COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />5.01: River's Bend Park Shelter Replacement — Issue Request for Proposal <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood provided background information on the idea <br />to replace the shelter. He stated that the idea is to replace it with a modern shelter with a flagstone <br />floor, a fireplace with a pizza oven, a dino dig, and a hand pump for water. He estimated a cost of <br />under $130,000. <br />Commissioner Anderson referenced flooding that previously occurred at this park. He asked if <br />the new materials would be flood -resistant. <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood confiiiiied that the materials that could be <br />prone to flooding would be designed to accommodate that, and the other elements would be built <br />up at a higher elevation. <br />Councilmember Buscher agreed that this sounds like a good idea. <br />Commissioner Sis asked how they would publicize this new opportunity. <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood commented on the different marketing they <br />would use, but also believed that word of mouth would do a sufficient job of advertising as well. <br />Commissioner Olson commented that he likes the addition of the water for washing and pets. <br />Motion by Commissioner Sis, seconded by Commissioner Arts, to proceed with issuing an RFP <br />for the replacement of the south shelter at River's Bend Park as discussed. <br />Motion carried.
