AGENDA ITEM October 15, 1975
TO: James S. Mocalis, City Manager
FROM: W. D. Murphy, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Approval of Plans and Specifications for the
Revised Plans for E1 Camino Real Park
SITUATION:
At the City Council meeting of October 1, following public testimony,
the Council directed Staff to re-study the park facilities. During
this meeting direction was given to investigate alternate locations
for the picnic and restroom facilities . Further direction was given
to review the need for the small amphitheatre. This office, in
cooperation with the Planning Department, has revised the plans which
are available in the office of the City Engineer and will also be
available at the Council meeting.
The major changes to the design are the northerly relocation of the
picnic and restroom facilities , and reduction in scale of the amphi-
theatre . Since concerns were expressed with regard to the landscaping,
additional trees are proposed in certain areas .
At the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting of October 13, the
plans and specifications will be presented for their review and com-
ments . Their comments will be presented by an oral report to the City
Council meeting of October 15.
As of this date we have not obtained a specific answer from either
the County or State with regard to their funding approval should
certain facilities be deleted from the park design.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
$150,000 has been allocated in the fiscal year 1975-76 budget which
includes the $50,000 County participation and $50,000 State partici-
pation.

the restroom structure to a locked facility.
