-42- <br /> <br />Case//14: Authorize Alpine Park's Players Bench Area Improvement <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that with the Park and Recreation Commission's Five <br />Year Capital Improvement Program (C~) was a recommendation for improvements to the <br />player's bench areas of Alpine Park's ball fields. This project will fund exposed aggregate <br />concrete around all eight players' benches. The 35 yards of concrete will also connect the <br />player's benches to the walk opening at the backstops. Adding a concrete surface in these high- <br />wear zones will be an aesthetic improvement over the usual muddy or eroded conditions. The <br />greatest benefit, however, will be reducing maintenance in the heavy traffic areas by creating a <br />permanent surface. All eight of the "dugouts" are prepared and ready for concrete. Six quotes <br />were obtained, with the lowest cost of $8,200 offered by RSO Custom Concrete of Ramsey. <br />Approving this project would result in completion before the first May baseball game. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to approve a not-to- <br />exceed amount of $9,000 from the Lawful Gambling Fund. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, and Councilmembers Zimmerman, Cook, Elvig, <br />Kurak, Pearson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />MAYOR AND COUNCIL INPUT <br /> <br />1) Weekly Update-Town Center <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig noted that in the Council's Weekly Update it stated that the Ramsey Town <br />Center developers will unveil their proposed final sketch plan. He felt that it should state that the <br />Ramsey Town Center LLC will present their final sketch plan since the Council has not seen the <br />plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember Kurak inquired if the meeting with the Ramsey Town Center LLC and the City <br />Council on May 1, 2003 will be televised. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman replied that staff would contact QCTV to make sure the meeting is <br />televised. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson noted that an ad was written to be used on the website and <br />Cable TV regarding the Town Center Plan and the language from the Council's weekly update <br />was not included in that ad. The language in the ad was more general. <br /> <br />2) Trail Funding <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted that he had spoke with Mr. Oberstar in regards to his attempt to receive <br />funding for the City of Ramsey to link bike trails. He noted that he will keep the Council <br />informed as to the status of the possible funding. <br /> <br />City Council/April 22, 2003 <br /> Page 20 of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
