We will disclose the following information from closed session.

Thank you.

Thank you again.

Um, I think the last time I was here was maybe in December for the last update when we were talking about priorities and we um maybe went over a few projects in particular about how those would be affected by that prioritization process.

Um this afternoon's update is about uh really trying to shorten May's budget study session so that that can be explicitly about budget, and tonight I can answer questions about the status of any projects.

Um tonight I've got um a review of parks and their um ongoing capital improvement program, uh water and transportation public works, and then a few specific city facilities that will be of interest to folks at the end.

Um specific to parks, um there's a little over 56 million dollars in current capital improvement funds for parks capital planning.

Um more than 30 million dollars of that is for projects that are currently in design with the vast majority of that um anticipated to be delivered next fiscal year.

Um you can see here on this table.

Um essentially those first five projects are all for delivery, um, and then the MLK neighborhood park renovation is for environmental review and clearance of that.

Um so we expect to deliver all five of those projects uh beginning this coming fiscal year.

Um I can specifically say that the South Davis and Kawana Springs um projects there are remain um or need one additional approval, and then we'll put those out to bid.

Um, similar for the Howarth and Galvin Park um projects, we're we're um very close to putting that out to bid.

Um I've also included the Bennett Valley Gulf Course Irrigation Pond on this slide.

Um that just went through uh 75% design review and again is on track to be bid uh later this summer.

I know that's of interest to everybody, and we'll we'll talk about that again a little bit later in more detail.

Um one other project I wanted to highlight on this slide is the Rosemon Creek Park.

Um while the park design is ongoing, um, we will be um building a path and a crossing to Roseland Creek Elementary School this coming summer.

Um, and we intend to have that open before school starts next year.

So I know that's a key connection through that.

If you've been by that park, you see the go trails of people walking through it, um, but providing that connection to the school and uh and uh um proper uh formal crossing uh I think will be of great benefit to that uh area and particularly to students at that school.

Um there's another uh nearly 22 million dollars for projects that are in planning and design.

Um that bottom table.

We are looking for ways to um kind of rearrange the money based on the timing of specific projects and see if anything can be advanced more quickly.

Um there's a certain amount of that money that is Measure M money um and looking for those 11 projects at the bottom there to see if um if any of those are solely funding constrained or if there are design and permitting questions that relate to those, but essentially we've done an audit of every dollar that um the parks department has available to it to deliver capital projects and you see all of those dollars on this on these two slides here and the tables um and so this provide an opportunity for review and suggestions for a budget study session or any questions back to me or to park staff uh about where those dollars are are headed um in the future and with anticipated delivery dates for each of those projects too.

Director Hinnersy, before you go on, I want to draw your attention um to the ML Keen Junior neighborhood park.

Um you'll notice on the sheet it says two million dollars remaining.

What I have asked staff to do um most of the planning came from the community.

What I've asked them to do is we need to make certain that we spend this in field infrastructure grant.

We want to make certain that we're getting the funding out the door.

So if we need to go back to the community and put this in phases, go ahead and um pair it down a little bit to the amount of funding that we do have.

And in the event we do get extra funding, maybe for the two million dollars, we can put it in phases.

So staff is prepared, and I've had this conversation with the Director Hennessy as well to go ahead and get this funding out the door for phase one.

Thank you for that city manager.

Um moving forward to water CIP.

Um, while there's nearly 150 million dollars in those accounts, um almost 50 million dollars of that is currently encumbered either through design or construction contracts.

Uh we have just over 100 million dollars available, and more than 90 million dollars of that is either for projects that are currently in design or are ready for design.

I'm gonna speak specifically to um that's across all three funding sources for water and speak specifically to those projects over the next uh couple slides.
