With more than $2 million for the city to spend, Campbell residents could soon see upgrades to some city parks, the aquatic center and maybe even some new parks.

At its Feb. 21 meeting, the city council approved the parks and recreation commission’s recommendation from city staff to earmark roughly $2.12 million for future improvements to John D. Morgan Park, Virginia Park and the aquatic facility, and for acquiring new land for parks within the city.

The money for the projects comes from park impact fees, recreation and community services director Regina Maurantonio told the council. Fees are paid by residential developers in lieu of designing and constructing open space areas. By law, those fees can only be used to acquire land for new parks, develop a park or recreation amenity or rehabilitate existing parks or recreational facilities, according to the city staff report.

The parks and recreation commission recommended allocating $547,000 to possibly renovate play areas on the Rincon Avenue side of John D. Morgan Park that are suffering wear and tear.

The council voted to allocate $270,000 to rehabilitate Virginia Park. The park’s toddler and school-age play structures will be considered for replacement.

Another $250,000 will go toward designing an update to the aquatic facility. The city is undergoing an audit of the aquatic facility located in the Campbell Community Center. The audit will study to what degree the facility is used, how many people visit, what needs repair and the cost to make repairs to any part of the facility, including locker rooms, storage and the pool, according to city staff.

The council will review the results of the audit in May, according to Maurantonio. A design for improvements to the aquatic facility is dependent on audit findings.

The remaining $1.1 million is being set aside to acquire land to develop future parks and open space areas.

The funding recommendations were based on the city’s park asset management report, which details the condition of parks and recreation areas within the city. The report was done in October 2015 by the city, and it highlighted many of the play area structures that were more than than 15 years old and in an “unacceptable” condition.

“We were really focused on kind of revisiting the play areas that are not only aging and coming to the end of their use life, but also expanding the play value,” Todd Capurso, public works director, told the council.

The funding approval means the projects will be incorporated into a five-year capital improvement plan that will span 2017-2022.

But before any project begins, each one will be analyzed, reviewed and approved by the council. Community input will also be part of the development of the recommended projects, Maurantonio said.

An additional $105,957 in funding remains. City staff suggested the funds be set aside in case the council wants to make any changes to the projects for the next five fiscal years.
