Pioneer Park – install new drinking fountain near tennis courts – $23,000 Other items to be considered:  Gervais Mill Park Drinking Fountain – $10,000  Noel Drive Sidewalk – City Hall Lot to Gervais Trail – ??  Waterworks, Sextant, and Sunset Court Trail Loop – $230,000  Reforestation for All Parks – $25,000 per year  Purchase of Sculley Property for Nature Area - $275,000  Other??? As you know, a number of the items have been delayed pending the completion of the Parks Master Plan. The Council also approved a transfer from the General Fund to the General Capital Improvement Fund of $496,472. With this influx of cash plus the receipt of Local Government Aid expected to be at least $243,000, this fund is in a much better position going forward when compared to last year. However, there are many needs on a city-wide basis that will be competing for these funds in an overall funding priority. At Wednesday’s meeting, we can take another look at the prioritization and modify the listing as you deem appropriate.
