Plan for Parks, Recreation, and Open Space will be to accurately identify the desired level of <br /> funding to adequately maintain parks infrastructure, and to identify strategies for providing stable <br /> ' funding for this important work activity. <br /> Funded and Unfunded Programs <br /> Only a fraction of the backlog of parks and open space projects can be funded with existing <br /> sources, and thus a significant amount of the parks and open space CIP is unfunded. It is <br /> anticipated that the Mayor's Committee for Parks, Recreation and Open Space will identify a <br /> number of funding priorities for a future bond measure as part of its work on the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. As stated previously, the projects included in this CIP, both funded and unfunded, <br /> originated from long-range master plans and/or City Council goals and policies, or have a high <br /> priority based on operational needs. It should be noted that the costs given for unfunded projects <br /> are only preliminary budget planning costs and are, for the most part, not based on detailed <br /> design cost estimates. <br /> Parks & Open Space Sond Measure <br /> The 1998 Parks & Open Space bond measure funded $25.3 million in development of new <br /> neighborhood and community parks, renovation of existing parks, acquisition of parklands, and <br /> expansion of the ridgeline open space system. Funding for these projects was included in the <br /> previous two CIPs, and the following projects have been completed: <br /> • Churchill, Sheldon, and Cal Young Youth Sports Parks <br /> • Bethel Community Park Phases I and R <br /> • Amazon Pool Renovation <br /> • Athletic Field Upgrades (19 fields) <br /> • Irwin Park- <br /> • Laurel Hill Park <br /> <br /> - ~ Shadow Wood Park <br /> Skyview Park <br /> Neighborhood Park Acquisition (4 sites) <br /> • Ridgeline Park Acquisition (200 acres) <br /> Parks and Open Space bond measure projects included in previous CIPs but not yet constructed <br /> are shown in Figure 2a. In addition the bond measure included funds to acquire neighborhood <br /> and community parks and expanding the Ridgeline Trail Open Space System. <br /> City of Eugene 2004 - 2009 Capital Improvement Program <br /> Page 42 <br /> _ <br /> _ <br /> <br />
