DISCUSSION:
Johnson Park, acquired by the City in the late 50's, has received gradual
improvements over the years. The existing hydraulically controlled
irrigation system was installed in the 60's. The system has deteriorated
significantly and undergone numerous modifications over the years. As a
result, it is maintenance intensive and inefficient in its use of water.
The system also has no backflow prevention which is a violation of County
Health Codes.
The new system will allow for easy conversion to the approved irrigation
telemetry system.

The Community Development Department has given this project a categorical
exemption. Utilities' water conservation division is supportive of the
project due to the increased efficiency in water use.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The engineer's estimate for the project is $44, 500. The project is the
top priority phase of the Park Renovations Project listed on pages E-59
and E-21 of the Capital Improvement Plan in the 1991-93 Financial Plan.
$49 , 000 is budgeted for this phase. ,
Plans and specifications are available in the Council Office for inspection.
