The actual cost of the five benches was $2679,materials (lumber& cement) for <br /> installation was $578 and the cost for labor to install them was $1141. There was <br /> some concern regarding the cost of the labor and whose responsibility it should be <br /> to pay for the labor costs for the installation of park projects. In the future, when <br /> a motion is made, the motion should include a request to the city to budget and to <br /> pay for the labor for the installation of park projects. This item was tabled to the <br /> August meeting. <br /> 2. Basketball Court/Backboard—Paul Palzer <br /> Mr. Palzer was not in attendance at this meeting,but information was provided to <br /> the Committee for several options for backboards. The Committee prefers the <br /> gooseneck style and would cost approximately$1500 each, for a total of$3000, <br /> plus the cost of materials to install them. This item was tabled to the August <br /> meeting. <br /> 3. Budget Projections—Pat Branch <br /> The 2014 project that the Committee is planning and obtaining bids for include a <br /> basketball court in the area of the ice arena. Other projects for the future include <br /> Water Fountains in the Laurie LaMotte and Acorn Parks, Electrical Drops at the <br /> Laurie LaMotte Park, Tree Trimming in Hidden Spring Park and a new Popcorn <br /> Machine. Currently there is $901 that can be earmarked for the Basketball Court. <br /> It is expected (or hoped) that additional donations will be received before the end <br /> of summer to allow the completion of the Basketball Court. <br /> VI.
