  Title:              Transferring Capital Funds from City/County fund (P-00834) for
                      renovations to Washington Park Pool - $350,000 (2nd reading)


Background
The City of Charlottesville, through Parks and Recreation, has funding budgeted to install synthetic
turf and lights on four (4) rectangular athletic fields at Darden Towe Park in FY’20 (P-00834) in the
amount of $923,963. This Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a joint project fund between the City
and the County, and the County has not approved this project and recent deliberation confirms they
are not moving forward as originally planned. Staff would like to reallocate funds to resurface the
Washington Park Pool shell and all the pool amenities, including shade structures and mirror
renovation. If approved, $350,000.00 will be appropriated into the lump sum account P-00834.

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

P-00834        City/County CIP Fund          $350,000.00

Alignment with City Council's Vision and Strategic Plan

Plan: Be a safe, equitable, thriving and beautiful community, and objective 2.5, to provide natural and
historical resources stewardship.; 5.2. Build collaborative partnerships; 5.3. Promote community
engagement.

Community Engagement
