~-------- - ------ - - -- Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes June 26, 2007 bad a $500 budget for this project from the City. What the motion from Parks & Recreation actually said was the City would fund half of the project, not to exceed $500, with Mr. Weigel raising funds for half of the project. Mr. Weigel does not have to raise funds.. for this type of project to qualify for an Eagle Project. Since it is directly benefiting the City, Mr. Weigel can supply the labor and the City supply the materials. If it is the committee's desire to fund this project not to exceed $500 without Mr. Weigel raising funds, a new motion will need to be made.

Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Weigel also met with Mr. Joe Goetz at Goetz Iand~ regarding plimts and retst-ining wall blocks, as well as a possible discount for supplies. Goetz Landscaping does not carry retaining wall blocks, but is willing to give wholesale costs on plants and boulders, should the flower bed retAining wall be made out of boulders opposed to blocks. The OOtnmittee felt the retaining wall block will look cleaner and be easier to trim. Menards or Home Depot carries the retaining wall blocks. Mr. Weigel will work with Mr. Dallas Larson on the estimates and purchase orders required. In discussing this project it was decided by Staff that the location of the current monument sign is not in a favorable position and as long as it is being completely redone, now would be the time to move it Public Works will stake a new location and will inform Mr. Weigel of the City's decision to change the location. Staff is also in the process of determining the best way to get the flower beds irrigated on a regular basis. The new location will be closer to the fire hydrant Mr. Weigel will discuss a possible drip line with Goetz Land9l'.aping, as well as Public Works looking into watering options for this park, as well as the other parks.
