We believe the information is needed for "informed discussions <br />about the issues" and for reaching a "well- balanced and throughtful plan <br />for Amazon Park." <br />Your letter did not address CPA's information request. I trust <br />that we can arrange for a meeting to discuss how to gather together the <br />exising information that we seek. Your assistance in assembling this <br />information will be appreciated. <br />>INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN REQUESTED BY CPA <br />> Hopefully, staff and council see the fiscal and political advantages <br />>of being forthcoming with existing information, and for considering <br />>reasonable alternatives for Amazon Park with broad community input. Any <br />>assistance you or other City Councilors can give us in assembling the <br />>following existing data, as requested by Citizens for Public Accountability, <br />>will be appreciated: <br />>1. USAGE <br />> A. Determine Amazon Park acreage and building space devoted to <br />>different types of activities <br />> and approximate annual hours of usage of these spaces. Both <br />>organized and daily recreational activities <br />> should be accounted for. Include any fields or courts <br />>maintained by the City. <br />• B. Estimate vehicle presence associated with different usages. <br />• C. Estimate lighting power (e.g., height, brightness) <br />> associated with different usages. <br />>2. COSTS <br />> A. Estimate bond, SDC and general fund expenditures on <br />>construction and maintenance of Amazon Park corridor <br />> areas devoted to different recreational activities. <br />> B. Determine approximate expenditures on these different areas <br />>during the past 10 years within Amazon Park. <br />> C. Show approximate income to Recreation and Parks associated <br />>with different recreational activities. <br />>3. BALLFIELD DATA <br />> Create a map of current soccer, base /softball fields on school and <br />>City properties and an inventory of ball fields <br />> that could be enhanced and areas that could be developed as ball <br />>fields. <br />> 4. COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA <br />> Collate existing formal community survey information that has been <br />>gathered within the last ten years <br />
