FROM: Harvey E. Bragdon Costa
Director of Community Development
Courly
DATE: April 26, 1988
SUBJECT: Richmond Park Site in North Richmond
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECONMKENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Urge the City of Richmond, the Richmond Unified School
District, the East Bay Regional Park District and County staff
to develop a plan for utilization of the vacant parksite
immediately to the west of the Verde School for public
purposes, including an environmental studies program tied to
the Wildcat Creek flood control improvements.
2. Direct the Community Development Department to initiate a
process with those agencies to determine how such a plan can
be developed.
FISCAL IMPACT
This will require staff time to set up .the meeting and provide the
basis for consideration of such a plan. Initial costs will be _
minor and be mostly staff time. If a study effort is agreed to, it
will require further Board authorization.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Wildcat-San Pablo Design Team has been working . for approxi-
mately three years on the development of a design for Wildcat and „
San Pablo Creeks. In discussing the issues of the channel improve-
ments around Verde School, the Design Team learned that no
specific plans have been devised for the development of a park on
the City of Richmond property directly to the west of Verde School.
The City of Richmond originally acquired the site to develop as a
park. Richmond staff have discussed the use of ballfields for a
portion, of the area, however, no detailed planhas been evised for
use of the site.
