MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />June 5, 2008 <br />DATE as it currently is scheduled for July 3 and many might not be able to attend because of <br />the holiday weekend. Fahey made a motion to change the date for the July meeting to <br />Tuesday, July 8`~', at 7:30 p.m., seconded by Neis. Motion carried 7-0. <br />OLD Sanders reported that there will be a meeting with the contractor, Bailey Construction, <br />BUSINESS- within the next week as the paperwork has been completed, such as the contract, insurance, <br />SKATEBOARD and bonds. Davis asked when work would begin. Sanders expects it to start the middle of <br />PARK June, completed by the first part of August. The contractor has until September 1 to complete <br />the project. Davis stated that the initial projected completion date of mid summer was very <br />optimistic. Morelan will be ordering the equipment for the park and it is expected to take <br />six to eight weeks for equipment to arrive. Fahey believed that Jim Morelan was acquiring <br />additional bids from equipment manufacturers other than the one we have seen. <br />LIGHTING Sanders stated that the low bid for this lighting project was Killmer Electric at $65,900.00. <br />PROJECTS The project is for replacement lighting for the Old Fire Hall hockey rink and the Spooner <br />Park tennis courts. The contract, insurance and bond papers have been received from this <br />contractor also. He is hopeful that there will be a meeting with Killmer Electric within the <br />next week. <br />Neis asked if the City Council had approved these bids. Sanders responded that they have <br />approved both bids for the skateboard park concrete and lighting contractors. <br />RECON- Sanders reported that there have been discussions with St. John's Church for relocation <br />FIGURATION of the pleasure rink as well as future Water Works Trail land. A report on this topic will be <br />OF OFH RINK from Morelan and he was not in attendance to give that progress report. <br />PRIORITY Davis stated she was uncomfortable with the priority ranking of the trail system that was <br />RANKING OF approved at the May meeting. She would like the crossing for the 35E Pedestrian Bridge <br />TRAILS now proposed to cross at Demont Avenue to be closer to Little Canada Road. She would <br />like to see the ranking for the 35E Pedestrian Bridge be lowered on the list from the current <br />position of #7. She also thought that the #12 ranked project, County Road B2, Viking Drive, <br />Demont Avenue connections should be raised in the ranking. Fahey suggested just switching <br />the two projects in the ranking listing. Steinert commented that the ranking list changes every <br />year, so any changes could be made in future years. Sanders suggested moving #7, the <br />35E Pedestrian Bridge, to the #12 position and move #9, #10, #11, #12 all up one position. <br />Steinwall made that motion, seconded by Fahey, motion carried 7-0. <br />The trail project priority listing is now ranked as follows: <br />I .) Country Drive and South Owasso Loop to Waterworks Trail <br />2.) Waterworks Trail -from Little Canada Road to Sextant <br />3.) Little Canada Road - fi•om Centerville Road to Edger•Con Street <br />4.) North/South Connection- Middle School to Troutbrook <br />5.) Sunset Court/Turnquist Wetland Trail to Boardwalk <br />6.)
