AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to issue a warrant in the amount of $47,600 to the City of Concord from Park
Dedication Trust Account 8136 42020 3331 to finance the construction of a shade structure at Meadow Homes Park
located at the corner of Sunshine Drive and Detroit Avenue in Concord.

No impact to the County's General Fund - 100% Park Dedication Trust Account.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Concord (City) is requesting $47,600 in County Park Dedication funds to finance the construction of a
shade structure at the 12-acre Meadow Home Park located at the corner of Sunshine Drive and Detroit Avenue in
Concord. The new shade structure will be constructed adjacent to the new "spray park" area that is within the park and
that features water play areas for tots, tweens, and teens. The shade structure will have a metal roof with steel
columns, approximately 22 feet wide by 28 feet long, and will be constructed to provide cover for a group of picnic
tables. The Concord spray park is just one of two spray parks in the area, thus potentially drawing visitors from a
wide geographic area including residents of the unincorporated areas of the County where the park dedication funds
were generated. Construction costs associated with the shade structure is estimated at $32,000 with the balance of the
funds going to soft costs (i.e. shop drawings, material testing, and construction management). The timeline submitted
by the City shows the work starting in late January 2014. The project is expected to be completed prior to the
re-opening of the Spray Park for the season in May 2014. Once installed, the shade structure will
