CityCouncil | 2010-11-03 | 3 | The Interim City Manager responded in the affirmative; stated the Farmer D item would also include using some of the existing, vacant, undeveloped park land for community gardens. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services stated the Urban Greening Plan grant cannot be just for a Park Master Plan; the urban agricultural component plays an integral part in receiving the grant. Councilmember Matarrese inquired whether there is one-time money in excess of $1 million to for field turf. The Interim City Manager responded in the affirmative; stated the aggregate amount is $3 million. Councilmember Matarrese stated including the $140,000 would be a good idea to get things going; the $3 million is a buffer; having a tree farm is a benefit; the Littlejohn Park redwood trees purchased from an outside vendor are smaller than those that came from the Alameda Point Collaborative nursery. The Interim City Manager stated swimming pool repairs are not going to be paid solely by the City. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired how Kemper Sports would be involved with the landscape planning. The Interim City Manager responded the Golf Course is a recreational facility and an Enterprise Fund; stated the City is in negotiations with Kemper Sports; staff could look for other ways to come up with $7,800 if Council does not want the money to come out of the Golf Enterprise Fund. Vice Mayor deHaan inquired whether part of the Kemper negotiations would include landscape planning, to which the Interim City Manager responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson stated the landscape planning cost should be paid out of the Golf Enterprise Fund and reimbursed by Kemper Sports. Councilmember Tam inquired whether the Golf Commission has been consulted on the matter, to which the Golf Commission Chair responded in the negative. Councilmember Tam stated Council assumes that Kemper Sports would take over landscape planning which includes the storm water management problem and identifying a tree palate that could use recycled water. The Recreation and Park Director stated said items would be included in negotiations now; the current tree palate cannot use recycled water.
