masonry wail because this is an area that people see when going to the business park and it should bc nice.

Mr. Wolfe indicated the Park and Recreation Commission recommended that this project not be phased to avoid dual impacts on the neighborhood. The estimated cost is $4.75 million and them is $2.8 million on hand. There are additional funds for an in-line skating facility that can be reallocated to this project and the City anticipates receiving $900,000 from Proposition 12 funds, so there is a shortPall of about one million dollars. There are still negotiations in progress for a contribution from the Dublin San Ramon Services District. It is hoped the funds will be found soon. IfCouncfi approves the master plan at this meeting, it is anticipated a final design will be before Council and construction could start by next spring.
