Young Park. This request was approved by the County Service Area R-7A Citizens Advisory Committee at their regular meeting on February 22, 2006. Hap Magee Ranch Park—The project includes the construction or repair of the following items: play and picnic areas and parking, undergrounding of PG&E utilities, construction of a dog park, renovation of the brick patio and fencing at the Cottage, and various other play equipment and site furniture enhancements. A majority of the improvements have been completed; the remaining improvements (patio and parking lot) are due to be started by the Fall 2006. The total cost of the project is approximately$1.1 million. On May 18, 2004 the Board of Supervisors approved a recommendation from the Public Works Department to share the costs of this project equally with the Town of Danville. Livorna Park — The project includes the construction and repair of the following items: bulletin board, play equipment, metal benches, drinking fountains, picnic tables, barbeque grills as well as other site furnishings and play items. This project is expected to be placed out-to-bid in June, 2006 with construction starting in October, 2006. Total cost (construction only) of the project is estimated at$270,000. R-7A funds.will pay the balance of the cost of the project. Andrew H.

All of the work on this project will be completed y August, 2006. Total cost of this project (construction only) is$108,000. R-7A funds will pay the balance of the cost of the project.

It is the policy of the County to utilize park dedication funds to meet local park needs and this recommended action is consistent with that policy.
