BACKGROUND On March 2, 2009, the City received notice from the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) of its eligibility for $3,740,998 in Measure WW Park Bond funds. The funds are for the development of neighborhood, community, and regional parks and recreation lands and facilities. After completing a community process, the City developed a ranked list of City park improvements projects for Council funding consideration through the Measure WW grant. In the 2010 -2011 fiscal year budget, nine projects including the Marina Park Irrigation Project was approved as part of the Capital Improvement Program. Analysis The current irrigation system at Marina Park was installed in the 1960's and has served its useful life. This project will replace the irrigation system in its entirety including irrigation lines and sprinkler heads. Water pressure will be increased with the installation of booster pumps. An enhanced irrigation control system will monitor weather information and adjust the irrigation accordingly and will alert maintenance personnel of problems or leaks to optimize water usage and conserve resources. The controllers can be operated remotely from central software that will be installed at the Public Works service center. Hose connections will be installed at picnic areas for maintenance cleaning.
