Parks Commission Meeting Minutes January 11, 1999 Page 6 2 Hartman stated the contractor in Silver Point Park had recently requested the equipment for that 3 park be ordered immediately as they expected to begin installation in Spring 1999. Hubmer 4 advised that the Commission remove the equipment portion of the Silver Point Park bid from the 5 contract and add it to the bid for Central Park, thereby removing time constraints, obtaining a 6 consistent design element, and getting a better deal on the equipment. 8 Jindra asked whether Silver Point Park will therefore be open earlier than 2000. Hubmer stated 9 the park's opening will be affected by weather conditions in Spring 1999. Wolff asked whether 10 the recent cold weather has affected Silver Point Park's timeline.
