1 FTE increase for a Parks Capital Improvement Program Project Manager. This position,
and associated program costs, is funded outside of the General Fund through various
sources such as the KC Parks Levy, REET 1, Park Impact Fee, and grants. Creation of the
position allows for bringing this work in-house at a significant savings from contracting this
work out and allows for better coordination of process. Parks CIP includes projects that
are of a scale and complexity that require advanced planning, multiple stages of
environmental review, permitting, design, and construction administration. Continuation
of this project position is contingent on available and allowable non -General Fund
resources. The position will be reduced or eliminated should funding decline or not be
sufficient to support the position.
