Body
ANALYSIS:
The Citrus Splash Zone at Citrus Community Park was built in 2008 in part by the generous donation of the Vasquez Family who own Miguel's Restaurants. The Citrus Splash Zone consists of water features that spray or dump water providing for exciting playability for children ages 2 to 12. All of the water is captured, chemically treated, and re-circulated for future use. The Splash Zone is open from May to September, 7 days a week during the hours of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and receives hundreds of visitors from within the community.
Over the course of the past 10 years, the Citrus Splash Zone's splash pad surfacing has reached its useful course of life. The cost of the project is currently estimated at $60,000. The project will be publicly bided out. The Vasquez Family will contribute towards the project cost up to $51,300; if the bid amount exceeds $51,300, the excess will be covered by Maintenance Service's existing operating and/or CIP budget, through a budget transfer within the same fund.
