Deferred from the April 14, 2009 City <br />Council Meeting. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of Community. <br /> <br />Background: <br />. The Cradock Civic League has requested a skate park to be located at George <br />Washington Park in Cradock. <br />. The total cost for a 100' x 75' skate park is estimated to be $200,000, to include <br />site work, a concrete slab and steel modular skate ramp equipment. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />. The "Cradock Athletic Fields" Project in the Capital Improvement Program <br />(Project #15307) has a balance of $334,000. This funding was originally planned to <br />build athletic fields at the City-owned property adjacent to the Old Cradock High School <br />for future use by the Cradock Little League. Since that time, a five-year lease has been <br />signed with the Navy which will permit Cradock Little League to continue to operate at <br />St. Julian's Creek Annex. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />. The source of the appropriated funds is a Capital Improvement Program <br />reprogramming and transfer from the "Cradock Athletic Fields Project" to a new "Skate <br />Park Project" totaling $200,000. <br /> <br />Staff Recommends: <br />. Adoption of ordinance. Vision Principle: Thriving Neighborhoods and a Sense of <br />Community <br />
