It allows for 4 additional flexibility. 5 Mr. Kost mentioned that the trails would be constructed so that maintenance vehicles would 6 be able to drive on the trail as necessary. Jenson mentioned the importance of vehicles being 7 able to have access to the trails for deliveries to the concession stand, among other things. 8 In response to some concern regarding the estimated cost of the redevelopment, Mr. Kost 9 stated that many items on the cost estimate were optional; however, BRW wished to present 10 the Commissioners with the best possible scenario for the Park and allow for reductions from 11 that point. 12 In response to an inquiry by Hallada regarding the cost of the building considered prior to 13 this meeting, Mr. Kost stated that the cost of the custom bathroom/concession stand would 14 have been approximately $50,000 once the fixtures were added.
