Mounds View City Council August 28, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 19 <br />deteriorate, as is the case with any bituminous surface. Several cracks have been increasing in <br />width and severity. While this is not of great concern for winter skating, the rink is also utilized <br />for in-line skating in the summer months. The surface of the rink will need to be added to, to <br />accommodate the rink configuration. Staff would also request Council consider authorizing <br />resurfacing of the pavement. A preliminary estimate for this repair would be approximately <br />$10,000.00. The resurfacing material is a special material designed for both winter flooding and <br />in-line skating. Staff is seeking information on this product from the contractor and previous <br />users. <br />Acting City Manager Ulrich reported a total of approximately $31,400.00 would be required for <br />the Hillview projects. Staff is aware of the resolution and policy that was recently adopted which <br />would allow for only the interest on the Park Dedication fund to be spent for improvements. He <br />stated that at this time, it would seem that this might be the most likely funding source other than <br />general fund reserves. Park Dedication fees will be received from the Walgreen and Mermaid <br />projects in the future. A combined amount between $43,400.00 and $49,400.00 will be required <br />to complete all of the projects. He stated staff is seeking Council direction and/or approval for <br />these projects. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Thomason/Marty. To Authorize staff to pursue the purchase of equipment <br />for the Woodcrest Park at a cost of approximately $12,000 to $18,000 (which includes structure, <br />border and surrounding fill), to replace the Hillview hockey boards prior to the 2000-2001 winter <br />• season at a cost of approximately $21,400.00 (which includes new posts, boards and fencing); <br />and to authorize the resurfacing of the Hillview rink pavement at a cost of approximately <br />$10,000 with funding to be from the Park Dedication Fund. <br />Council Member Marty asked about the wetland area at Woodcrest and how it was to be <br />constructed. Acting City Manager Ulrich stated it is constructed according to plan and explained <br />how wetlands are restored. <br />Council Member Marty expressed concern about the park improvements in the north area and <br />whether it would be maintained and used. Acting City Manager Ulrich stated it is on the <br />schedule at least three times a year for rough cut mowing and once the playground equipment is <br />installed, better turf will be established. <br />Council Member Marty asked when the play equipment can be put in and when the hockey rink <br />can be started. Acting City Manager Ulrich estimated one to two weeks for the hockey rink and <br />staff would get quotes this week on the purchase of equipment and installation. <br />Acting Mayor Stigney stated the Council took action to only spend interest off the Park Fund, <br />noting this cost is in excess of that amount. He asked if that negates what the Council approved. <br />Acting City Manager Ulrich stated in a way it does and explained that the Council could place a <br />condition that the interest for next year not be spent. <br />Council Member Thomason stated after the Council voted to go ahead with the Woodcrest <br />project and not specify the fund, Park and Recreation decided to use the money they had <br />
