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. Supporting Documents: Supporting documents include: • Matching Funds Request Form • Dog Park aerial • Overview of anticipated flatwork Staff Recommendation: City Council approval of SPDC Matching Funds request for Boo -Boo's Buddies in the amount of $8,500 for proposed dog park improvements.
