ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 17, 2022 3 <br />C. Floral Park Improvements Discussion <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen passed out a rough budget estimate for the <br />project. He stated this is an amendment to the existing contract with HR Green that was brought <br />to Council last year for the hardcourts at Floral Park. That contract is also tied to the Arden <br />Manor project. The amendment would add the overall park improvements. The entire Floral Park <br />project would come to $606,000, including design fees. There are no improvements included to <br />the baseball fields. Included is the park structure, the hardcourt and the trail. <br />Councilmember Holden asked how many trees would be taken down by the tennis courts. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said no trees will be taken down, but they <br />can cut the roots on the north side so they don't continue to push up the pavement. <br />Councilmember Holden wondered what the plan would be for the large amount of leaves that <br />fall on the court. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said HR Green will give a preliminary <br />design, get resident and Council feedback and host an open house. If they choose to eliminate <br />some trees and plant elsewhere they could do that. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reviewed photos of current conditions at the <br />park. He noted the shelter's concrete pad is in good shape and can be reused for the new shelter. <br />Councilmember Holden wondered if there was anything they could add for adults. She was not <br />for the addition of a water source. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said there is a fire hydrant that extends into <br />the park so they could tap into that line. <br />Councilmember Holmes felt if they put in a water source in Floral Park they should also put one <br />in at the public gardens, and thought they should talk about a policy first. One of the volunteers at <br />the park thought the water barrels were unsightly and caused mosquitoes so they had suggested <br />the hand pump. <br />Councilmember Holden thought they could put some screening around the barrels. <br />Councilmember Scott mentioned there is a small pond in one of the gardens and wondered if <br />they had thought about putting a water feature there, and asked if the courts would be striped for <br />pickleball. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he assumed so but that might be <br />determined by resident input. The amenities are flexible at this time. <br />Discussion continued regarding costs of engineering and amenities. <br />
