<br />WS – Item 7 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 7 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: October 1, 2018 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />Re: Arena Acres Park Update, Rick DeGardner <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br />On September 10, 2018 the Park Board, City staff, and Candace Amberg, Senior <br />Landscape Architect with WSB Engineering met with area residents of Arena Acres Park <br />to review conceptual plans and solicit feedback. <br /> <br />Attached is the master plan that was developed as a result of the September 10 <br />discussion. This plan is being presented to the Park Board this evening for approval. <br /> <br />The tennis court amenity was strongly supported by residents attending the September 10 <br />meeting. In order to expedite the construction of the tennis court, staff is recommending <br />proceeding with the installation of the class 5 aggregate base material and non-wear <br />course bituminous this Fall. This will allow the base and non-wear course layers to <br />experience a freeze/thaw cycle prior to the installation of the wear course layer. This <br />should provide a better end product. <br /> <br />Funding for this project was included in the Park Board’s recommendation of 2018 Parks <br />and Trails Capital Projects that was presented at the May 7, 2018 work session. <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Allow staff to coordinate the grading and installation of the base material this Fall. <br />Completion of the tennis court would then occur in the Spring of 2019. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Arena Acres Master Plan
