• MINUTES PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING May 13, 1991, 7:00 p.m. Members Present: Linda McLoon, Steve Schugel, Jyneen Thatcher, Jeff Johnson, Dave Wickhem, Lloyd Jacobson, Carol Kriegler, Parks Director, Sam Jacobs, Council Liaison Members Absent: Mike Farrell, Carol Huso, Deborah Weiland 1. Appointment of Officers Jeff indicated his willingness to continue as Chair. Carol Huso, in absentia, indicated that she was also willing to serve as chair. Since several members were absent, the issue was tabled. 2. Community Park Bldg./Grounds Update Carol K gave a summary of what has gone on. The city council authorized the purchase and installation of kitchen cabinets, a range, refrigerator and dish washer. Hopefully they will be in by the end of the month. The 30 day period for the seeding has elapsed. The ground has been very muddy, preventing seeding. The sodding is not weather contingent and that • was not done. Carol K said they tried but never seemed to coordinate the ground preparation with the seeding efforts. They were told that by next Wed. if it is not done to specs, their contract will be terminated. The city will award the contract to an outside landscaper, hopefully on May 24. The city attorney is submitting this to Jefferson Construction Co. in writing. 3. Idaho/Snelling The ad for bids went out. May 30 is the bid opening for both the building construction co. and the landscaping. Carol K told Scott we needed the most for our money. Scott thought utility hook-ups should be billed directly to the city, since the city is usually charged less than an independent contractor. The building budget can't really be cut. The only add/alternate was a wood shingle roof. Construction will hopefully start mid-June. 4. Playground Equipment We may have the playground co. install it or maybe the general contractor, depending on who would be cheaper. We will send RFPs to three playground companies, listing desired features, with the instruction not to exceed S 16,000. The bid will be in 2 parts, the equipment itself and then the installation. We discussed the plan itself. Design to include: 2 sections (one for older and one for younger kids), 2 spring toys, a fire pole, traditional swings, some type of suspension bridge, 2 diggers, hand-over- hand rings, chin up bar, cargo net, track ride, spiral slide, short double wide slides (for 2 kids at once). Bid requests will be sent to: Landscape Structures, Miracle, Timberform, Iron Mountain Forge.
