City Manager Johnson reminded the Commissioners that a couple of years ago, they authorized submittal of an application for Land and Water Conservation Fund monies for development of Rose Park, including a disc golf course. That application was not successful, and the application is now being renewed and updated in preparation for resubmittal, including an increase in the estimated total cost of the project to $200,000. He noted that when the previous application was approved, the City bUdgeted $75,000 in Park Improvement Funds for this project; and the project has been carried forward in the Capital Improvement Program since that time, although the monies previously budgeted for it were expended on other projects. He suggested that $75,000 from the Fiscal Year 2004-2005 Park Improvement Funds could be obligated for this project, noting that the remaining $25,000 of the SO/50 local match is to be from donations, a portion of which may be in in-kind services. Commissioner Youngman noted that the disc golf group sought monies from this year's Park Improvement Funds, but the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board did not select it as one of the projects to be funded. She then expressed concern about the continued playing of disc golf in Lindley Park and the damage it is causing. She suggested that the disc golfers be challenged in a manner similar to the challenge that was made to the skateboarders a few years ago, to encourage them to find a more appropriate location for their sport.
