<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5-1 <br /> <br />Pleasanton Parks and Recreation Master Plan <br />Section Five – Funding and Implementation Recommendations <br />2014 <br /> <br />5.0 FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> <br />There are two major types of cost centers that require <br />funding in order to implement the Master Plan. One is for <br />capital costs which include: acquisition and development <br />of new required park lands and facilities and renovation of <br />existing park and school land. The second is the ongoing <br />cost of maintaining and operating these facilities. <br /> <br />Currently, funding for capital improvements/ additions to <br />park and recreation facilities in the City of Pleasanton <br />comes from several sources. Fees on new development <br />(development impact fees and developer special <br />agreements) are a major source of funding to provide <br />parks and recreation facilities for the residents of newly <br />developing areas of the City. Other recent sources of <br />funding include grant funds (including Community <br />Development Block Grants), regional bond measures <br />(Measure WW) and contributions from the City’s general <br />fund reserves. <br /> <br />Funding for maintenance and operation of Pleasanton’s <br />park and recreation facilities and programs are currently <br />provided by user fees for recreation programs and facility <br />use, and the City’s General Fund. <br /> <br />5.1 Funding Sources <br /> <br />The following listing of funding sources have been categorized according to the appropriate application <br />of the funding they provide ‐ Capital Funding, Operation and Maintenance or a combination of both. <br />These explanations of funding options are provided to give definition to alternative funding programs <br />which the City may elect to employ. These sources will be evaluated and applicable sources will be <br />matched to the specific projects which are recommended in this Park and Recreation Master Plan. <br /> <br />Capital Funding Programs <br />1. Non‐Profit Foundation ‐ such as a 501(c) (3). This would provide a vehicle for a capital fund <br />drive and a means to build community support. There should be well defined facilities and <br />specific costs to be funded. The foundation acts as a conduit for receiving private donations <br />from entities that might otherwise be reluctant to donate to a City. In addition, the donor can <br />receive tax benefits. The City can use the foundation to solicit private foundations, corporations <br />and other businesses, local organizations and individuals (gifts, bequests, trust funds, etc.). The <br />foundation also provides an organization that can partner with other non‐profits (such as <br />churches, service clubs and organizations) as well as private companies to jointly develop park <br />and recreation facilities. <br /> <br />Highlights <br /> There are two cost centers for <br />funding: capital costs, operations <br />and maintenance costs <br /> Funding sources depend on the <br />improvements and the facility type <br /> It is strongly recommended that the <br />City examine the current fee <br />structure and make adjustments so <br />that the fees collected are in line <br />with the costs of maintenance and <br />operation of the facilities or <br />programs for which the fees are <br />levied <br /> The cost for all proposed facility <br />improvements with contingencies <br />equates to approximately $94 <br />million <br />
