Voting No: None. 5. COMMITTEE BUSINESS 5.01: Consider Preventative Maintenance for 29-year old Well Pump and Motor at Central Park Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood reviewed the staff report and explained that preventative maintenance is recommended for the 4-inch submersible water supply well that was installed in 1988 at the Park Center Building at Central Park. In 2006, a concessions stand was completed. There are 23 separate fixtures in the park, and the Park Center Building is used year-round. A group of trees to the north of the buildings is in a dry, non- irrigated area. City Staff hopes to provide irrigation to that area as part of this project. He explained that failure of the water supply well at Central Park would cause significant inconvenience to park users, especially during a weekend tournament or when the Park Center Building is being used as a polling place. The motor and pump were inspected on March 10, 2017, and found to be worn and in need of replacement. City Staff recommends City Council consideration of preventative maintenance to the well at Central Park at a not-to-exceed cost of $9,000 from the Capital Maintenance Fund, which includes replacement of the existing system with a Variable Frequency Drive and pump. Councilmember Kuzma asked what the additional cost would be. Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated total project cost would be less than $9,000, and would be funded from the Capital Maintenance Fund.
