ORD- 2014 -013 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: April 1, 2014 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 6 -e <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Amendment #6 -A Reallocating Current Available County <br />Capital Funds to Proposed New County Capital Project <br />DEPARTMENT: Department of Environment, <br />Agriculture, Parks and <br />Recreation ( DEAPR) <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />David Stancil, 245 -2510 <br />PURPOSE: To approve Budget Amendment #6 -A reallocating $55,000 in current available <br />County Capital funds to a newly created County Capital Project. <br />BACKGROUND: As noted in the draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2030, a number of <br />the County's park facilities (and future park sites) are approaching the age of 10 -15 years. <br />Accordingly, facility repairs and site management work is beginning to accumulate in a manner <br />that warrants a new capital project to address these items. Existing funds of smaller amounts <br />exist in a number of completed park capital projects, and staff is proposing to transfer these <br />residual amounts to the proposed new "Park and Recreation Facility Renovations and Repairs" <br />project to address existing needs that can be handled in the current fiscal year. This will require <br />the Board to approve Budget Amendment #6 -A to move the funds from their current completed <br />projects to the proposed new project. <br />Examples of the types of work that will be needed include: <br />• Resurfacing of courts and tracks <br />• Replacement of park signs <br />• Culvert repair <br />• Trash and debris removal <br />• Replace stair rails, bollards and fencing <br />• Gutters on picnic shelters and drainage work <br />• Xeriscaping, and <br />• Security cameras and other security features <br />DEAPR staff has worked with Financial Services to develop a list of work projects both for the <br />current fiscal year 2013 -14 (to be addressed by the transfer of funds proposed herein) and for <br />needs in future fiscal years (which will be funded through the recommended Capital Investment <br />Plan (CIP). Accordingly, there is a new CIP project for items in future years included in the <br />
