CURRENT INVENTORY OF CURRENT PARKS
�./ Acreage Inventory includes general turf, trees, shrub areas, walkways, park trails, and athletic
fields.
Gross Acreage of current City owned Parks is 47.3 acres
New Park locations with development in progress for FY 2003-2004 (some open of these areas
are be maintained as open areas) Canonball Estates, Rivers Edge, Sunflower, Fox Hills, The
Highlands. Windett Ridge, Heartland Circle, Country Hills, Kylyns Ridge, West Hydraulic - 67.2
acres
In addition to the park areas there is approximately 5 additional acres that Parks Department
maintains with turf care and general outside maintenance (City Hall, Library, Public works, etc)
TOTAL ACREAGES 119.5
Additionally to the gross acreage of City maintained areas the following is the current inventory
of athletic fields, playgrounds and park amenities.

SUMMARY
u In order to maintain the current level of parks, open areas, and overall maintenance, we need
to define the expense associated with maintaining per acre of property. Following is based on
2003-2004 fiscal budget for Parks.
Salaries (Full time, Part time, Overtime and benefits) $252,639
Current For FY 03-04/4 full time and 4 part time
Contractual $ 7,500
Sub total $260,139
TOTAL ACREAGES 119.5 = $2,176.90 per acre
General Equipment $ 6,750
TOTAL ACREAGES 119.5 = $56.49 per acre
Capital Expenses for repair, and replacements $ 77,450
TOTAL ACREAGES 119.5 = $648.12 per acre
Infra-structure & Operational supplies $ 55,150
TOTAL ACREAGES 119.5 = 461.50 per acre
In using the break downs above, a conclusion could be drawn for every 15-20 acres of new
park development would require a new full time staff/ maintenance level 1, and an additional
$1000 in general equipment, $10,000 in Capital Equipment, and $6,500 in operational supplies
The variable for this summary will be the impact of specialty equipment and replacement
equipment
An example of impact with new would be as follows:
MPI
Neighborhood Parks 76.1 acres
Regional Park 56.0 acres
TOTAL 132.1
The annual impact for this new development would be 6.6 additional staff(4 full time and 4 part
time) $7,457 for general equipment, $85,552 for Capital Equipment, $60,918 for Operational
and infra-structure supplies.
