Mounds View City Council June 9, 2025 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />Administrator Zikmund estimated just over $65,000 has been raised to date. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn reported fundraising efforts were ongoing for this park. <br /> <br />Council Member Smith stated the proposed bids put the project at $298,020, which was $39,860 <br />over the original estimate. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported this was <br />the case. He commented further on how two major data center projects in the metro area were <br />taking many of the electricians in the metro area out of service, which may have led to a higher <br />bid price for the electrical work. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 10102, <br />Approving the Cost Proposals for the Concrete and Electrical work for the Tribute Park. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />D. Resolution 10104, Authorizing the Relocation of the Zipline Equipment from <br />Hodges Park to Silver View Park. <br /> <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson requested the Council authorize the <br />relocation of the zipline equipment from Hodges Park to Silver View Park. He discussed how the <br />zipline at Hodges Park has brought in more patrons and the popularity has garnered mixed feelings <br />from the adjacent property owners. For this reason, staff and the Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br />Commission was recommending the zipline be relocated to Silver View Park. It was noted staff <br />received a quote from MWP Recreation for moving the zipline and the cost would be $53,649.20. <br />He noted this quote includes the installation of two new swings at Hodges Park, along with the <br />reinstallation of the purple and green dinosaurs. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked where the zipline would be installed at Silver View Park. <br />Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reviewed the proposed location for the <br />zipline, which was next to the basketball court. <br /> <br />Council Member Clark expressed concern with how close the zipline would be to the basketball <br />court and inquired if this would be a safety concern. <br /> <br />Council Member Smith questioned if the zipline could be locked at night. Public Works/Parks and <br />Recreation Director Peterson stated he has not looked into this, but stated this would require <br />additional staff time to monitor on a daily basis. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom stated if this request were approved by the City Council, when would the zipline <br />be moved. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained the zipline would be <br />moved in July. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom suggested the zipline be moved in September, when kids have returned to <br />school. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson advised the City Council to allow <br />the contractor to complete the work on his schedule or the City may not get the vendor back until <br />late September or October.
