BACKGROUND /REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Crockett Recreation Association is embarking on a major fundraiSing campaign to
help finance renovations to the Crockett Community Center/Alexander Park located at
850 Pomona Street, Crockett. The proposed renovation project includes the following:
• Installing a new entrance ramp to the multipurpose room to meet ADA
specifications
• Constructing a new senior plaza (patio) adjacent to the multipurpose room
• Constructing a trash enclosure
• Repaving the pathway around the east side and rear of the Center
• Installing a new gazebo and stone walkway
• Constructing a new barbeque area with serving tables
• Constructing new restrooms at the west end of the courtyard
• Removing the existing concrete patio at the rear of the Center and replacing
with interlocking pavers
• Installing additional fighting at the bocce ball and tennis courts
The cost to complete the project is estimated at $504,000. The Crockett Recreation
Association has begun its fundraising efforts and hopes to use the Park Dedication funds
as leverage to secure additional grants from foundations and corporations. It is proposed
that the Park Dedication funds not be disbursed until the Association secures the
necessary funding to complete the proposed project. The Association hopes to secure
sufficient funds to move forward with the project by June 2004, with completion of the
project by February 2005. This recommended action would sunset if the Association has
not completed its fundraising by August 2004. If approved, the available balance in the
Crockett account will be approximately $3,400.
It is the policy of the County to utilize park dedication funds to meet local park needs and
staff beliefs this action is consistent with that policy. In addition,the County's Service Area
P-1 Citizen's Advisory Committee has approved this request for Park Dedication funding.
Maintenance of the improvements will be provided by the Crockett Recreation Association.
