CITY OF LINO LAKES <br /> PARK BOARD MEETING <br /> MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 <br /> high. Marty told of other things that were planned for this park <br /> such as playground equipment, an open play area, picnic area, <br /> horseshoe court, 112 court basketball area, and vegetation seed <br /> and sodding. <br /> The total estimated cost of this park is $77, 750.00. This can be <br /> reduced if we can get lower bids for grading and asphalt work and <br /> participation from the residents in the construction of the <br /> boardwalk and playground equipment. <br /> Jim Bruce told the Park Board that the neighborhood group is <br /> ecstatic with the plan. He said that they have formed several <br /> committees, even a childrens committee, to get them involved. <br /> They would like approval from the Park Board so they can begin <br /> work on the project. They feel the boardwalk is top priority, <br /> secondary is the trails, grading, and picnic area, and master <br /> field areas is third. They would like to get something in their <br /> neighborhood as soon as possible. <br /> George asked Marty if the first step was site preparation. Marty <br /> said they had burned the huge brush pile that was there. <br /> Starting point one was to grade, do a total kill, a finish grade, <br /> and then seed the area. <br /> There was discussion on hiring people to do bobcat work, <br /> boardwalk construction work, putting up the playground equipment, <br /> etc. Marty said from the liability standpoint our insurance <br /> carriers and the League of Minnesota Cities does not have a <br /> problem with volunteers and assembly type work, but when you <br /> start talking about construction work it becomes a liability <br /> issue and he is not sure to what extent we could allow them to do <br /> this. George said we had discussed this area before and had some <br /> insurance figures. Marty will research this and get more <br /> information. <br /> Amy asked who the contractor was for this area and if they would <br /> be able to help with this project. Jim said the contractors went <br /> bankrupt. <br /> George asked if the $4, 000.00 figure was for a contractor or city <br /> staff to do the grading. Marty said it was for a contractor. <br /> George then asked if the plan was acceptable could it be graded. <br /> Marty said Chuck Bradley has been the cheapest contractor he has <br /> been able to find and he would do a general grade. He also said <br /> there were trees that needed to be removed and he would have the <br /> r-� <br /> city maintenance crew remove them. <br /> 2 <br />
