05-20-86 Finance Comm Minutes4:00 P. M. May 20, 1986 • PARKS/FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING The combined committees met in the Conference Room, present were Councilmen Mannning, Nystul, Ruiz, Palmer, DPW Ken Hammer, Mayor Ed Kennedy, Parks Director Pieter Drent, Roger Hopkinn, DIL, and briefly, Chief Martin Stefanie. There was some discussion on the water and sewer project at Begg Field. Two proposals were received on finishing the sewer line across Airport Road, hooking into the main trunk line. LHC bid was $9,680.00 for labor with the City providing materials. The Holm Sutherland bid on our Main Sewer Phase I project was $19,800.00. The committee made a motion to let LHC do the sewer line for the labor at $9,680.00. There was discussion on the rest of the work at Begg Field. The work that needs to be done right away is the leveling and seeding of the property in the area of the ballfields. Mr. Lun Owens is working presently in that area and he will do the leveling for $6,500.00. An additional cost of about $4,000.00 will be expended for additional leveling after settling has taken place. It was decided that since this project of leveling would cost approximately $12,500, there would be a $6,000 savings at this time, to let Mr. Owens go ahead and do the project. It was the general consensus of the members present to allow Owens to do the leveling for $6,500. Billing for this will be after July 1 for that project. • The committee recommended that DPW Hammer have a memo of all expenditures on Begg Park for later transfer of monies received from sale or related to Griffin Field back into the respective departments. Parks money will be used to pay the $6,500.00 to Owens. Discussion followed on the Veteran's monument at Depot Park. The estimate came well over $25,000 so that project has now been scrapped back to square one and it was suggested that they use the original monument that was in Depot Loop Park. There was also discussion of the tree project along Main Street and First Avenue East. Pieter is to look up the original Council minutes roughly in the summer of 1978 to see what the original agreement was with the KDC on the trees and whose responsibility they would be. After the minutes are reviewed, the Mayor will write a letter with the results of those minutes as to who has the responsibility for all work on the trees lining our Main/ First Avenue East areas. It was moved that we adjourn; this was done at approximately 5:20 P. M. Ed Kennedy EK/ms •
