District staff is working with regulatory agencies, consultants (RRM Design Group and First Carbon Solutions), and City of Thousand Oaks staff to develop a package suitable for bidding and construction of the major portions of the project (i.e. off-site street and signal improvements, parking lots, restrooms, bridges, neighborhood park, etc.). Staff estimates to begin construction of the major portions of the project in the Summer of 2017. Between now and the Summer of 2017, District staff will work with groups (i.e. Thousand Oaks Soaring Society, Conejo Disc Golf Club, etc.) and volunteers, as well as outsourcing, to provide labor and materials for portions of the project that do not need to be included in the bidding (i.e. trail maintenance/construction, fencing, directional and educational signage, clear) up, etc.). Staff continually evaluates the level of work required by the Parks and Planning Division, and thus, proposes the creation of a Grounds Worker III position that would be primarily assigned to Sapwi Trails Community Park. This position will greatly enhance the development of the park and the effectiveness of ongoing maintenance and operations post development. This position will be differentiated from the current Grounds Worker II position, with additional responsibilities of ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES 403 West Hillcrest Drive • Thousand Oaks, CA 91360-4223 (805) 495-6471 • FAX: (805) 497-3199 • Email: parks@crpd.org • Website: www.crpd.org
