n SEPTEMBER 15, 1975 Mrs. LeTourneau LeTourneau asked if a 4" well would be adequate for current and future needs of this City. Mr. McGeary wanted to know if the crews were pumping the wells dry and at what rate. The problem with pumping is that the wells would be dry after approximately .4 : 15 minutes of pumping time and in the case of the Hall Park, the water and toilet facilities could not be used in the Hall while flooding was being done. There was no pressure at all . From all information available at this time a 4" well with a 50 gallon per minute capacity would adequate take care of the needs now and in the future. After more discussion, Mr. Karth moved to recommend to the City Council that the Sunrise Park Well be repaired and/or replaced to pump with a capacity of 50 gallons per minute and with some action taken on this matter within the next thirty days. Mr. Hanson seconded the motion. Motion carried. The well at the Hall Park was discussed next and the same conclusions were arrived at: the well needs to be repaired or replaced and Mr. Karth offered the following motion: The Park Commission recommend to the City Council that the Hall Park well be repaired and/or replaced to pump with a capacity of 50 gallons per minute and with some action taken on this matter within the next thrity days. Mrs. LeTourneau seconded the motion and the motion passed. Mr. Karth then presented an informal bid he had obtained for the proposed warming house at the Hall Park. (A wpy of this bid is attached to the minutes.) The proposed building would be 24 x 24 with 16 course block walls, Gable roof with a one foot overhang., G" full thick insulation ceiling, masonary fill insulation walls. The bid does not Include painting or a septic system. Total cost per this bid would be $9,706.00 if built according to specs furnished. Mr. Karth said that they took the specs from Mr. Gotwald's letters earlier this Spring. Mrs. LeTourneau wanted to know if there was still time to put this building up this year. Mr. Karth said that the building contractor said that he could break ground and rough it In in approximately 11 weeks after the proposal was accepted by the City. Mr. McGeary questioned how the septic system would be handled. Would this building require a separate system or could it be somehow tied into the system now being used by the City Hall . The Park Commission Members felt that this was an excellent idea and will ask that steps be taken to determine if this is feasible.
