Parks Commission Meeting Minutes August 10, 1998 Page 6 Jindra stated the Commission would discuss the plans and get back to Hubmer. She asked the Commission if an additional meeting would be needed. 3 Morris asked that the Commission discuss this further at the next meeting on September 4 14. He understood that the time table is tight. 5 Jindra asked if the Commission would like to meet on August 24. Morris stated he would 6 not be able to attend on August 24. Louiselle stated a special session could be held with 7 the Commission members that can attend, as long as a quorum is present. 8 Siggelkow asked if the bid would be for landscaping only or for the entire plan. Hubmer 9 replied that the excavation and park restoration work is included in the bid. If needed, a 10 change order could be added to switch locations, for an extra charge. Siggelkow said the 11 excavation work would be done regardless of the rest of the plan. He asked if the bid 12 could be in two parts. Hubmer replied that one bid is more economical, and could wait. 13 Jindra asked if the Commission waits until September 14 to meet, could the Council then 14 hold a special session. Hubmer replied that work is scheduled to begin by October or 15 November, so this wouldn't allow enough time. 16 Morris asked whether the project could wait until Spring, since the park would be 17 unusable at that time. Hubmer replied that the 29`h Avenue street construction would 18 begin in the Spring. There would have to be space for this area's water to flow, which is 19 planned for Silver Point Park. He said that without this water storage plan in place, the 20 street construction couldn't occur. 21 Kosciolek stated it is crucial for the Commission to review the plan before it is presented 22 to the Council. She suggested Commission members meet, if possible, or review the 23 plans by mail or e-mail, and then voice their concerns. 24 Hubmer stated that the excavation is the key issue. Bids may be done together or 25 separately on court size, playground equipment, basketball, hockey, playground 26 structures, pathways, etc., with all subject to change. 27 Siggelkow stated Council action is needed on the bid, but some time could be spent on 28 the configuration. He added that the excavation is imminent due to the storm water plan, 29 and the excavation is not a Parks Commission issue. 30 Kosciolek repeated her request that the Commission stand behind this plan before it is 31 presented to Council. Siggelkow suggested the Commission might not be prepared to 32 send the finalized configuration to the Council. 33 Jindra offered that the Commission needs more information, as this new plan would 34 affect the Central Park plan as well. She stated she agrees with Kosciolek that the
