that the Park Land Purchase and Development is estimated to be $12 million to $16
million depending upon the park amenities.

costs, maintenance /annual costs, and park design and scoping meetings.

a contingency of approximately $1 million. He indicated that the employee benefits
fund is $650,000 and includes retirees' health liability, accrued leave liability (vested),
and unfunded Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). He discouraged the use
of vested benefits.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 12, 2011
Mayor Mills asked about turf maintenance and the possible use of artificial turf.
The Public Works Director responded that artificial turf was not taken into consideration.
He stated that there would be an initial savings, however, there would still be ongoing
maintenance costs.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services informed
of the revenue bonding capacity and that with a new park there would be a need to cut
current operations plus the added maintenance by 33 %. He indicated that there would
also be a need for $1.6 million in bond reserve revenues.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services stated that
without operational costs or approval of a General Obligation Bond, there would not be
sufficient funds available in the Cypress Recreation and Park District budget to
purchase the Cypress School District property and develop a new park.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services discussed
property tax allocations and stated that the Cypress Recreation and Park District has
been kept as a separate entity to protect its revenues from being used for other City
purposes. He indicated that funds could be allocated between the City and the Cypress
Recreation and Park District.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services stated that,
should the City Council choose to use general tax funds to purchase park land and
develop, the City General Fund Contingency Reserve and Capital Projects Contingency
Reserve could be used, however, he highly discouraged against using those funds.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services stated that
the infrastructure fund balance is $9 million and that these funds have been used in the
past to fund projects and loans to the Redevelopment Agency for projects. He
indicated that the current balance is designated for funding the current seven -year
Capital Improvement Program.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services stated that
$9 million of general revenue funds that have been transferred to the Storm Drainage
Fund are currently unspent and are appropriated for Pump Station #3 and both
detention /storage improvements for Pump Stations #2 and #3. He indicated that these
funds could be reallocated back to the Infrastructure Fund for other general funded
activity if these improvements are defunded.
The Public Works Director stated that a storage box is needed for the optimal level of
operation of Pump Station #2 and stressed the timeliness for the City Council to
determine whether or not staff should move forward with the pump station
improvements, otherwise, the funds will be spent on the project and not available for
land purchase.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services stated that
the business park growth had allowed for the City to accumulate funds and that may no
longer be the case in the future.
Council Member Bailey spoke of possible financial options with the Cypress School
District such as installment sales or shared agreement and commented that the City
should maintain the leeway to buy a park and have options while still maintaining its
integrity. He stated that he is confident in staffs abilities and that staff could put
together a park purchase if necessary.
Mayor Pro Tem Seymore stated that the City should keep its options open and take into
consideration the fact that the Cypress School District has not yet made a decision on
the surplus property. He commented on the restrictions of the Naylor Act and
consideration for the purchase of parts of Cypress School District properties.
Council Member Narain stated that the community has expressed that open space is
important, and he feels that the completion of Pump Station #2 is significant. He stated
that financing options could be considered.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES DECEMBER 12, 2011
Council Member Luebben commented that there is no urgency to make a decision at
this time and that he is in no hurry to make major changes.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services
commented that staff is trying to determine direction from the City Council on whether
or not to continue with the pump station project, the storm drain /pump station, or stop
the Pump Station #3 project.
Council Member Narain stated that Pump Station #2 should be completed.
The Public Works Director indicated that money would be available if Pump Station #3
is delayed.
Council Member Luebben stated that he does not want to make a change in the
direction of the infrastructure program that would remove or delay a project or projects
that would otherwise provide a benefit to the entire community.
Mayor Mills commented that the workshop presentation has been geared towards cash
purchase.
The Assistant City Manager /Director of Finance and Administrative Services replied that
a park land lease /installment purchase would also impact the City's infrastructure and
operations.
The City Manager informed that the Cypress School District has continued making a
decision until January 2012 and that the Cypress School District offices may be
relocated to the Damron Elementary School site.
Council Member Bailey commented that the City should meet with the Cypress School
District.
The City Manager indicated that in January 2012 an amendment to the Capital
Improvement Projects would be necessary should the City Council wish to consider a
change in direction for the pump station projects.
