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 /> <br /> <br />2.Basketball Court/Backboard – Paul Palzer <br /> <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 /> <br /> <br />3.Budget Projections – Pat Branch <br /> <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 /> <br />VI. UPDATES <br /> <br /> <br />1.Council Updates – Council Member Steve King <br /> <br />Mr. King reported that an additional $500 donation was recently received by the <br />Lions. There is a purchase agreement between the city and the St. Paul Water <br />District for the purchase of the land by Trailside Park. The City Council adopted <br /> <br />the third revision of the Chain of Lakes-Bald Eagle Trail Plan. <br /> <br /> <br />2.
