Subject:Park Dedication Fund Disbursement - El Sobrante Children's Reading Garden Project
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
As a final amenity for the project, the Public Works Department is requesting an additional
$28,824 of Park Dedication funds to help pay for the installation of an arbor feature in the
park. The R-9 Committee has approved Public Works’ request to access park dedication
funds, and there are sufficient funds in the El Sobrante Park Dedication Trust Fund account
to meet this request. If approved, the balance in the El Sobrante area accounts will be
approximately $490,000. It is the policy of the County to utilize park dedication funds to
meet local park needs and this action is consistent with that policy.
