HOCKADAY ART CENTER
Councilman Saverud requested the Council Members review the minutes and be prepared to
act on the recommendations regarding the Hockaday Art Center at the March 16, 1987
meeting.
GRIFFIN FIELD
Councilman Manning introduced Resolution #3718, a resolution of intent to modify the
Downtown Redevelopment Plan by approving a certain Urban Renewal Project.
He explained this resolution paves the way for a public hearing concerning the
relocation of Griffin Field. A price has to be set for inclusion in the resolution.
Parks Superintendent Drent banded out a list of proposed costs for the project to build
the new ballpark and discussed the list. The total price of the package is $257,000.00.
Councilman Ruiz recommended the entire project be done in one package so that the costs
can be handled through the Tax Increment District funding authority. He also requested
the funds advanced from the Parks Department be included in the cost of the project.
The council discussed various line items in the proposal. The proposal costs do not
include the funds already spent on the project.
Parks Superintendent reported he felt about $20,000.00 could be pared from the costs.
Councilman Nystul suggested the project funded from Tax Increment should only include
the cost of one field as that is what needs to be replaced. He estimated the cost
figure should be about $200,000.
City Attorney Neier said this resolution should reflect the amount to be provided by
the Tax Increment District.
Ed Gallagher stated there was money in the Tax Increment Fund to cover costs for this
fiscal year and the rest can be budgeted next year.
Councilman Manning moved adoption of Resolution #3817 with a figure of $220,000.00 to
be expended from the Tax Increment District and the matter of the reimbursement to be
handled elsewhere. Councilman Palmer seconded.
The motion carried upon roll call vote.
The Public Hearing was set for April 6, 1987.
SIDEARM LOADER
Councilman Ruiz reported there is now available a "Universal Arm" which can pick up all
three sizes of container. The price is $6,500.00 and if we order this week we can save
on freight since the truck is already scheduled to bring a loader to Helena.
Councilman Ruiz moved the Public Works Department be authorized to buy the arm subject
to the approval of D.P.W. Hammer. Councilman Saverud seconded.
After discussing the need and advantages, the council passed the motion with Councilman
Nystul voting no.
