Consider Park Irrigation Projects for 2015 Date: November 20, 2014 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider the park irrigation projects for 2015. DISCUSSION The Capital Improvement Plan for 2015 includes irrigation of 1 or more parks. The Public Works Parks Maintenance Department has identified the top three parks that are to be considered by the Commission. The three parks are as follows: • Wild Iris Park — $12,000 (includes the installation of pump assembly, irrigation of the baseball field and around the playground area.
