Parks Commission Meeting Minutes February 12, 2001 Page 5 Jindra asked about the selection of playground equipment. Mr. Kost reviewed the equipment which is aimed toward 7 years old and younger. 0 5 Gebhardt inquired as to the play area surface to which Mr. Kost responded that it is a fiber 6 surface. Skrivseth asked about the slope from the parking lot to the pavilion. Mr. Kost noted that it is walkable and reviewed the walkways and stairways on the layout, including those of ADA accessibility. Ganley complimented the very welcoming and integrated design. 4 Zurbey inquired about the cost of the construction. Mr. Kost stated that it would approximate 5 $500,000 depending on the finishes. Ganley added that it includes additional amenities and, Mr. 6 Hartman concurred that it provides more accommodations. 7 Anderson pointed out that in serving picnic groups it may be necessary for vehicles such as catering trucks to enter the area which is close to the children's play area/wading pool area. He suggested that this issue needs to be addressed. Jenson, along with Dunn and Wagner, questioned the need for a concession stand. Mr. Kost 3 commented that, with meeting and/or rental space, a "wet" area will be needed, but reducing the 4 size of the concession area will allow for cost savings. 5 6 Mr. Hartman stated that a decision needs to be made regarding the concession stand. Jindra 7 noted that there is the possibility in the future of sports boosters using the concession stand. Mr. 8 Hartman pointed out that the cost of the concession stand which is approximately $35,000 seems 9 to reasonable in the overall plan. 0 1 Motion by Jenson, second by Hallada, to approve the design of the design presented by Mr. Kost. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kost next reviewed the cost estimates based on additions to the project including a more decorative entry, additional trees and shrubs, additional stairs, and asphalt removal. He pointed out that the electrical cost estimate is higher than anticipated. He added that this includes lights for Fields 2, 3 and 4 ( soccer and baseball), and for hockey and ice skating.
