Parks Director stated $15,000-20.000.00 was budgeted in 1986 to complete this site. since the fill was obtained at no cost, original grading was $3,000, with this expenditure for finishing the total cost would be approximately $10.000.00, which is well under budget.

Sather moved, seconded by Peck, that Council approve the expenditure of $5,600.00 for the final grading and redistribution of topsoil at North Snelling Park.
