REVIEW PLANS FOR CENTRAL AND SILVER POINT PARKS. 12 Hubmer reviewed the design for Central Park and explained the impact of flood 13 mitigation at this site. The proposed plan includes a pond or open ditch for water 14 storage.—The project will begin fall of 1998. 15 Mornson requested the Commissioners consider landscaping ideas for this area prior to 16 the next meeting. 17 Hubmer went on to explain the amount of water necessary to fill the pond and the 18 required area needed for protection to surrounding homes. He also noted that the bids 19 for both Central and Silver Point Parks will be let at the same time in order to obtain 20 the best possible costs. 21 Wagner asked if the Central Park pond would impact the existing pool and playground 22 area to which Hubmer responded it would not. 23 Jensen asked if more time is needed to determine the best plan and usage of Silver Point 24 Park. Mornson responded that these issues must be addressed now. 25 Jindra requested more time to study the Silver Point Project. She inquired about 26 funding sources and possible grants for future funds. 27 Lambrecht felt that the large, mature trees should be replaced, if trees need to be 28 removed for this project. 29 Using a visual aid, Hubmer showed where storm water will be routed and where the 30 water will exit at Silver Point Park. 31 Siggelkow wondered if Trillium Park was considered. Hubmer responded that it had. 32 Hubmer indicated that the estimated cost for Silver Point Park is $700,000 - $800,000. 33 Mornson stated that funds will be used for park restoration and the purchase of new 34 equipment.
