Ax Oshkosh TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Ray Maurer, Parks Director DATE: October 18, 2018 RE: Approve Amendment to 2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget — Parks Special Projects/Fully Funded Account and Rainbow Park Ball Field Improvement Fund BACKGROUND On November 29, 2017 the Common Council adopted the 2018 budgets. At that time, no expenses were anticipated from the Parks Special Projects/Fully Funded Account or the Rainbow Park Ball Field Improvement Fund. The Parks Special Projects/Fully Funded account is where various donations are deposited which cover specific costs for park projects, essentially a designated donation account. The Rainbow Park Ball Field Improvement Fund is for the renovation of the existing ball field. ANALYSIS The Teichmiller Park ball field renovation project, which was funded through the Great Neighborhoods Initiatives, has been occurring this late summer and fall. This field is used extensively by the Oshkosh North Youth Baseball organization (ONYB). During the planning stages of this project, ONYB presented a plan to the Parks Department and Advisory Parks Board for their organization to fund a batting cage at the park. ONYB has donated materials as well as a check for $4,200.00 to cover the costs for concrete. Working with the Finance Department, the funds were deposited into the Parks Special Projects/Fully Funded account and the expenses will be paid from that account as well. The Rainbow Park Ball Field Improvement project will begin this fall/winter and continue into 2019 thanks to a fundraising effort spearheaded by Sydney Supple, Oshkosh North High School Fast Pitch Player and the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation. Sydney Supple was the first girl from Oshkosh to be named Wisconsin Softball Player of the Year and she doesn't want to be the last. She started this fundraising project because she feels that having an additional field for youth to utilize would be beneficial to the entire community. Sydney has raised over $80,000 and the Rainbow Park Ball Field Improvement Fund currently has a balance of $5,200 from donations the city has received for the project. FISCAL IMPACT The total fiscal impact of the budget amendment for the Parks Special Projects/Fully funded account is $4,200.00. The amendment will authorize funding for the concrete work to A/N#: 0325-0610-7216-07956. The total fiscal impact of the Rainbow Park Ball Field Improvement Fund is $85,200.00. The amendment will authorize acceptance of the donations and funding for the project to A/N#: 0325-0610-7216-07610. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council approve this resolution.
