Park Board <br />March 6, 2023 <br />pg. 3 <br /> <br />FINAL MINUTES <br /> <br />Each playground equipment replacement project includes $70,000 for equipment and up <br />to $25,000 for play container edging and engineered wood fiber. <br />The estimated project cost for the pickleball courts was $25,000. This was assuming the <br />existing bituminous pad was in sufficient condition to provide a decent base. Upon <br />closer inspection, it’s been determined that existing material should be removed and <br />replaced with an additional aggregate base, 1.5-inch base course, and 1.5-inch wear <br />course. Total project cost amounts to approximately $42,000. This includes painting, <br />striping, two sets of pickleball posts and nets, and a Goalsetter MVP basketball standard. <br />Mr. DeGardner asked if the Park Board still wants to proceed with the two pickleball <br />courts and ½ basketball court at City Hall Park in 2023. <br />Mr. Huelman stated yes, there is a cost increase, but he would still like to add the two <br />pickleball courts and ½ basketball court. <br />Mrs. Ballering asked if the ½ basketball court already existed or if this will be <br />something new. Mr. DeGardner replied that the old skate pad will hold both pickleball <br />courts and the ½ basketball court. <br />Mrs. Ballering asked why a ½ court versus a full basketball court. <br />Mr. Kusterman would like to see a full-size basketball court or scrap the ½ court. <br />Mr. DeGardner asked if the Park Board would like him to get two different quotes. One <br />quote for two pickleball courts and a second quote for two pickleball courts and a full- <br />size basketball court? Mr. Huelman agreed that it was a good idea. <br />Mr. Termont stated he likes the idea of two pickleball courts being on the north side of <br />the town. <br />Mrs. Schmidt likes the idea of having pickleball courts at City Hall Park. <br />Mr. Kusterman questioned if we should ask the residents near City Hall Park what they <br />would prefer. Mr. DeGardner replied that if a full basketball court was added, City Hall <br />Park would be considered a destination park. If a ½ basketball court was added, it might <br />be a good idea to ask the residents near City Hall Park if they would use it. <br /> <br />9. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A.
