MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL/PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br />MARCA 10, 1993 <br />slow down. Wehrle pointed out, however, that the City <br />has gotten a good start on its neighborhood and <br />community parks. Parks have been developed to the <br />point where they can be used, although they are not <br />necessarily fully developed. <br />Scalze asked the status of Gervais Mill Park. <br />Wehrle reported that the Park Consultant has indicated <br />that as part of the Watershed project, the park will be <br />left at a point that it will not erode. Wehrle pointed <br />out that Gervais Mill Park is a nice natural area, and <br />even just the development of paths through the park <br />will bring a lot of usage. <br />The City Administrator reported that the Watershed held <br />a pre-construction meeting today for their project. <br />The Watershed has now obtained the necessary permits <br />and it is anticipated that construction will begin in <br />two to four weeks. Construction is anticipated to <br />continue over the summer and into the fall. <br />Wehrle asked if the Public Works Superintendent will <br />oversee the project for the City. <br />The Administrator replied that Public Works, the Park & <br />Recreation Director, Park Consultant as well as he <br />would oversee the project to protect the City~s <br />interests. The Administrator reported that the project <br />may have some impact on the City's Edgerton water main <br />improvement project as well. <br />Hanson asked about the Spooner Park shelter roof <br />replacement item included on the 1993 expenditure <br />listing. Hanson thought the $12,000 budgeted under <br />this item seemed high. <br />Wehrle agreed that the $12,000 may be on the high side <br />and pointed out that the figure is only based on <br />estimates. Wehrle reported that the Commission felt <br />roof replacement was important to protect the <br />substructure from deterioration. Wehrle also pointed <br />out that the Lions Club donated the funding for the <br />original construction of the shelter, and the <br />Commission is planning to approach that group to <br />determine if they are interested in funding the roof <br />replacement. <br />Page 2 <br />
