courts, four volleyball courts (two sand, two grass), a parking lot for 46 vehicles, a temporary enclosure housing a rental modular for program administration, portable rest rooms, a temporary children's play area, pathways, and landscaping. At the time Phase I was constructed, it was planned to proceed with Phases II and III within two years. However, the project was delayed until adequate funding was available and higher priorities were met. Pleasanton Tennis and Community Park is now funded for completion. A total of $2,426,991 is available for this project: $1,388,491 in Fiscal Year 94/95, $500,000 in Fiscal Year 95/96, and $538,500 in Fiscal Year 96/97. As noted earlier, previously the project was scheduled to be completed in two phases. Phase II included just the administration building. Phase II has now been combined with Phase III, and the combined project will be referred to as Phase III. Through a competitive selection process, which included an interview panel comprised of staff and Park and Recreation Commissioners, the firm of Singer and Hodges, Inc. was selected as the project design consultant. ORIGINAL MASTER PLAN The original Master Plan, prepared by Heacox, Crutcher and Associates, attempted to address City-wide unmet needs and the desire of residents for family oriented recreation. The resulting Master Plan provided specialized recreation facilities for programmed and spontaneous activities. The following activities were included in the Master Plan: handball, volleyball, golf practice cage and putting green, basketball court, large children's play area, 12 tennis courts which included a feature court, and an informal picnic/barbecue area. The Master Plan also included three buildings: an administration facility, a separate rest room, and a small storage facility. Of particular importance, the Master Plan recognized the unique location of the park and attempted to provide a creative landmark that would have a positive effect on the perceived image of the City. REVIEW OF MASTER PLAN The Master Plan for this project was completed 10 years ago prior to the development o£ much of the ~urrounding residential area. As with any Master Plan developed years ago, prior to proceeding with the project, it is customary to review the Master Plan to see if it is still appropriate for the site and the program still valid. An initial public workshop was held December 14, 1994. The surrounding neighborhood, those who had served on the development of the original Master Plan, the tennis community, and the general public were invited to attend to provide input.
