TO: City Manager FROM: public Works Administrator DATE: April 11, 1978 SUBJECT: MAGEE PARK MASTER PLAN A proposed master ~lan for the development of Magee Park, prepared by the firm of Law- rence Black 6 Associates, was presented to the City Council on February 21, 1978. In response to concerns expressed by Council, staff met with the Architect, analyzed the developmental program for Magee Park, and developed two alternative improvement schemes in addition to the master plan as previously presented. tions, as follows: Construction A1 te mate Improvements Estimate 1 Irrigation, landscaping, walkways, parking lot $ 68,000 The two new plans have varia- IA 2 2A Same as Alternate 1 plus area lighting, old City Hall and guest house relocation 90,400 Irrigation, landscaping, walkways, parking lot, lighting, lawn bowling, shuffleboard and picnic tables Same as Alternate 2 plus old City Hall, guest house, res trooms 182,000 139,000 3 Architect's original proposal 205,270 The above alternates do not include the cost of preparing plans and specifications ($8,000 to $18,000 desnzg on project approved for construction) and constructing street improvements on Garfield, Beech and Carlsbad Boulevard ($48,000 estimate) . Funds are budgeted for this project as follows: Amount Source $68,000 Revenue Sharing (1977-78) Purpose Landscaping and park development 48,000 Revenue Sharing (1977- 78) Public improvements Park-in-lieu funds for Park Area No. 1 in the amount of $34,000 are also available for expenditure on this project. Additional funds, if required, would have to be included in the 1978-79 budget.

This would seem to be some- what consistent with the Alternate No. 2 project minus two years' inflation.
