RE: Capital Improvement Plan Review
Background Information
The City of Otsego follows a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to lay out a clear and transparent
road map of the year and funding for Parks and Recreation projects. The specific funds that
relate to Parks and Recreation are Trail Management (Fund 202) and Parks Capital Equipment
(Fund 205), which are funded through the general tax levy. Park Development (Fund 203) is
funded through park dedication.
Staff will have an informative presentation of the DRAFT CIP at the meeting. The discussion will
be focused on upcoming projects in 2026 and beyond. The proposed projects identified for
2026 pending council approval are:
• Annual Trail Maintenance and Renewal based on ratings (Trails throughout the City)
(Fund 202)
• Lily Pond Park Renovation (Fund 205)
• River Landing (probable parkland purchase) (Fund 203)
• Prairie Park Phase 1 Planning (Fund 203)
• Prairie Pointe Wetland Bridge (Fund 203)
• Lefebvre Creek Greenway Spur (Fund 203)
Requested Commission Action
Staff requests the Parks and Recreation Commission participate in discussion after the
presentation and provide feedback on the Parks and Trails CIP.
