FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: August 3, 1999
STAFF: Craig Foreman
SUBJECT:
Resolution 99-98 Authorizing the Mayor to Enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the
State Board of the Great Outdoor Colorado Trust Fund for the Development of a Skate Park at Edora
Park.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the adoption of the Resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Fort Collins has been awarded a grant for$50,000 from The State Board of The Great
Outdoor Colorado Trust Fund to fund the construction of a skate park at Edora Park. The City will
contribute $50,000 in matching funds for the project from Building Community Choices funds,
which are allocated in the 2000 budget. The community and businesses will contribute funding and
410 donated services to the project. Maintenance funds for the facility are budgeted in the 2000 budget
and future budget years.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The development of a skate park at Edora Park will serve youth who like to skateboard or
rollerblade. The design and construction of the facility will include youth that are involved in this
sport, City staff, and consultation with skate park experts.
Skateboarding and rollerblading continue to increase in popularity and the City's existing skate park
at the Northside Aztlan Center is unable to meet this demand. The development of the facility at
Edora Park will provide a safe location for skateboarding activities and alleviate the overcrowding
and over use at the existing facility.
The skate park will be open in the summer of 2000.
