Fundina for Mc Vicker Canyon Park. (F:114.12) Councilman Alongi inquired where this funding would be coming from. City PSanager Molendyk e~lained that there is an existing agreement with the developers in Community Facilities District 88-3 to have the park done in April of 1994. With that agreement in place, the District is ready to go out for the Phase 3 funding, however, not in time to meet the time frame for two ball fields and the restroom facility. He explained that to make this timing possible the recommendation would be to utilize $52,800 from CFD 88-3 park f2es; $172,000 from the CFD 88-3 Developer Agreement Account and a loan of $516,000 to CFD 88-3 from the remaining Developer Agreement funds. He advised that ~here is no indication that the CFD 88-3 bonds could not fund the necessary amount in the last issuance. Administrative Services Manager Huffman concurred that this funding should not be a problem. City Manager Molendyk inquired what the impact of Torn Ranch's situation would be on CFD 88-3. Mr. Huffman was uncertain and indicated that he would need to see how much of the District is the Torn Ranch property. Community Services Director Sapp indicateci that it is his understanding that if Torn Ranch goes in to foreclosure, then Centex plans to purchase that tract.

City Manager Molendyk explained that the Developmen~ Agreement Fees are designated for use in the PAGE TWO - CITY COIINCIL MIN[TTE3 ~ JANUARY 6B 1994 Community, and in ~he wors~ case, the dollars would be used for a park.

Public Services Direc~or Tecca indicated that it was his unders~anding fhat Torn Ranch would be removed from fhe District, and when that is done, the balance of the bonds can be sold.
