Discuss proposed funding plan for Log Cabin enhancements
SUBJECT:
Action Requested:
Discussion of proposed funding plan for Log Cabin
enhancements
Background
Information:
Several months ago, staff briefed city council on required log
cabin modifications. The design for the next phase is
complete and we now have cost estimates that would
require budget amendments:
An amendment to the Southlake Parks Development
Corporation (SPDC) Capital Improvement budget for an
increase of $62,106 in expenditures
Additional funds in the amount of $44,000 for
modifications to the log cabin located in Bicentennial
Park. The modifications are required to meet ADA
regulations and include construction of an ADA
accessible ramp and associated walkway,
modifications to the front porch, front doorway and
door, and back porch steps. Once modifications are
completed, visitors will be able to fully access and
enter the log cabin.
Additional funds in the amount of $18,106 to
construct an ADA accessible parking area near the
cabin.
An amendment to the Utility Fund budget for an
increase of $43,394 in expenditures
Additional funds in the amount of $43,394 for
improvements to the water tower drive near
Bicentennial Park. The long-term plan is to improve
the drive from White Chapel Blvd. up to and around
the water tower near. However, with the construction
of the log cabin, it is necessary to expedite the

just off the drive near the cabin.
