Mayor Faust noted that ultimately the building is funded by the Council, and that the Council gave some guidance in Silver Lake Village. If input were to be provided on this building they would likely look at what has been done in the parks in similar type buildings and the information would be presented at the open house. Councilmember Roth asked what material will be used on the walking path. Ms. Garbarini replied it is currently planned as bituminous. Councilmember Roth verified with Ms. Garbarini that there will still be 18 parking spots when the parking is relocated to the street. Ms. Garbarini explained that the current layout does not make for a safe ingress /egress into the park. This was eliminated and there will now be safe pull - off parallel parking. Councilmember Stille questioned if the resolution authorizing CLOSE Landscape to begin the design development, construction documents, bidding and construction administration for the project is just the beginning of the process. He questioned what the next steps are and noted there is not much time between the Park Commission meeting last night and this City Council meeting tonight. City Manager Morrison stated the intent of this resolution is that the next time Ms. Garbarini and the Park Commission are in front of the Council would likely be February or March with bid openings. All of the public meetings would be in front of the Park Commission, except for the public hearing on setting up tax abatement for the project. This hearing would be held on October 14`". The bond sale will be included with the 2009 street project. He indicated the consultant could come back periodically. The Council has the right to call this project to the Council at any time. Mayor Faust stated the Park Commission has included the amenities they think they would like at this park. If the project were to go over budget it would be requested that the Commission to remove something from the plan. City Manager Morrison stated the motion adopted by the Park Commission last night authorized that everything presented tonight would be included in the design and the bid. He indicated any changes made by the Park Commission would be required to be presented to the City Council.
