Kyle Smith, principal planner for Placer County Parks, Trails and Open Space, asked the commission to recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve a request from the City of Lincoln for $274,423 in park dedication fees from Recreation Area Number 6 to fund Phase 1 of a skatepark at Lincoln Community Center Park.

"The action before you is to recommend the county board of supervisors approve a request from the city of Lincoln for park dedication fees from Recreation Area Number 6, Lincoln area, in the amount of $274,423 for the construction of a skate park feature at Community Center Park in Lincoln," Smith said during his presentation, which described the four‑acre site adjacent to the community center and the community outreach and partnership that informed the design.

Assistant City Manager Nita Racker confirmed the park is city property and said the city will own and maintain the facility, including future phases and any expanded lighting. "This is a city park. And so once the we own it now. We are responsible for the maintenance, the upkeep, the further phases," Racker said, noting the city has never previously received these funds and this would be its first request from the county program.

Commissioners asked whether the request would deplete the Lincoln fee area. Smith said the September fund report shows an uncommitted balance of $10,514 after the proposed allocation, and that staff does not expect the authorization to hinder other planned projects such as Hidden Falls because county staff pursue grants and other funding sources.

After public comment was called for (none was offered), a commissioner moved to recommend approval of the request and Smith seconded. The commission then took a roll‑call vote and approved the recommendation with no nays recorded.

The commission’s action is advisory; final approval of the appropriation rests with the Placer County Board of Supervisors.
