Exhibit 1 • Major Park Renovation or Improvements: Major renovations or improvements are anticipated to affect approximately 30 percent of the developed portion of the site. Costs are calculated at 30 percent of full park development costs, based on MIG estimates using averages of comparable communities and projects. • Turf Conversion: Turf conversions are anticipated to affect approximately five percent of the developed portion of the site. Costs are calculated at five percent of full park development costs, based on MIG estimates using averages of comparable communities and projects. • Landscaping/Plantings: Landscape/Plantings are anticipated to affect approximately two percent of the developed portion of the site. Costs are calculated at two percent of full park development costs, based on MIG estimates using averages of comparable communities and projects. MAINTENANCE Maintenance costs are identified in three categories and represent the estimated annual amount needed to maintain existing parks and new parks when developed. All sites receive at a minimum a standard level of care to maintain developed and natural areas. Some sites also receive a greater level of maintenance as noted below. • Standard Maintenance: The standard level of maintenance includes routine monitoring, inspection and care of recreation facilities, natural areas and landscaping. Costs are calculated for 100% of every site, reflecting City Council maintenance needs after sites are developed or improved. These are estimated based on expenditures for average park maintenance costs, FY 2021-22 budget. • Enhanced Maintenance: Enhanced maintenance is needed at highly -visible, heavily - used sites that include specialized assets. Costs are based on the percentage of developed acreage at selected sites and added to the basic maintenance cost. These are estimated based on expenditures for average park maintenance costs, FY 2021-22 budget. • Nature Resource Stewardship: Nature resource stewardship is needed at larger Citywide Parks that have lakes or undeveloped areas left in a mostly natural state. These funds represent an allowance to attend to preservation, restoration or protection of natural resource areas. Costs are assessed for the undeveloped/natural portions of parks only. These are estimated based on expenditures for average park maintenance costs, FY 2021-22 budget. REINVEST This annual allowance may be set aside to offset the costs of replacing facilities at the end of their lifecycles. Funds can be used for major repairs, but these funds are not intended to support routine maintenance. • Asset Management & Replacement: These annualized costs are based on a 20-year replacement schedule to update one -quarter of the park, including landscaping and amenities. 14 — 169 Exhihit.A PLANNING -LEVEL COSTS BY CATEGORY Table E-2 introduces the allocations and per -acre costs use to calculate total capital and operations costs by site. Most costs apply to the developed portions of parks only, or in the case of natural resource stewardship, for the undeveloped/natural portions of parks. Maintenance costs are assessed for the entire site, reflecting the need to maintain both developed facilities and natural areas. These costs are differentiated for six park types. In general, project costs are higher in parks with more developed areas and specialized facilities, as well as in small sites with more intensive development and less open space • Citywide Parks: provide major recreation facilities, cultural venues and natural areas that serve as citywide destinations for events, programs and activities, attracting visitors from across the entire city and beyond. • Community Parks: support sports and group gatherings for several neighborhoods or a portion of the city. • Neighborhood Parks: provide close -to -home recreation opportunities. • Pocket Parks: provide greenspace, passive social space, and in some cases a small-scale recreation feature. • Urban Plazas: provide hardscape and greenspace that provide social gathering opportunities in urban and commercial areas. • Special Use Facilities: support stand-alone major recreation facilities not located within a larger park. These facilities are typically fee - based and only open when programmed or reserved for use.
