SCHUTTE PARK IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Mr. Ron Kawakai and Mr. Allen Reznick, Representatives from Sasaki Associates presented members with the Master Plan for the Schutte Park Complex, which consists of four phases (as on file in the Office of the City Clerk). Mr. Kawakai assured members that recommendations made during the August 12th Council Workshop have been included in the Master Plan.

In response to Mr. Salters, Mr. Zachery Carter, Parks and Recreation Director, stated that Phase One, Two and Four will take approximately two years to complete and that Phase Three will take approximately six months to complete. Mr. Carter stated that it will depend on funding whether all four phases may be performed at the same time or simultaneously.

By questions of Mr. Daisey, Mr. Kawakai advised members that the model car racing track was not included in the Master Plan. Mr. Carter explained that although it is not recommended that a model car racing track be located at the Schutte Park, staff is providing assistance in finding another location. Mr. Carter stated that a super elevated oval race track, at 1/10 the size of Dover Downs, would cost approximately $55,000 and would require an area the size of a football field.

Noting that the cost for the development of Schutte Park is included in the proposed Bond Issue, Mr. Worley requested that the recommendations for the Master Plan be considered during the Council Workshop on September 12, 1991.

Mr. Hare moved for adjournment, seconded by Mrs. Wasko and unanimously carried.

Meeting adjourned at 8:50 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

William H. Daisey

Chairman
