27 be located between the two most southeastern tennis courts of the complex. Schrickel,
28 Rollins and Associates (SRA), the design firm on the Bicentennial Park Improvements
29 Project, recommended a concept design that would match the Bicentennial Park Phase
30 3 park theme and adjacent office building. Funding in the amount of $40,000 is
31 approved in the Park Dedication Fund budget to construct the additional storage space.
32 Cost of the new storage building is $39,664. Electrical service installation will be an
33 additional $3,950 and will be handled out of anticipated savings within the' FY 2009
34 Parks operation budget.
