<br />.... <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council Members <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Kim Stephan <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />August 6, 2009 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Final Payment to Bonestroo - Hidden Spring Park <br /> <br />The following excerpts are from the August 5, 2009 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes: <br /> <br />Hidden SOrin2 Park <br /> <br />Mr. Mark Statz, City Engineer, made an appearance at the August 5, 2009 Parks & Recreation <br />Committee Meeting to discuss final payment to Bonestroo for Hidden Spring Park. There were two <br />outstanding items yet to be completed, which have now been finished. <br /> <br />Mr. Statz stated they are finished with everything on their checklist and part of agreement was that <br />Bonestroo would forego payment for Engineering Services until all outstanding issues were resolved. <br />At this time they would like to ask for final payment of $4,472.41. <br /> <br />Chairperson Seeley agreed that the items were completed, but wanted to make a general statement <br />regarding the park. She said that while this park was a long, complicated process, at the time we were <br />trying to get it done fast (in time for the August Festival) and there were many things that were not <br />accomplished as envisioned by the committee, but currently every time she goes to the park she can't <br />help think what a beautiful park it has turned into. Committee Members and Council Member Lee also <br />reported comments they have received from residents regarding the park and the public's overall <br />perspective seems to be that Hidden Spring Park is a wonderful addition to Centerville's park system. <br />Chairperson Seeley also stated that while the committee still hopes something can be figured out to get <br />water flow from the hidden spring; the mature trees, the layout of the park, the raingarden and <br />plantings have evolved into a wonderful park. It is also hoped the lake shore plantings fill in more in <br />the next few years and the park becomes less maintenance than it was this summer. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Chairperson Seeley, seeonded by Committee Member Amundsen to <br />recommend City Council issue final payment in the amount of $4,472.21 to Bonestroo for <br />Engineering Services at Hidden Spring Park. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br />
