City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • August 25, 1998 Page 10 1 Mr. Hubmer stated he had spoken with the Environmental Quality Board, and the 2 petition was dismissed at that level and their attorney has been notified of that fact. 3 Mayor Ranallo asked whether the completion of Silver Point Park and 29th Avenue 4 would affect the outcome of the construction of a holding pond on Harding and St. 5 Anthony Boulevard. 6 Mr. Hubmer stated Silver Point Park is only in the first phases of redevelopment. 7 Faust asked for a deadline from WSB so the Parks Commission can continue their 8 discussion without rushing to make a decision. 9 Mr. Hubmer stated the Parks Commission had requested 2 or 3 alternative layouts for 10 Silver Point Park depicting various amenities, ballfields, etc., for presentation at the 11 next Parks Commission meeting. After that, a public meeting would be held to get 12 feedback from residents before construction bids are received. WSB would require 13 approval from the City Council at their September 8, 1998 meeting to obtain bids from 14 contractors after getting preliminary input from the Parks Commission. Ms. Jindra stated other factors still need to be considered including possibility the ossibili of 16 adding 1 adult field which brings into question the issue of lighting. 17 Ms. Jindra stated she and the other Parks Commissioners are concerned WSB needs 18 decisions regarding excavation from the City this fall. She added the Parks 19 Commission, having met only once to date, is probably not ready to make such 20 decisions and remain responsible to the City and its residents. 21 Mr. Hubmer stated a bulkhead system could be installed on 29th Avenue to suspend its 22 function for a year. However, Silver Point Park would be unusable longer than if the 23 grading was done this fall. 24 Cavanaugh asked if only 80% of the park could be reconstructed so people could still 25 use it this fall. He stated part of the work could be done in the fall and it would then be 26 finished in the spring. 27 Mr. Hubmer stated this would cause problems regarding the construction bidding 28 process. 29 Marks questioned the holding capacity of Silver Point Park. Mr. Hubmer stated the holding capacity would be 22 acre feet.
