordination with the Efland Cheeks Community Center <br />and Efland Cheeks Elementary School.
