Park and Recreation Renewal Program 5. rd On Monday, April 23 the Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the City.A 30 day period is allowed for an appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court. If this occurs, then the Supreme Court can either accept or reject the case. If an appeal happens within the 30 day time frame, it is anticipated that it could take around 30 days for the Supreme Court to decide whether they will hear the case. If an appeal does not happen, the program will continue. When projects can begin is still undetermined. Funds will be released when the legal challenge is resolved. It was anticipated that the entire PRRP would use the Best Value Procurement method with the first step of hiring a lead consultant to assist with plan timing, neighborhood meetings and initial design work. This is extremely important at least for the larger construction projects such as the buildings and shelters. As time moves on, we are nearing a concern stage for being able to construct this season. However, there are some projects that are more straight forward than others such as the playground replacements. Enclosed is a copy of the 4 year renewal program to refer to as we discuss potential timing and scenarios of projects. No future meetings have been scheduled. Requested Action : Hear update, discuss 2012 projects.
