RecreationandParkCommission | 2010-01-14 | 4 | allocated. Director Lillard stated that Littlejohn Park will be funded and renovated through Community Block Grant funds. Vice Chair Restagno asked how large the liability is with regard to tennis court resurfacing. Director Lillard stated that staff can keep the courts going for another year with patching, etc. What really needs to be done is to grind the whole court and put a special mat down under the court to stop the cracking. If this type of new surface is installed then we should not have to redo the tennis courts for approximately 25 years. Chair Ogden asked if the resurfacing costs include all the courts (e.g., Franklin Park, Leydecker Park, and Washington Park). Director Lillard stated yes. Vice Chair Restagno stated that there is no guarantee that the funds will be available in a year, so how much longer can staff continue. Director Lillard stated that he can keep them going for another two to three years. Vice Chair Restagno stated that his concern is that it is a huge liability with people playing on the courts. Director Lillard stated that there may also be an opportunity through the City's CIP process to get the courts done. Director Lillard stated that staff will be working with the Alameda Boys & Girls Club to compile/submit their grant for Measure WW funds to the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). Chair Ogden asked what the renovation of the Harrison Center would entail. Director Lillard stated that the renovation includes removing the wall between the kitchen and storage room to expand the kitchen to a commercial kitchen, new flooring, new HVAC system, wall resurfacing, and energy efficient lighting. Part of the cost will be the drainage problem in the right field corner out at the field. Vice Chair Restagno stated that in looking at the list it does seem to be focused on the east end. Chair Ogden stated that the tennis court resurfacing is all over the City as well as the field lights renovations. Director Lillard stated that Littlejohn Park will also be renovated with Community Development funds. Chair Ogden asked about Estuary Park and the Alameda Belt Line Park. Director Lillard stated that he is working on obtaining some Base funds for Estuary Park. If that does not work out in the course of the next year then an item will be shifted from the Measure WW list and we will apply to EBRPD. The Alameda Belt Line will have to be funded separately. Chair Ogden asked about the O' Club Kitchen. Director Lillard stated that we can keep patching it together so that it is usable, whereas, Krusi recreation center is unusable at this time. Vice Chair Restagno asked how much revenue could be generated from Krusi Park Recreation Center versus having a good kitchen at the O' Club? Director Lillard stated that if staff ran a day care at the site and added more classes $30,000 to $75,000 could be generated per year. For the O' Club we could generate approximately $250,000 if there was a full commercial kitchen that caterers could use. Vice Chair Restagno asked what the cost would be to renovate the O' Club Kitchen.
