URS Study on Old 1OIRailroad Bridge Trail <br /> . Have reached a stumbling block with respect to the budget. <br /> . The Park Budget is outside the realm of the URS budget because they now have to bring <br /> in structural engineers. <br /> . IfPTRC still wants to continue on with the study a recommendation should be make to <br /> take to Council for consideration. <br /> Chair Henry asked how much it would cost for the study. Mr. Moore stated that it would cost <br /> approximately $2000. <br /> Mr. Moore explained that the need for the structural engineers is because they do not know how <br /> far down the structural posts actually go. He further explained that they should do borings in the <br /> area to determine how deep they actually go. He stated that based on what they find would <br /> determine which of the three options they would consider. <br /> . Committee Member Thompson asked if the dollars would come from the Park Fund or the <br /> General Fund. Mr. Moore stated that City Council would probably take the funding from the <br /> General Fund. He indicated that there would probably also be some discussion regarding the <br /> Parks Fund noting that the remaining funds, available after Perry Park, would be approximately <br /> $150,000. <br /> Chair Henry stated that they should find the funds for the project. Committee Member <br /> Crassweller agreed. <br /> Motion by Committee Member Crassweller, second by Committee Member Messerly to locate <br /> the funds and provide recommendation to City Council to move forward with the study.
