CAPITAL EXPENDITURES COMMITTEE REPORT TO 2011 ATM
<br /> Recreation
<br /> The Recreation programs in the FY2012 budget have three funding sources: CPF for projects that meet
<br /> the criterion for protection of a recreation resource, Recreation EF for fee-based program facilities, and
<br /> tax levy for a non-fee-based community facilities such as neighborhood playgrounds.
<br /> The second phase of the Drainage Implementation Plan for the Center Playfields complex seeks
<br /> Community Preservation Funding under Article 8(g) this year and Phase III in FY2013 (estimated at
<br /> $605,718) would complete the project. This large Drainage project will restore, progressively, most play
<br /> fields in the 23-acre site to a much higher standard of use and playability. The last phase would address
<br /> the Little League/Jr. Varsity Softball field, practice-field area, and the parking lot. Total project cost
<br /> remains at$2.39 million, largely devoted to construction.
<br /> In Article 9, funds are being requested from the Recreation EF for Phase II of renovations at the Irving H.
<br /> Mabee Pool Complex as the swimming program is fee-based. Phase II addresses interior repairs and
<br /> renovations to enhance environmental and energy efficiencies. The last phase of the pool project will
<br /> replace the present filtration system and require additional building space to house a fourth filtration
<br /> system(projected to cost$1,120,000 in FY2016).
<br /> The third project, in Article 10(o), requests tax-levy funding for the renovations of the field behind the
<br /> Franklin Housing complex. This continues a yearly renewal of neighborhood programs with out-year
<br /> projects being as follows: The proposed renovation schedule is FY2013 Irrigation improvements at
<br /> Garfield Park and additional irrigation at Diamond and Clarke Fields ($50,000); FY2014 Replace
<br /> surface Field 1 at Lincoln Park and possibly Estabrook, which was deleted from this year's projects, for
<br /> $200,000; FY2015 Field 2 at Lincoln Park and Fields at Southland ($200,000); [and] FY 2016 Center
<br /> Track field area and #3 field at Lincoln Park. Additional tax-levy funded is slated for resurfacing the
<br /> Center track FY2013 ($110,000); Ringe and Marvin basketball re-surfacing in FY2016. The remaining
<br /> resurfacing project is for $75,000 in FY2015 for the Gallagher Tennis Courts and Clarke tennis courts
<br /> will ask for Recreation Enterprise funds.
<br /> Athletic field lighting will be addressed in two phases. In FY2013, energy-efficient lighting structures
<br /> will replace present Gallagher tennis court lights from the Recreation EF ($172,927) and on Center
<br /> Basketball Courts from tax levy ($96,542). In FY2015, Phase II lighting Plan is to replace the Center #2
<br /> Varsity Softball structure ($172,926) and Center #1 Varsity Baseball field structure ($286,433), both tax
<br /> levy with a 25-year warranty and maintenance plan.
<br /> Pine Meadows has a regular equipment-replacement program for the heavily used specialized mowers
<br /> and aerators, all funded from Recreation EF. In FY2013, a Toro or Jacobsen 3400 Mower Replacement
<br /> used for green's work is expected to cost $42,000. In FY2015, a Toro Grounds Master 4500D mower for
<br /> cutting the rough replaces the present model for $52,000, and in FY2016, Toro Workman Utility vehicle
<br /> costing $20,000 and a Toro Aerator for $25,000 will replace present models. In addition, Phase II of the
<br /> dam restoration and drainage project (Phase I now complete) is slated for FY2014 for $259,000 from the
<br /> Recreation EF. Included will be regrading the fairways and adding drainage at the 1St, 2nd, and 8th holes.
