Civil Engineer II Linton stated once paved, it should be fifty percent done but there is still a lot of <br /> trail work to be done. <br /> Commissioner Ostrum asked if there were any contractor penalties for not getting done on time. <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton stated there was not. He would also recognize there was a lot of clay <br /> soils there and if it had not been dry in July and August, he did not believe they would be as far <br /> as they are in the process. He stated it was moving forward and by the next meeting, they should <br /> have major improvements done. <br /> Chairperson Johns wondered if they should move October's meeting to Elmcrest Park, weather <br /> permitting, instead of South Park. <br /> The Commission agreed. <br /> Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood updated the Commission on the trail to be connected to the <br /> neighborhoods around it.
