RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council discuss and provide direction on the Sand Dune Park Conceptual Design Proposal.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
There is no fiscal implication associated with the recommended action at this time. Nevertheless, the anticipated construction expenses, including a 20% allowance for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements, and 20% for final design, inspection and construction management, amount to approximately $3,517,306. The budget for the Sand Dune Master Plan project comprises of $1,200,000 from the CIP fund. Furthermore, a portion of the Public Arts Fund, which currently has approximately $800,000 in unrestricted funds, could be designated for ornamental fencing in the upper and lower sections. Additionally, part of Measure A park development grant funds, which has an available balance of roughly $489,000, could also be employed for this project. Any budget deficits pertaining to this project will need to be resolved in the forthcoming Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan or by reassigning other funded CIP projects.
