The funds are for <br />the development of neighborhood, community, and regional parks and recreation lands and <br />facilities. After completing a park needs assessment with public input, the City developed a <br />ranked list of City parks improvements projects for City Council funding consideration through <br />the Measure WW grant. In the 2010-2011 fiscal year budget, nine projects, including the <br />Marina Park Irrigation Project, were approved as part of the Capital Improvement Program <br />budget. <br />The current irrigation system at Marina Park was installed in the 1960's and has reached the <br />end of its useful life. This project will replace the irrigation system in its entirety, including <br />irrigation lines and sprinkler heads. Water pressure will be increased with the installation of <br />booster pumps. An enhanced irrigation control system will monitor weather information and <br />adjust the irrigation accordingly and will alert maintenance personnel of problems or leaks to <br />optimize water usage and conserve resources. The controllers will be installed to operate <br />remotely from central software that will be installed at the Public Works service center. In <br />addition, hose connections will be installed throughout Marina Park so that it will be easier for <br />staff to wash down picnic areas. <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 10/9/2012 <br />
