City of Centerville <br />City Council Meeting <br />September 10, 2008 <br />City Administrator Larson reported that during construction on Main Street, the <br />construction crew hit a gas main again when digging. <br />2. Park Updates (Mark Statz~ <br />a. Trade McBride Renovations <br />Councilmember Lee reported that, when walking through the site, a series of <br />workmanship issues were noted. He stated that a lot have been taken care of; <br />however, the touch-up paint is not acceptable. Also, regarding the merry-go-round, <br />the vendor said all they have to do is lower it 3 inches, but the only good fix would <br />be to pull the slab and redo it from the ground up. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that the vendor would reinstall the merry-go- <br />round, and they are talking about bringing it down to 12" for 2-5 year olds. <br />Councilmember Lee stated that, if they are going to lower it, it should be lowered <br />to a better level. He acknowledged that it would be a big job to do it. He stated <br />that they were told the contractor did not get the installation instructions from the <br />vendor. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that the contractor wants to do more work within <br />the City, so they will fix it. <br />Mayor Capra stated that she would like to see list of things Parks & Recreation <br />feels the contractor should do. <br />Councilmember Paar stated that he is opposed to the contractor going down to 12 <br />inches and thinks it should go down to the minimum of 6 inches. <br />City Administrator Larson stated that they need to be cautious on how they direct it <br />to be lowered. They should specify that it should go as low as it can go within the <br />safety standards. <br />Councilmember Paar stated that there are also other items need to be fixed. <br />Motion by Council Member Broussard-Vickers, seconded by Council Member <br />Lakso, to direct the vendor to fix the merry-go-round grade to the lowest level <br />allowed by the safety standards. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. <br />City Administrator Larson replied that they need to make sure they had funds <br />allocated for that work. <br />Page 8 of 10 <br />
