Parks Commission Meeting Minutes • October 10,2001 Page 5 1 Chair Jindra asked what Hubmer recommended. Hubmer recommended a one and a half percent 2 slope without drain tile: 3 Commissioner Wagner clarified that drain tiles were not a part of the specifics right now. 4 Jensen stated he thought that they should stick with the design the way that it is today. 5 Hubmer indicated that they could install drain tile in the trails and, if eventually necessary,they could b, 6 installed in the fields with reasonable ease. 7 Wong indicated that they would need at least 1500 feet of drain tile for the entire trail, which would 8 cost about$60,000. 9 Hubmer stated that the Commission could determine a price that they were willing to spend on the drair 10 tile for the trail,then see what a contractor comes up with for a bid. 11 Zurbey asked who would be at fault if the field were soggy after rain. Anderson indicated that 12 extremely heavy rains are going to produce soggy fields. He added that if an inspector gets the base 13 graded-properly,they unlikely would have a problem. 14 Chair Jindra re-asked who was responsible for soggy fields after$2,300,000 was spent on the project. 15 She received the same answer that did not determine blame, but, instead, importance that the inspector 16 does his job well. 17 Anderson indicated that a one and a half percent grade should be sufficient. 18 Jenson indicated that the suggestion from the contractor to add drain tile was a way to up-sell them 19 unnecessarily. 20 Commissioner Gebhardt stated that she felt that they have gone to the City Council too many times 21 asking for money, and that they should not go back when the project is finished and ask for money for 22 drain tile. She added that they either needed to determine that the drain tile was necessary now, and 23 come up with the money, or have the confidence that the grading will be done properly. 24 Hartman indicated that they could not go back to the City Council for more money. 25 Chair Jindra asked Commissioner Gebhardt if she thought that they needed to find a way to pay for the • 26 drain tile now. Commissioner Gebhardt indicated she was concerned about the issue arising and that 27 they needed to get it right the first time.
