MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />NOVEMBER 19~ 1996 <br />Public Works CIP Budget. <br />The Parks & Recreation Director reported that Pioneer <br />Park parking lot expansion on the Centerville Road side <br />of the park is estimated to cost $40,000 for 34 <br />additional paved parking spaces plus an additional <br />entrance to the parking lot. This $40,000 figure <br />includes concrete curb and gutter as well as blacktop. <br />There had been previous discussion about expanding the <br />lot further north. However, the cost of going further <br />north would be higher since soil corrections would be <br />needed due to a low area to the north. The Director <br />reported that reference to permanent parking lot <br />improvements in the year 1999 relate to additional <br />parking on the DeSoto side of the park in conjunction <br />with the addition of the picnic shelter at that side of <br />the park. <br />Fahey instructed staff to correct the budget document <br />to show that the 1999 parking lot improvements refer to <br />the DeSoto Street side of Pioneer Park. <br />Fahey asked if the cost of the Spooner Park shelter <br />reflect any donations that have been pledged to that <br />project. <br />The City Administrator pointed out that the CIP Budget <br />contains $130,000 for the Pioneer/Spooner <br />Shelter/Restrooms. Of that amount, $5,000 is budgeted <br />for relocation of the existing Spooner Park shelter to <br />Pioneer Park. The Council and staff discussed <br />committed donations to the 5pooner Park shelter <br />project, with staff informing the Council that $20,000 <br />was donated by outside sources in 1995 for the shelter <br />project, and $27,500 was committed in 1996. An <br />additional $5,000 is committed for 1997, which is an <br />estimate of the Fire Department's charitable gambling <br />net profits for the month of December. Therefore, <br />total outside revenue committed to the Spooner Park <br />shelter project is $52,500 at this time. <br />LaValle pointed out that the architect's estimate is <br />$130,000. <br />The City Administrator replied that that was correct. <br />However, the bid documents will be set up with <br />alternates to reduce the cost of the project. The <br />Administrator stated that it is hoped that bids will <br />come in close to $120,000. <br />Council reviewed the Park Land Acquisition Fund, and <br />lo <br />
