MEMo <br /> DATE : May 29, 1998 <br /> TO . Park and Recreation Committee <br /> FROM : Jim March <br /> RE . LaMotte Park <br /> ***********************************************�***************** <br /> It is time for the Park and Recreation Committee to officially <br /> request the City Council to allow that authorization be made for <br /> the City Engineer to proceed with plans and specifications for <br /> LaMotte Park. I would like to see this project bid mid-summer. <br /> If the bids are favorable, we should expect to see construction <br /> beginning late summer. The base course for the parking lot <br /> should be installed this year. <br /> I have asked Dave Nyberg to be present at the June 3 meeting. we <br /> have had meetings on site with Kate Drewry from the Rice Creek <br /> Watershed District. It appears we may be able to save some money <br /> on the construction of the pond. We need to be able to prove <br /> that this wetland was manmade. We are in the process of <br /> verifying old aerial photographs and are seeking an affidavit <br /> from Dan Tourville who says he witnessed when this wetland was <br /> created by the party farming this parcel many years ago. This <br /> information will be compiled and submitted to RCWD as part of our <br /> permit. <br /> The 1997 City audit has been completed and as of 12/31J97 the <br /> park fund had a balance of $108,829. This does not include the <br /> park dedication fees from the Lakeland Hills development or the <br /> Parkview development. This will be an additional $61.,500. <br /> , <br />
