Budget Adjustment: Parks and Recreation’s Request to Transfer $419,465 between Capital Projects - $419,465 from Mt Olympus Trailhead, $200,000 to Parleys Trail, $181,465 to Rose & Yellowfork Canyon Trails, $38,000 to Lodestone Playground Turf
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: Parks and Recreation is nearing the completion of the Mount Olympus trail project. This request transfers the remaining Mount Olympus budget to allocate funding for two high priority trail projects and address a health and safety playground issue. The request completes the funding for Parley’s Trail and secures more funding for the Rose/ Yellowfork/Butterfield Canyons trail project. The turf at Lodestone Regional Park’s playground have detached from adjacent edges and seams. These sections present tripping hazards and allow the subsurface base to shift and degrade. The area has been roped off to prevent children and other park visitors from injuring themselves. As the weather gets warmer and the school year ends, playground traffic will increase, and it will become increasingly difficult to mitigate the risk of injury. To correct this safety issue, the existing artificial turf surfacing needs to be removed and discarded, the subsurface base needs to be corrected and repaired, and new artificial turf needs to be installed and secured. This will restore the functionality, aesthetic, and safety of the playground surfacing. No new County funding is requested.
