RECOMMENDATION Authorize the Town Manager to execute a professional design services agreement with Callander Associates in an amount not to exceed $62,489. BACKGROUND In 2008, the County of Santa Clara purchased 13 acres of land from the Town of Los Gatos for $6 million. The land previously owned by the Town is completely surrounded by Vasona Lake County Park and was considered unusable for active recreational purposes. The $6 million proceeds from the land sale plus all accrued interest were placed in a reserve fund specifically for community and youth sports facilities. In 2009, just over $3 million from this fund was used to purchase a site located at 930 University Avenue. This site, the former home of a Verizon Corporation Yard, located immediately north of Vasona Lake County Park and adjacent to Los Gatos Creek, has been identified by the Town as the site of a future youth and community sports and recreation facility. In June of 2010, Council adopted a set of guiding principles to be used in the Master Planning for this new facility. The adopted FY 2010/11 - 201415 Capital Improvement Program budget designates funding in the amount of $300,000 for this project, which includes engineering and design services.
