After <br /> reviewing possible improvement options in December 2004 ranging from $1 <br /> million to $4.133 million, the Council indicated a willingness to consider a <br /> joint funding plan with PUSD to upgrade the fields consistent with other <br /> elementary school sites throughout the City. In May 2005, the PUSD Board <br /> of Trustees authorized the expenditure of up to $500,000 for the <br /> improvements, with the understanding that the City would provide a similar <br /> amount as a joint venture. The District is currently negotiating a consultant <br /> contract with RRM Design Group, the firm originally retained by the City to <br /> develop conceptual designs, to finalize construction drawings for the <br /> proposed improvements. The project would be initiated in a phased <br /> approach, with an anticipated completion date of fall 2007. <br />SR 05:145 <br />Page 1 <br />
