Parks Commission Meeting Minutes January 8, 2001 Page 4 1 Zurbey asked how the subcommittees would be able to respond to all the questions of the community 2 and staff. Mr. Hubmer indicated the subcommittees would have to work through Mr. Hartman to 3 reach BRW with all questions and concerns. 4 Mr. Hubmer noted he would need direction from the Commission on the pavilion and concession 5 stand. He stated the north end of the park was still in flux. Mr. Hubmer encouraged the Commission 6 to take their time with designing and placing the pavilion within the park. Mr. Hubmer indicated 7 the shape, size and location of these footprints would need to be noted before BRW could finalize 8 the park layout plans and commence bidding. 9 Mr. Hartman asked for a final date on having the size and footprint of the pavilion and concession 10 stand. Mr. Hubmer indicated he would need this information by the February meeting. 11 Zurbey indicated he did not feel it would be possible to have this information by February. Mr. 12 Hartman stated he felt this would be possible if the subcommittees were to meet several times 13 between now and the February meeting. He indicated if the subcommittees meet and have 14 presentations at the next meeting, the rest of the park would not be held up any further. 15 Mr. Hartman asked if the buildings would be under a separate contract or within the bid of the entire 16 park. Mr. Hubmer stated the Park Commission would be better served with the buildings as a 17 separate contract to allow the Commission time to resolve the pavilion and concession stand issues. 18 He noted the Park Commission would not be spending any more money if the project was done in 19 conjunction with the park or completed separately. 20 Mr. Hubmer indicated the City has allotted $180,000 for the building construction and engineering. 21 He noted if the City chooses not to use BRW for the pavilion and concession stand those funds 22 would be allocated to the firm the Park Commission chooses. 23 Mr. Hubmer reviewed the Phase I Environmental plans with the Park Commission. He noted the 24 MPCA has been alerted him of borings from this site which were questionable. Mr. Hubmer stated 25 the City would be entering in the VIC program with the MPCA to clean up the Central Park site if 26 needed. He noted the site has been capped at this time with four feet of clay to allow for the use of 27 the ball fields. 28 Jenson asked how deep the borings were at Central Park. Mr. Hubmer indicated the borings were 29 approximately 25 feet at the Central Park site. He noted the Phase II Environmental study would 30 greater define the area of contamination and the actions that the City would need to take. 31 Jindra asked if the sledding hill would be kept intact. Mr. Hubmer stated there would be a ten foot 32 vertical change and a five foot section would be eliminated on one side of the hill.
