The funds are for <br />the development of neighborhood, community and regional parks and recreation lands and <br />facilities. After completing a community process, the City developed a ranked list of City park <br />improvement projects for the City Council to consider funding with the Measure WW funds. In <br />the 2010-2011 fiscal year budget, nine projects, including the Stenzel Park Drainage Project, <br />were approved as part of the Capital Improvement Program. <br />Analysis <br />The northwest portion of the ball field at Stenzel Park was identified by Staff as an area of <br />ponding water. This is an ongoing issue, recurring each winter, which affects the usability of <br />the field and creates maintenance problems. <br />This project will remove sections of turf and the upper layer of soil in the ponding area. An <br />underground drainage system will be installed to increase the field’s tolerance for water . The <br />surface will be repaired with new top soil and sod. <br />Previous Actions <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 5/29/2013
