Another deletion may be the aggregate stones suggested for a border, plus some of the plant <br />materials could be reduced, as well as some of the varieties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen inquired if these items would be deleted altogether or would they <br />just be delayed for a time. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos suggested that staff would give the bidder a not-to-exceed dollar amount but to begin <br />with the deletion of the rock and the irrigation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen felt the landscaping proposal was a good one and suggested maybe <br />a phasing-in plan. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to prairie grass and wildflower plantings of which Mayor Gamec <br />expressed his dislike. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works Kapler explained that the side of the Public Works facility facing the <br />main road would be manicured. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen suggested using hybrid ornamental grasses for the prairie <br />plantings. <br /> <br />Mr. Kapler pointed out that the fenced in area is proposed to also serve as an impound lot for the <br />Police Department. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to recommend <br />City Council authorize staff to confirm the fencing quote with the contractor; amend the <br />landscape plan based upon quotes to ensure the $23,728 is adequate to complete both projects; <br />and schedule and order both projects for a completion date before June 30, 1998. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, Beyer, Beahen and <br />Zimmerman. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> <br />Case #2: Peltzer Park Redevelopment <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos reported that City Council authorized $35,000 from the Park <br />Improvement Trust Fund for Peltzer Park playground. He noted the results of the survey done <br />with 120 households where 76% indicated an interest in redevelopment of Peltzer Park. The <br />majority specified playground equipment, benches and native grasses as their priorities for this <br />park. The Park and Recreation Commission developed a request for proposal using the <br />information gathered from the survey conducted. Mr. Boos added that the Park and Recreation <br />Commission recommended that the existing play equipment be offered to the public via sealed <br />bids. The bid forms would be available at the Commission's booth at the Environmental Expo. <br />He noted that the City Attorney has deemed that there are no liability concerns if the purchaser <br />sign a waiver. The Commission has also requested that the proceeds form the play equipment be <br />added to the Peltzer Park redevelopment budget. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/March 24, 1998 <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
