REQUEST: The Health & Environment outcome supports planned Capital Improvement Program (CIP) spending of $223.1 million for FY 2021-22.

• Parks and Recreation ranks second with $19.0 million in planned spending in aquatics, parks, trails, and facility improvements. Major projects for Parks and Recreation include the Seaholm Intake Facility Rehabilitation, Givens District Park Vision Plan Implementation, and Pharr Tennis Center Renovation. Please detail any other projects that would be involved in PARD planned spending and provide a spending breakdown by Council district.

• Watershed Protection, with planned capital spending of $16.5 million for the Health & Environment strategic outcome, is focusing on system-wide improvements related to drainage, erosion control, flood control, and water quality protection. Please expand on these improvements and where they will be located.

RESPONSE:

Parks and Recreation Department (PARD): The FY 2021-22 PARD CIP planned spending for the Health and Environment strategic outcome comprises 58% of PARD’s total planned CIP spending of $32.5 million. This planned spending does not include projects fully funded by partner organizations or land acquisitions, and two partner projects scheduled to be completed in FY 2021-22 are located in Council District 2: the Armadillo Neighborhood Park Nature Play Development and Kendra Page Neighborhood Park Nature Play and Trail Development. Additionally, due to the unknown timing of purchases, PARD does not program out a spending plan for parkland acquisitions, which has totaled $13.0 million to date in FY 2020-21.

The following table shows PARD’s FY 2021-22 planned Health & Environment CIP spending by Council District.
