Mounds View City Council June 9, 2025 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />Administrator Zikmund reported the slab would be 2,000 square feet in size. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark asked how the wall within the outdoor studio would be oriented. Public <br />Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported the concrete slab would run east/west and <br />the wall would run north/south. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Clark/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 10101, <br />Approving the Cost Proposal from Cornerstone Concrete for the installation of the concrete slab <br />for the Fitness Court. <br /> <br />Council Member Smith reported this project came in after the Parks Master Plan and she opposed <br />the project. She indicated the original estimate was $20,000 to $30,000 and now the City would <br />be spending $55,290. She discussed the expense that would be spent on the zip line to have it taken <br />down and moved to another park. She supported the City addressing resident concerns prior to <br />spending funding on this project. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause clarified none of this project was included in the 2025 budget. He <br />indicated he was originally opposed to this project because the Council did not receive a <br />resounding recommendation from the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission. However, he <br />noted he would be supporting this Resolution because the majority of the Council supported this <br />project moving forward. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson discussed how the cost for construction was <br />on the rise, not just concrete work, but in all trades. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark reported she reached out to the local cross fit gym owner and understood <br />they were very excited about this new space. She indicated they were interested in holding a free <br />event once a month for the community. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom stated he understood the up-front costs were higher than expected, but he <br />believed there was great value in having this fitness court in the park. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Smith) Motion carried. <br /> <br />C. Resolution 10102, Approving the Cost Proposals for the Concrete and <br />Electrical work for the Tribute Park. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council approve the cost <br />proposals for the concrete and electrical work for the Tribute Park. He explained part of the park <br />would include installing concrete sidewalks to reach the granite monuments with lighting on the <br />granite monuments. He reported after speaking with vendors, the concrete work low bid came in <br />at $77,300 and the electrical work low bid came in at $220,720. It was noted all of the lighting <br />would be LED. He reviewed images of the proposed park and recommended approval of the <br />concrete and electrical work for Tribute Park. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked how much funding has been raised for the Tribute Park.
