COUNCIL AGEN A REPORT
FROM:
Recreation - Stockton
SUBJECT: Laguna Lake Park Imp ovements
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
By Resolution, Approve Plans and Specifications for
Laguna Lake Park Improvements, City Plan No. N-59Y, Authorize Staff
to Advertise for Bids and Authorize CAO to Award Contract if Bids
Received are Equal to or Lower Than Engineer's Estimate.
BACKGROUND:
Early in 1987, plans and specifications for added improvements to the
neighborhood park section of Laguna Lake Park were completed. This
project was the result of an application for Federal assistance through
the Land and Water Conservation Fund for which the City of San Luis Obispo
received an allocation of $60,001.00. As required by the Land and Water
Conservation Fund program, the plans and specs were submitted to the State
Department of Parks and Recreation for their review and approval . This
approval was received in June 1989. Because of the two+ year lag, the
plans, specs and cost estimates for the project required updating and this
task was completed in late October.
In the development of the 1989-91 Financial Plan, one of the
objectives of the Council 's Work Program was to "Improve and Expand
Playgrounds" in existing City parks. (See page B-16, 1989-1991 Financial
Plan) . Laguna Lake Park was one of the six parks to be improved and due
to the close tie between this Council objective and the proposed park
improvement project, the improvement of Laguna Lake Park playground was
added to the project. State Park Bond Act funds in the amount of $15,000
is available for these improvements.
In addition to the expansion of the playground, the project includes:
Additional parking, expanded multi-use area surrounding the playground, a
large group gathering area for family or daycamp use, volleyball courts,
lake bank stabilization for a windsurfing take-off/landing area and a canoe
launching beach.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve plans and specifications and authorize staff to advertise
for bids. This action will allow advertising procedures and contract
negotiations to be accomplished during the Winter and construction to
begin in early Spring.
2. Do not approve plans at this time, and await development of a
Master Plan of the entire park. This action would keep any development of
Laguna Lake Park in a holding pattern for at least two years and place an
approved Federal Grant and a portion of a State assistance grant in
jeopardy of being revoked.

CITIZEN PARTICIPATION:
The Park and Recreation Commission has devoted a great deal of time
to the question of Laguna Lake Park development. They have studied, in

current users, is consistent with previous Commission recommendations for
total park development and that completion of this project would allow the
future Park Master Plan a foundation area from which to plan the remainder
of the park development.
