However, the southwest quadrant <br />of the park area was in the "running" as a site for the proposed fire station//2, so the <br />tennis court project did not move forward until that issue was resolved. Staff is now <br />asking for authorization to advertise for bids for the courts. Mr. Boos noted that the Park <br />and Recreation Commission expressed interest in lighting for the courts but it is so <br />expensive. For informational purposes only, however, staff is asking to also inquire of <br />the companies who bid if they will submit a lighting estimate too. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to lighting and the fact that the change to metered lighting at <br />Titterud Park courts has saved a large sum of money. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen arrived (6:22 p.m.) <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Anderson to <br />recommend Council authorize staff to advertise for bids for the provision of four tennis <br />courts for Central Park. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Anderson and Zimmerman. <br />Voting No: None. Abstain: Councilmember Hendriksen - as he was not present for the <br />discussion. Absent: Mayor Gamec. <br /> <br />Case #3: Award Bids for Alpine Parks Shelter <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos reported that in December 1998, Council approved the <br />specifications for Alpine Park's forty-foot hexagonal shelter and authorized staff to <br />request bids. That was done and bids were opened on January 15, 1999. Of the four bids <br />received, staff is recommending awarding it to the low bidder, Recreation Services, Elk <br />River. This recommendation is contingent upon their ability to match the cupola design <br />of the City's existing shelters. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/January 26, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
