SUBJECT: OAKLFY.PARKS DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer the matter of Oakley parks
_development and' maintenance to the Community Development Department
for the rapid development- of an RFP .for a parks consultant.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: For over a year the Oakley
. Municipal 'Advisory Council (OMAC) has been developing plans for parks
and park maintenance. I believe the parks are a very important
ingredient to the quality of life and that we must develop and finance
a quality park system for Oakley.
To that end, I wrote the attached letter dated April 3 ,
1986 , and attended a commuunity meeting along with Karl Wandry and
Dennis Fransen 'sponsored by OMAC on April 21. There is a -high
community interest in proceeding with park -acquisition and pursuit of
a ballot measure for .establishing a maintenance fee for Oakley parks.
OMAC has established a park subcommittee to spearhead coordination of
community groups, the Oakley School District and other interested
parties in working on this effort.
It necessary, in my opinion, to form a special district
to to go to the ballot for the purpose of park maintenance. It is
also necessary to obtain a . park consultant to ( 1) develop a parks
maintenance plan, ( 2 ) to work with the community in reviewing
alternate sites and financing mechanisms; ( 3 ) to assist the Community
Development Department in applying for state park bond money for
Oakley to meet the October filing deadline for the grant applications.
Furthermore, the parks sytem and "master plan" should be reflected in
the Oakley General Plan.
Approximately $311, 000 has been collected from park
dedication fees for these planning purposes and .the OMAC .is the
advisory body for funding recommendations.
In_my previous referral of March 25, 1986 (copy attached) , I
referred the questino of OMAC staffing and the use of park dedication
fees to assist in OMAC' s park planning efforts. The Finance Committee
on May 5 , 1986 discussed this item and decided that this issue should
be reviewed in the context of this report. The question of staff
assistance to OMAC in working with the community on the parks issues
should be considered as part of the RFP process.
