Park Equipment Bid for Parks Task Force and City Council. 18 Mornson reported he has instructed Public Works Director Jay Hartman to work with 19 Community Services Director Kathy Knapp to develop an RFP for park equipment to be located 20 in the small enclosed play area. This will be sent out for proposals and will hopefully be ready 21 by the March Council work session. This will first be submitted to the Parks Task Force and 22 they will then develop a proposal for Council consideration. 23 Mornson noted there has been some concern expressed in regard to the presentation made to the 24 Parks Task Force by WSB. WSB reported possible excavation of Emerald and Silver Point 25 Parks. Due to the amount of concern expressed, Mornson has asked WSB to run some models 26 showing possible design options. 27 Thuesen reported he has received calls from residents. 28 Marks explained that the presentation at the Parks Task Force meeting included the possibility of 29 excavation of two levels. The impression was that the day after a rain, the water would be down 30 and the field would be usable again. The real problem is that there is not much area for water 31 storage in the southwest quadrant of the City. Cavanaugh noted WSB has included the property behind the Hunt's property in their proposal. They are including other property beside park property.
