Consideration of Approval/Recommendation for the Park Building 26 Improvements 27 28 Mary Saarion, Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry reported 29 that last year staff had prepared a grant application for the 30 installation of restrooms in three of the park buildings in the City 31 and submitted for a Community Development Block Grant through Ramsey 32 County. The City was awarded $25, 000 for the project. The project 33 was recently put to bid. Three bids were received, however, the low 34 bidder had not received the addendum and had not bidded with the 35 addendum. The next low bid was $38,469 which is higher than the 36 grant monies. The Park and Recreation Commission requested Mary to 37 go to the Council and ask the Council to approve Hillview and 38 Groveland Park improvements as bid with the additional monies coming 39 from the Park Dedication Fees received from the C. G. Hill project. 40 This would be enough money to accomplish the improvements on two 41 buildings. 42 43 Saarion further stated that in addition, in the 1995 budget, the 44 replacement of furnaces to both Hillview and Groveland Parks and it 45 would be wise to do all of the work at one time. Saarion asked if 46 the Council would consider a loan from the Recreation Activity Fund 47 to replace the Parks Capital Fund in 1995 as planned. The furnaces 48 in the buildings presently are very unreliable. 49 50 Saarion asked to the Council to accept CM Construction Company's 51 bid withdrawal; approve the bid by Callahan Construction for the 52 improvements and to authorize the loan from the Recreation Activity 53 Fund to replace the Parks Capital Fund in 1995. 54
