Parks Commission Meeting Minutes August 10, 1998 Page 12 ' 1 Siggelkow reiterated that the Commission first bid on the excavation plan. Next, he 2 suggested the Commission bid on the configuration of the park subject to minor 3 modifications. 4 Hubmer stated that the excavation is the key issue. Bids may be done together or 5 separately on court size;playground equipment, basketball,hockey,playground 6 structures,pathways, etc., with all subject to..change. 7 Wagner suggested there might be a bidder wanting to do only the excavation. 8 Hubmer agreed that this is possible, although he said there usually are very aggressive 9 bids for entire projects. He added that the City might get a good price, with Central 10 Park's projects coming soon as well. 11 Siggelkow stated Council action is needed on the bid,but some time could be spent on 12 the configuration. He added that the excavation is imminent due to the storm water plan, 13 and the excavation is not a Parks Commission issue. 14 Kosciolek repeated her request that the Commission stand behind this plan before it is 15 presented to Council. 16 17 Siggelkow suggested the Commission might not be prepared to send the finalized 18 configuration to the Council. 19, Morris agreed that a work session is needed. He said he would like to see a scale drawing 20 of the concept. Kosciolek replied that the parks task force has already done this. 21 Jindra stated only Central Park's plan was fully reviewed, and this process took one year. 22 She agreed that the Commission needs more information, as this new plan would affect 23 the Central Park plan as well. She stated she agrees with Kosciolek that the Commission 24 should agree on the plan before it goes to Council. She said the Commission may need 25 more than one work session, as she would like the meeting to end tonight at 9:00 p.m. 26 She then asked for a motion to decide on the need for a.work*session. 27 Lambrecht requested the minutes from the parks task force. Jindra stated the minutes 28 should have been handed out. She said that the force looked only at Central Park so these 29 minutes wouldn't help with Silver Point Park. 30 Siggelkow suggested the Commission vote tonight on two or three options for the 31 configuration. He said that when the scaled drawings are completed,the Commission 32 could make a final decision. Members who cannot attend a special session could cast an 33 absentee vote and send it in to Council. He suggested having the neighborhoods look at 34 the drawings,without taking too much time, and suggested a draft for now. Siggelkow
