FROM:
Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager


DATE: May 18, 2018


SUBJECT:

DISCUSSION REGARDING A MID-YEAR CAPITAL BUDGET AMENDMENT TO FUND THE INSTALLATION OF A PERIMETER FENCE AT POLO PARK, ALONG 42ND STREET AND MERIDIAN AVENUE


HISTORY:

At the April 25, 2018 Presentation and Awards Commission Meeting, a discussion item regarding a mid-year capital budget amendment for the funding of the installation of a perimeter fence at polo park, along 42nd Street and Meridian Avenue, was referred to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (“FCWP”).


ANALYSIS:

Nautilus Middle School parents along with community members surrounding Polo Park have requested for a fence to be installed along the southern and eastern perimeters of the park (42nd Street and Meridian Avenue) in order to enhance safety within the school and park. This fence will assist in controlling access to and from the park during school hours.

 

Currently, there are no funds to execute this project and a mid-year capital budget amendment will be necessary. Based on the scope provided by the parents and the community members surrounding Polo Park, the cost for this work would be $24,730, (this price includes both permitting and contingency).



CONCLUSION:

Finance and Citywide Projects Committee to discuss a mid-year capital budget amendment for the funding of the installation of a perimeter fence at Polo Park, along 42nd Street and Meridian Avenue.
