ounds View City Council Page Four gular Meeting November 23, 1992 Saarion stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission requests that the Council approve the expenditure of the $12, 000 on tracks for the skid loader, floor improvements on the Random Park Building, two nine hole disc golf equipment sets and the replacement of the Groveland Park cargo net. Councilmember Rickaby commended the Parks and Recreation Commission for their work in establishing the needs for the parks and the excellent way to use the budgeted $12,000. Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works, stated there is excess funding in the construction account in the Streets Department and rather than buying the steel tracks for the skid loader would fund half the cost of rubber tracks which would enable the loader to be driven to different locations rather than hauled if the steel tracks were purchased. MOTIONJSECOND: Quick/Blanchard to approve the purchase of skid loader tracks, the floor improvements to the Random Park Building, the purchase of two nine hole golf disc equipment sets and the replacement of the Groveland Park cargo net. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried B. Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, reviewed Staff Report No. 92-418C regarding the water treatment plant equipment bids. Minetor stated that staff is recommending that the existing plant equipment be retained and modifications to the plant be made to provide backwash reclamation and automation and that the Council reject bids for filtration equipment from Filtronics and Hungerford and Terry. Minetor stated that the cost of remodeling the existing equipment, rehabilitating the building and automating controls is estimated to be approximately $482, 000. This is in comparison to the estimate of $890, 000 to renovate the filter plants with new filter equipment. Minetor stated that if the Council concurred with Staff recommendation to rehabilitate the City's existing filter plants, SEH can have plans and specifications for bid by the end of December. A decision would have to be made at this time regarding the roofs of the buildings due to the fact that the roofs are in need of repair. Minetor asked if the Council wanted to have pitched roofs so the buildings would blend into the neighborhoods where they are located. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Rickaby to reject the bids for filtration equipment from Filtronics and Hungerford and Terry, rehabilitate the existing filtering plants which includes filtration equipment modifica- tion and building renovation and stay with the flat roof on the 410 buildings.
