These are tables made <br />with recycled materials that will be heavy and bolted down as to not be vandalized. The committee did <br />not feel $7,600 for tables and $1,000 for benches was out of line for ones that will be permanent. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Chairperson Seeley, seeonded by Viee-Chairpenon Amundsen to <br />reeommend that City CouneD aeeept the bid for mdden Spring Park as is, including Alternative <br />#2, Pimie Tables and potentially reducing the amount of engineering serviees required. All in <br />favor. Motion earried nnanimously. <br /> <br />From the June 26, 2007 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes: <br /> <br />The committee's original motion was to include the picnic tables in the bid, but due to an oversight by <br />the engineer, the tables were omitted from the bid. This was discovered at the City Council Meeting <br />where the bid was awarded. Mayor Capra requested Vice-Chairperson Amundsen recommend tables <br />to be purchased to Council for approval. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairperson Amundsen has spoke to Mr. Peder Peterson, Hugo Lions, regarding the tables that <br />are in the Hugo parks as they are very heavy, maintenance free tables that Vice-Chairperson <br />Amundsen noticed while at Good Neighbor Days. Mr. Peterson said they previously had wooden <br />tables that required annual scraping and painting and were constantly being moved as they were so <br />light. They replaced those with maintenance free tables made of recycled materials, but they were still <br />too light and were being moved and vandalized also. The tables they currently have are heavy enough <br />that they do not have to be bolted down. They purchased 8 - 10 tables for under $10,000 that came <br />unassembled and were put together by Hugo's Public Works Department Mr. Peterson gave <br />Chairperson Amundsen the contact information and he will get more details. The committee felt a <br />motion needed to be made at this meeting as they will not meet again until after Fete des Lacs and the <br />park dedication. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Chairpenon Seeley, seeonded by Committee Member Selander to <br />reeommend to City CoaneU the approval of the purehase of picnic tables based on research done <br />by Viee-Chairpenon Amundsen, not to exceed $10,000. AD in favor. Motion passed <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />c <br /> <br />~a.-, <br />
