Agenda Item No. 4

 

Introduced by the County Services and Finance Committees of the:

 

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

 

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF UP TO $150,000 FROM THE PARKS 508 FUND BALANCE TO THE PARKS 450 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE HAWK ISLAND PARK SPLASHPAD

 

RESOLUTION #06-042

 

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Parks Facility Master Plan was developed under the direction of the Ingham County Board of Commissioners to establish a systematic plan to meet the goal of providing adequate recreational facilities for the residents of Ingham County; and

 

WHEREAS, funds have been budgeted from the City of Lansing, Ingham County, and the National Park Service through a Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant in the amount of $300,000 for construction of a splashpad at Hawk Island Park; and

 

WHEREAS, unanticipated costs associated with the need to install a recirculation system have increased the projected cost estimate for the splashpad to $350,000 requiring an additional $50,000 to complete its construction without reducing the size of the facility; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to maximize the size of the splashpad itself, it has been the intention of the Parks & Recreation Commission to purchase and construct the ancillary facilities separately at a cost of $84,000; and

 

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Parks & Recreation Commission has identified funds within its budget to construct both the ancillary facilities and the splashpad in the amount of $134,000.

 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners, upon the recommendation of the Parks & Recreation Commission, authorizes the transfer of up to $150,000 from the 508 fund balance to the 450 Capital Improvement Fund for the construction of the splashpad and ancillary facilities at Hawk Island Park.
