Phase II Phase II is the creation of a playground area adjacent to the proposed soccer fields. The Commission has indicated a desire to investigate playground packages that are targeted for younger children. The focus is to keep the cost under $15,000 for the equipment. Note: the cost of the boarder and fiberfill material could be as much as $8,000 for a large area. Considerations included: “Rendevous” at $14, 600 “Mix It Up” could meet this need at $14,453. “Recess Time-II” without the canopy was also considered at $10,300. Motion by Palm, 2nd by Long to order Recess Time II in earth tone colors with beige slides, dark green poles, and dark brown platforms. Motion Passed 7-0 Motion by Palm, 2nd by Long to include Recess Time II with swing sets with 2 bucket and 2 belt swings, and NOT a tot lot or spring rider. Motion Passed 7-0. Phase III Disc Golf – Cost estimated have been developed for a 9-Hole and 18-Hole course: 9-Hole 18-Hole Design $900 $1,500 Goals $3,420 $6,840 Footings $1,350 $2,700 Tee pads $900 $1,800 Clearing Staff / Golf Volunteers Sub total $6,570 $12,840 10% contingency $ 657 $1,284 TOTAL $7,227 $14,120 The design for a 9 hole course is $900.00 and for a 18 hole course is $1500.00. This would assure that our course would be built to acceptable standards thru the National Disc Golf Association. Disc Golf at Oakwood / Greenfield: The prices are between $360.00 and $380.00 for the goals depending on the style. This would be 9 or 18 depending on the course. Concrete and rebar would cost approximately $150.00 per hole. The tee pads could be developed by staff for approximately $100.00 each. They would be bituminous and should hold up very well. The clearing and brush removal could be done in house and would enlist the help of the Frisbee association to assist. When the Silver View course was installed they were available and helpful. Tree removal will be kept to a minimum. We are basically looking at scrub bushes and stunted saplings. The corridors or freeways are not very wide and efforts would be made to keep any larger trees in play. Signage could be installed at a later date, and we could do without the blacktop tee boxes for awhile. We could use gravel and aglime (we will have some from the ball field). The area where the old playground stood would need to be trimmed back and maybe some of the cottonwoods removed due to their condition. We do have some saplings growing just east of that area. Staff discussed these with our forester and he felt it would be better to get some bare root plantings instead of trying to transplant our existing saplings. Motion by Arel, 2nd by Aukee to design an 18-hole disc golf course that is a challenging course to promote long-term use according to Mike Snelson from Fairway Flyerz. Motion Passed 7-0 Park Dedication Fund Review – The estimated fund balance of the Park Dedicated Fund as of December 31, 2006 was $994,808.13 plus an estimated interest amount of $15,000. Park Improvement Plan - The Park Improvement Program was last updated in June of 2006. A review and update of the Park Improvement Program occurred and completed items were eliminated.
