PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT MONTHLY REPORT DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT APRIL 1977 Redwood Shores Park Development The construction work at Dolphin Parks I , II , and III and for the first phase of Marlin II Park came to a stand still in April as a result of the contractor ' s failure to meet the terms and obligations of the con - tract . Action has been initiated with the bonding company to take over the job and complete the work . In the meantime , no progress is being made at the park sites . Upon completion of the legal aspects of this situation , every effort will be made to expedite the completion of the work with the new con- tractors assigned by the bonding company . Mezes Park The completion of Mezes Park has also reached a stand still in that the same contractor that was working at Redwood Shores was also working at Mezes Park . The bonding company will be assigning new contractors for this work after which time the work will be expedited to completion . Canyon Park The construction drawings for the first phase of Canyon Park are now complete and are being reviewed for final plan check . Construction estimates have been prepared , however , it has been determined that the project will be delayed as a result of drought conditions . The mandatory constraints resultant from the drought which prohibit new irrigation connections as well as any new landscaping prohibits ini - tiating the work for the first phase of development for the park . Upon considering the Proposed Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 1977 -78 , it was suggested that funds from the 1976 State Park Bond Act which are useable by the City , should be earmarked for the future construction of Canyon Park when drought conditions will allow . It is felt this will assure the construction of the park at the appro- priate time . -7 -
