Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Deer Park Community Development Corporation (DPCDC) Budget for the installation of Pickleball Courts.
Body
Summary:
The City of Deer Park and Deer Park ISD have been working together on a joint project to turn a portion of DPISD property into a park. Property is located just south of the Deer Park HS Girls Softball stadium on the greenspace where the old San Jacinto Elementary playground once stood. Discussions continue for the development of the property as a whole, but the first suggested phase is to develop outdoor pickleball courts to address a growing public need. As such, the City has been working with T.F.Harper and Associates through a proposed design build construction delivery method in order to develop a concept and scope of work for the project.
The Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget for the Deer Park Community Development Corporation (DPCDC) includes $500,000.00 in funding for this project. The proposal received by T.F. Harper came in higher than anticipated at $624,127.01. To fully fund this project and addressed the growing need for pickleball courts in the City, a budget amendment in the amount of $125,000.00 is necessary.
A special called DPCDC meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 16, 2024. At that time, the board will discuss and authorize the proposed budget amendment to go before City Council for adoption.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Increase the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget for DPCDC by $125,000.00 (850-432-49030, Improvements Other Than Buildings) to be funded by the unassigned fund balance of the DPCDC, which is available for this purpose.
Recommended action
Approve the ordinance amending the Fiscal Year 2024-2025 DPCDC Budget.
