Medlin, 682-4930 <br /> Director, Parks and Open Space Division <br />Subject: <br />CITY COUNCIL ASSIGNMENT RESPONSE: Update – Creekside Park <br />This memorandum is in response to a request from Councilor Clark for an update for planned <br />improvements to Creekside Park. I hope the below information is helpful. <br /> Park Plan Public Involvement - completed in FY08 <br /> Engineering Design – complete in FY09 <br /> Construction – currently not scheduled, previously anticipated for 2009 <br />One of the primary issues that needs to be resolved before we can schedule construction is the <br />availability of funding. The 2008-2013 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contemplated the <br />use of Parks Systems Development Charges (SDC’s) for the construction of various <br />neighborhood parks including Creekside Park. Unfortunately, the actual SDC revenue collected <br />has been significantly lower than what was assumed in the CIP due to the slowdown in <br />construction permitting. The cumulative FY08 and FY09 SDC revenue shortfall of more than $2 <br />million will preclude our ability to construct Creekside Park, Grasshopper Park and Ferndale <br />Park in the summer of 2009 as previously anticipated. <br />If you have additional questions please email me at Johnny.r.medlin@ci.eugene.or.us or <br />telephone at 682-4930. <br />
