He said he would like to have the park completed by <br />the 150 year Sesquicentennial. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard asked if the grading and hiring for pavilion would be <br />completed by July. <br /> <br />City Engineer Statz replied he believes it could. He stated what takes the largest amount <br />of time is waiting for the equipment subsequent to placing the order. He explained this <br />could be turned around within two months from conception to bid and construction <br />would take about a month. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding warrantee information. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra asked if the trails are paved. <br /> <br />Mr. Amundsen replied that realistically they would initially be constructed with a plastic <br />type material and upgraded later. He said he just wants to get the park established and <br />place picnic tables and grills in the park this year so people could start enjoying it. <br /> <br />Mr. Amundsen stated that grant monies may be available from the Minnesota Pollution <br />Control Agency and Rice Creek Watershed for the rain garden and the Parks and <br />Recreation Committee would be applying for same. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard questioned whether there still was time to submit grants for <br />this project. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding funding options.
