Parks Commission Meeting Minutes <br />May 1, 2001 <br />Page 5 <br />I Chair Jindra identified three sources whose support is critical: the City Council, the school, and the <br />2 Sports Boosters. Commissioner Gebhardt indicated that the contaminated soil is standing as a major <br />3 problem right now, and that those groups need to understand that. <br />4 The Commission discussed their options. <br />5 Mr. Kost stated that the Engineers Estimate was $1,855,834. He indicated that after they factor in <br />6 the additions and deductions, the total is $1,747,614. <br />7 Commissioner Zurbey suggested that the Commission determine where they could change the specs <br />8 in order to reduce the cost of this project. Mr. Kost suggested reducing the soil profile by half, to <br />9 $300,000. However, he stated that he did not want to see the soil depth go below 8 inches. <br />10 The Commission decided that all would attend the next City Council meeting where the bids would <br />I be presented. <br />12 <br />13 Motion by Ganley to proceed with option A: the low bid from Veit and Company which represents <br />14 $1,915,567, 11% over the engineers estimate. <br />15 Motion carried unanimously. <br />16 V. REPORTS. <br />17 A. Community Services. <br />is None. <br />19 B. School Board <br />20 None. <br />21 C. Sports Booster. <br />22 George Zurbey indicated that they informed everyone that they can not schedule time for <br />23 the use of the athletic field after May 31". Commissioner Jenson asked the Commission <br />24 if it were possible to use the field two days after the scheduled close date for an alumni <br />25 football game. <br />26 <br />27 VI. OTHER BUSINESS. <br />28 Chair Jindra asked if everyone had a chance to go down to Silver Point Park and see where Ms. <br />29 Olivier had sectioned off an area to show where the storage and mechanical area would be <br />30 located. The storage and mechanical area was moved to the front of the building with an <br />31 overhang, where it will not affect the path. <br />32 Chair Jindra reviewed the changes Ms. Olivier made to the Central Park Pavillion, where she has <br />33 put some of the mechanical and storage space up above, which should reduce the price a little <br />34 more. <br />35 <br />
