One of the <br />most important objectives in the Strategic Plan was to complete a needs assessment study <br />that would allow us to review demographic and recreation trend information and identify <br />locations for additional parks and community recreational facilities within Redwood City <br />based on that data. The subject agreement is for the creation of that needs assessment. <br /> <br />A selection committee of Park and Recreation Commissioners and staff found MIG's <br />proposal to be responsive within the project funds available and recommended that staff <br />negotiate an agreement. The agreement requires MIG to assemble data developed by <br />staff, facilitate community input orr the needs-of Redwood City; identify community and <br />industry trends, develop criteria that will be used for addressing underserved areas of <br />Redwood City, developing criteria to be used in determining the location of potential new <br />parks and community recreational facilities, and develop costs and funding sources for the <br />future. The project is anticipated to be complete within 9 months. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Council could direct staff to not proceed with the- needs assessment at this time. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Funding for this agreement is appropriated in the FY 05-06 Capital Improvement Program. <br /> <br /> <br />aver <br />Park , Recreation and <br />Community Services Superintendent <br /> <br />\. ;1--~ <br /> <br />Corinne Centeno <br />Parks, Recreation and <br />Community Services Director <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment A - Scope of Services <br />Note: Full copy of agreement available in City Clerk's Office <br />
