Item 5GCity of Southlake, Texas
MEMORANDUM
November 17, 2005
TO: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
FROM: Steve Polasek, Director of Community Services
SUBJECT: Approve Matching Funds Request from BooBoo's Buddies in the amount of
$8,500 for Dog Park improvements
Action Requested: City Council approval of SPDC Matching Funds request for BooBoo's
Buddies in the amount of $8,500 for proposed dog park improvements.
Background
Information: The initial phase of construction for the BooBoo's Buddies Community dog
park at Bob Jones Park is almost complete. Improvements include site clearing
and grubbing, installation of exterior decorative fencing, installation of interior
fencing, water line installation, placement of site amenities (tables, water
fountain, waste disposal stations), signage and landscaping. The majority of the
work is complete and a dedication ceremony is tentatively planned for January
of 2006. Funding for the initial phase of the project was allocated within the
fiscal year 2004 -05 SPDC CIP ($30,000) and Matching Funds ($12,500).
As part of the recent Pet Celebration held October 29, 2005, an additional
$8,500 was raised. The BooBoo's Buddies group is requesting SPDC
Matching Funds to provide walkway connections to the dog park, flatwork at
the entrance gates, and additional flatwork within the interior of the park to
include the watering stations. Approximately 2,813 square feet of concrete is
anticipated at a cost of $5.50 per square foot (2,813 sf x $5.50 /sf = $15,471).
Interior trails leading to a picnic unit near the entrances on both sides of the
dog park are also included and listed as an alternate item should funding allow
(100' x 5' x $5.50 = $2,750). These improvements would further enhance the
usability of the facility, reduce maintenance requirements, and improve the
aesthetics of the facility.
Financial
Considerations: Boo -Boo's Buddies recently raised $8,500 toward improvements at the dog
park for proposed flatwork. Fiscal Year 2005 -06 SPDC Matching Funds in the
amount of $200,000 are available and there have been no allocations to date.
Financial Impact: There are no negative long term financial impacts associated with this request.
Positive impacts include a reduction in maintenance resulting from wear
patterns to the dog park, at the entrance gates, and within the facility to include
the watering stations.
Citizen Input/
Board Review: Parks Board reviewed and recommended approval (9 -0) at their November 14,
2005 meeting.
The Southlake Parks Development Corporation (SPDC) will consider this item
immediately prior to the City Council meeting.
Legal Review: Not applicable
Alternatives: City Council review and consideration.
