"As y~'ate'aware, until-the early 1980's the Parks and Recreation Compound was located at City Park. Because the facilities were in such poor condition, the City leased TRT's Compouhd located~on Victory Boulevard. In 1988, TRT informed the City-th~%'~de to Urban Mass'Transit Administration (UMTA) regulatioRs~it-was~being required to dispese of shrplus property and that they could no longer lease the Victory Boulevard Compound to the City. At that time we analyzed the needs of the Parks and Recreation Department and after results of that study, we purchased the facility from TRT. The site is occupied not only by the Department of Parks and Recreation, but the Department of General Services as well (school bus storage). As you are aware from a recent Council presentation, future plans include a fuel dispensing depot ~u the site. When the facility was purchased a check list was prepared of needed modifications to the facility i.e., electrical, roofing, HVAC; etc. In the 1988u89 CIP, $80,000 was programmed for these~ improvements. Attached ~s a copy of the bid list and request for appropriation in the amount of $80,000 (includes 10% contingency). The Director of General Services and the Director of Parks and Recreation have submitted this request to me with their endorsement. I, therefore, recommend that City Council appropriate $80,000 from the 1988~89 CIP and authorize award to the respective Iow bidders." Mr. Larose M.
