Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Committee Page 2 February 20, 2002 ITEM #7. Park Dedication Fund Budget and 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. Staff reviewed the Park Dedication Fund Budget and 5-Year Capital Improvement Program. Staff briefly discussed revenue projections. Staff and committee reviewed approximately 40 projects proposed in the 2002 budget representing approximately $2,072,000. Staff also talked about pushing forward funding for Valley Lake renovation project. Several factors were discussed including the long-term feasibility of maintaining a public beach at the site. It was suggested that the possibility of a community center with aquatic facilities may negate the need to maintain three beaches in Lakeville. Instead of relocating the beach in the near future, it is now being suggested that we wait until a determination on future aquatic facilities is determined. Staff suggested that trail extensions and the need for a public rest room facility remains a priority and future ?potential? revenues may allow construction of such a facility earlier than 2004. 02.05 Motion by Skeps, seconded by Volimas to recommend to City Council approval of the proposed Park Dedication Fund Budget and 5-Year Capital Improvement Program as presented by Parks and Recreation Director, Steve Michaud.
