City is sending RFP’s to other engineering firms because TKDA was in the cities opinion too high as we own the prints and there was just some minor modifications required to make the

4 a) Dazenski gave a wonderful report on what has been done off the Needs
Analysis List.
b) Dazenski with the aid of an aerial photo pointed out that we could make a
usable but small soccer field on the Oakwood Park area. It would require
elevation corrections for run off and level playing surface but it was
explained that materials could be secure at low or no cost to the city.
No other items discussed.
5 a) Porta potty has been moved to the backstop area.
Volleyball courts: Dazenski explained that the timbers are used to
contain the sand and not for boundaries. There is rope that designates
the boundaries.
Sedimentation pond: Dazenski explained that the pond had been dug
out and that the engineers would have to approve final grade. The weir
and culvert will be installed sometime in the next two weeks as we need to get the seed and mulch in as soon as possible.
Purple Loostrife update: We did not see any blooming on the east end of the pond and that is a very good sign that the beetles did their job!
The DNR would like to harvest beetles from our sites next spring.
