<br />Case #1: <br /> <br />2007 Park CIP Projects <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood reviewed the projects in the 2007 Parl< CIP with the Commission. <br />He noted the projects are primarily funded by the Parl< Trust Fund and Lawful Gambling <br />Improvement Fund. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood explained Phase 3 development of Elmcrest Park which will consist <br />of trees, shrubs and perennial plants throughout the park, an arched bridge on the most northerly <br />wooded trail, the addition of a couple of zones of irrigation; and possibly a modest parl< entry <br />sign for the neighborhood connection at Uranium Street if the budget allows. <br /> <br />(The first part of the third phase of Elmcrest's development was the base bid irrigation and a <br />small portion of the landscape materials; and was approved by City Council in November of <br />2006 at $55,000.) <br /> <br />The landscape element is significant with many hundreds of shrubs and flowers, as well as 230 <br />cubic yards of hardwood mulch. Ramsey Cub Scout and Boy Scout Troops #362 both have <br />volunteered to perform the majority of this part of the project with staff on the third weel<end in <br />May. This volunteer labor contribution is estimated in excess of $8,000. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns asked if the bridge will replace a part of the bituminous path at north part of <br />the parl<. <br /> <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood responded yes, and indicated the bituminous path does flood at <br />times and they will use the bituminous path for the abutments for the bridge. <br /> <br />Riverblood reviewed the Fox Park boardwall< project. As part of the 1995 development of the <br />parl<, a boardwalk was constructed to connect two halves of non-wetland area in the park. Storm <br />events and other factors necessitate its replacement. <br /> <br />He noted they would lil<e to replace the north and south parts of the boardwall< with an eight <br />foot wide boardwall<. This would be an approximate $12,000 expense. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns wondered if they will be l<eeping the seating area. <br /> <br />Parl<s Supervisor Riverblood indicated they would. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Olds, seconded by Commissioner Shryock, to recommend City <br />Council approval of the 2007 Capital Improvement for Elmcrest and Fox Parks. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
