She questioned why $70,000 was budgeted <br />for one park while the FY18 request combined improvements to three parks for $60,000. Mr. <br />Coleman explained that the future request for Sutherland Park included replacement of the <br />entire playground structure while the FY18 request only included replacement of the swing sets <br />at the three locations. <br />While discussing the status of previously funded recreation projects, Ms. Fenollosa asked about <br />the ADA Accessibility Study that was approved for FY16 and how the findings may impact <br />recreation projects approved since that time and the requests presently before the CPC. Mr. <br />Coleman confirmed that any improvements would be incorporated into the capital plan. <br />The CPC voted (7 -0 -1) in a straw poll to support the project. <br />2) Town Pool Renovation- While summarizing the FY18 request for Town Pool Renovations, Mr. <br />Coleman noted that the Recreation Department expects an updated audit (based on the original <br />2008 audit of the facility) from the consultant within the next month. The new audit will <br />provide updated costs for the renovation. The current estimate requests $1,620,000 in CPA <br />funding. <br />1 <br />
