Subject:Allocation of Park Dedication Funds for the Walden Green I Project in the Contra Costa Centre Area
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
by Fall 2013.
It is the policy of the County to use park dedication funds to meet local park needs. This action is consistent with that
policy and staff recommends approval of the request for funds. There are sufficient funds in the Contra Costa Centre
area park dedication accounts to fund this request and to help finance future park improvements related to the Walden
Green II project. The Contra Costa Centre Municipal Advisory Council recommended approval of the request for
park dedication funds at its meeting on January 15, 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving the request for Park Dedication funds will result in the project not having sufficient resources for its
completion.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
