<br />Brokke went over details on the renewal funding and expenses. There were a total of 77 projects <br />and this was the largest construction project for the city. The projects are 95% complete and the <br />majority of the work should be done in 2016. Brokke reviewed the original budget, award <br />amount, current spending and the difference. The total amount of funds not spent is $435,464 <br />under budget. It was noted the ASU estimate of added costs due to the litigation was 12%. <br /> <br />Becker-Finn suggested adding handicapped push button access to the new park buildings, if there <br />is funding available.

Brokke <br />thanked the Commission, the Community, the City Council and Staff for all the support on the <br />park renewal projects. Brokke said Jeff Evenson, park superintendent, did a great job of <br />managing all the projects. <br /> <br />The Natural Resource program will be continuing in 2016. O’Brien said there were comments on <br />nextdoor.com regarding the resource program in Materion Park. Some neighbors were concerned <br />about the changes taken place. Other neighbors were able to respond and explain the changes <br />were for the benefit of the park. It was good to have their involvement. Brokke said Stantec, the <br />Natural Resource contractor, has recently received $300,000 in grants. <br /> <br />Stoner commented that the revenues listed for the new park building rentals was very good and <br />over original estimates.
