analysis of the City's parks, recreational facilities, and programs. The information was presented at a joint workshop of the City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission on February 24, 2014. The plan was modified in some areas based upon feedback received at the February meeting, and the final Master Plan was approved by the City Council in June 2014. 2014 Parks and Recreation Master Plan Recommendations The Parks and Recreation Master Plan's summary of findings identified a few current and future parks and recreation facility deficiencies. They included the following needs: a Community Center; two off-leash dog parks; a skateboard park; a lighted baseball field; a recreational swimming pool; lighted, synthetic turf multi-purpose sport fields; and six lighted tennis courts. Along with identifying these items, the Parks and Recreation Master Plan also identified possible locations for each needed facility. One of the recommendations was to follow the 1985 and 1995 Tennis and Community Park Master Plan and construct the two final tennis courts as planned. 2015 Capital Improvement Project Budget Includes Funds for Two Tennis Courts In 2015, the City Council adopted their two year work plan and CIP budget which included; the implementation of the initial/administration phase of the Pioneer Cemetery's Master Plan; the final design and construction of the off-leash dog park on the Bernal Property; tree planting along the Marilyn Murphy Kane Trail; the construction of Phase II of the Bernal Community Park; the master plan process of the Civic Center/Library/Community Center; and the construction of the two lighted tennis courts at the Tennis and Community Park. 2016 Design.

Four landscape architectural firms (along with their assembled subconsultant teams) submitted their Statement of Qualifications (SOQs). Callander Associates Landscape Architecture, Inc. was chosen as the most qualified consultant and City Council approved their contract on March 4, 2016. Plans and specifications for the courts were completed and on May 25, 2016 the Two New Lighted Tennis Courts at the Tennis and Community Park project was advertised for construction bid, with bids due on June 13, 2016. On June 21, 2016 City Council accepted staff's recommendation and awarded the construction contract to Goodland Landscape in the low bid amount of $494,353. Recent Activities After completing all required contract paperwork and assembling a schedule to purchase and receive equipment and material, along with the field construction schedule, it was determined that the actual field work would start on July 25, 2016. Consequently, on July 19, City Engineering staff mailed construction notices to all residences within 500- feet of the Tennis and Community Park. These notices were designed to inform residents of the construction activities and provide contact information in case residents had Page 3 of 8
