He stated CLOSE Landscape has finalized the plans for the Emerald Park renovation project, which has been under consideration for the past three to four years. This project will significantly enhance the usability of the park. A motion was made and carried at the last Park Commission meeting to recommend to the City Council that the Emerald Park Renovation Project plan be approved and submitted for bids. Jean Garbarini will present the Council with the plans for the park. Mr. Koehntop thanked the Park Commission, Public Works Director Jay Hartman, and Councilmembers Stille and Roth as liaisons to the Park Commission. Ms. Jean Garbarini, CLOSE Landscape Architecture, reviewed the project location and presented pictures of the existing conditions at the park. She provided an update on the preliminary plan for the Emerald Park Reconstruction Project. She provided an overview of the work and associated costs of $1,407,836 according to the preliminary project plan. Ms. Garbarini reviewed the preliminary project schedule. She stated the residents are very active in this community and she has noticed heavy use at many of the parks in the community. Her impression is that the Village of St. Anthony is sort of a small town in a larger urban area. This park will bring yet another amenity to the residents. Councilmember Stille inquired about the size of the proposed building. Ms. Garbarini replied the plans are based on the footprint of the existing building.
