CIP Discussion 8/16/2007 Page 4 resurfacing, Goodpointe is scheduled to do a trail assessment this fall. After receiving this report, staff can determine what trails need to have surface work. AIl resurfacing work (hard court and trails) would be considered maintenance and therefore would come from the general fund. Current cost estimate for this project is $15,000. Trail Signage: The PTRC recommended trail signage in 2007. However, that was delayed for the official Elmer L Andersen Memorial Trail designation and until the trail inventory had been completed. The naming guidelines were established in 2007; the Elmer L Andersen Memorial Trail has been offIciaIly designated. The trail inventory is near completion. Therefore, staff has slated trail signage to be done in 2008. City resident Derrek Hames, who designed the City logo, would prepare the design of the signs. This would be budgeted to come from the Special Revenue Park Fund. Current cost estimate for this project is $25,000. CP Rail Bridge Improvements (Old Highwav 10): This was originaIly scheduled to take place in 2007. However, at the July 16th City Council Work Session, Park Funding was discussed at length. The PTRC was charged with working on a proposal for a possible park referendum project and bringing back for City Council review and discussion. Within that discussion, the City Council seemed in favor of delaying the CP Rail Bridge Improvements until after the referendum proposal came forward. Staff would like to reconfIrm that the City Council would like this delayed until that time. Current cost estimate for this project is $230,000. South Water Tower Repair: Based on the December 2005 water tower inspection report from KTA Tator Inc., repairs were identifIed to be needed in the next three years. StaffwiIl be reviewing this report and preparing projects as needed. It is estimated that these repairs will be approximately $79,500. 2009-2012 Proiects 2009 Toro Groundsmaster Replacement: Staff is reviewing all of our current equipment as weIl as our future needs. We have identifIed that a large area lawn mower would provide better efficiencies to our mowing operations. We are exploring replacing the existing 1998 Groundsmaster (6 foot cutting width) with a large area mower (11-16 foot cutting width). This item wiIl be evaluated in 2008 with a fInal request to the Council anticipated for 2009. Estimated cost $60,000. 2010 Countv Road E Bridge Improvements and trail on north side: This was originaIly scheduled to take place in 2008. However, the MnlDOT Cooperative Agreement for the bridge improvements has been unsuccessful. As stated earlier, during the Park Funding discussion, the City Council seemed in favor of delaying this project until the PTRC has brought forward a referendum proposal. Therefore, this has been moved to 2012. Current cost estimate for this project is $679,600.
