Action Required:        Approval of Resolution

Presenter:              Chris Gensic, Parks and Recreation

Title:                  Capital Funding Transfer for the Market Street Retaining Wall project -
                        $223,450



Background:

The City of Charlottesville, through Parks and Recreation, has funding budgeted to repair or replace the
retaining wall at Market Street Park. Given that the entire park may be up for redesign and
reconstruction, the wall at Market Street Park is not in a hazardous condition, and that the Maplewood
cemetery wall is in need of major repair to correct hazardous conditions, the Department would like to
allocate the remaining funds to the City Cemetery Restoration project/CIP account. If approved,
$223,450.00 will be appropriated into the City Cemetery Restoration account P-00718

Discussion:

The Parks and Recreation CIP project has remaining project balance, and no additional expenditure:

P-00768                Market Street Park Retaining Wall                              $223,450

After the funds are transferred to the new project account, the above CIP accounts will be closed.

The City Cemetery Restoration project with a CIP account balance of $23,038.50 is in need of
additional funding to meet the cost estimate of over $200,000 and get the project to bid. Once the
project is complete, this CIP account will also be closed out.

Community Engagement:

The City Cemetery Restoration project is a restoration project of a historical city cemetery.

Alignment with City Council’s Vision and Strategic Plan:

Construction of this project will further council goals of having a beautiful and sustainable natural and
built environment by protecting historic and cultural resources
Budgetary Impact:

No new funding is being appropriated. All funds will be transferred from funding previously
appropriated in the Capital Improvement Program Fund.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends appropriation of funds.

Alternatives:

If grants funds are not appropriated, Parks and Recreation will have to find other CIP funds to complete
the City Cemetery Restoration project.
