Gervais Mill Entrance - Upgrade and enhance the Gervais Mill Park Entrance (Noel <br />Street side). The Commission recommended a preliminary design in 2019, and it was bid <br />in 2020. Due to the high cost of the bid, the project was moved to 2021. The project has <br />increased from $51,750 to $110,000. <br />Spooner Park Lower Shelter – $75,000 for a new larger open-air shelter for rental to <br />better serve the needs of the community. <br />Interpretive Signage – Add interpretive signage and wayfinding signage at each park <br />throughout the park system. The signs will highlight the area that park users are in and <br />give an overall view of the park system. This will give exposure to underutilized parks. It <br />will also allow people new to the area to be made aware of other park offerings within the <br />City. The anticipated price for design, materials, and installation is $20,000. This project <br />was moved from 2020 to 2021. <br />Entrance signs at all parks – New minimum maintenance park entrance signs to replace <br />the existing deteriorating signs for $33,250. <br />Consultant – $30,000 is included for a consultant for the Pioneer Park Master Planning <br />process. Once the Pioneer Park Master Planning process is complete, park projects <br />beyond 2021 may need to be postponed to concentrate on the Pioneer Park <br />improvements. <br />General park maintenance projects scheduled for 2021 include: <br />Trail repair and maintenance at Pioneer Park <br />New woodchips at the Nadeau Park playground <br />Continued work on buckthorn removal and general tree trimming primarily at Spooner <br />Park but other parks as needed <br />Continued work on habitat restoration at Thunder Bay/Westwind Park following the Xcel <br />clear cutting from 2018 <br />Looking past 2021, some highlights of upcoming projects are: <br />Boardwalk in Gervais Mill Park <br />Boardwalk/Pier at Nadeau Wildlife Park <br />Upgrade Band Shell at Spooner Park <br />Pioneer Park Playground equipment (transfer from Park Land Acquisition Fund 456) <br />Picnic shelter at Rondeau Park <br />Fitness Equipment in a Park (contingent on grant funding) <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Commission discuss and provide feedback on the 2021-2025 Capital <br />Improvement Plan (CIP).
