 3.         400 WEST PARK RESTROOM CONSTRUCTION, PROPOSED REDEVELOPMENT

EXPENDITURES  - Approved

 

Nick Tatton presented a list of proposed projects to be considered by the Agency for the Fiscal Year 2002-03, which totals $215,000.  The amount of funds available is $118,000.  Included in this list is $40,000 for playground equipment for the Heritage Park.  Due to the nature of the park, he understands that no playground equipment has been planned, and as such, the $40,000 can be deducted from this list.  The items most interested in are the gazebos and kiosks.  He requested that the Board select the items on this list or add to it and direct him to proceed.  The only one committed at this point is the Creekview project for $19,880.00.  Gary Sonntag stated that Chairman Piccolo has approached him to reconsider building a restroom in Heritage Park and to utilize Redevelopment funds.  Pat Larsen stated that $118,000 was left over from last year=s budget and there is $65,000 budgeted for this year for those restrooms.  If the restroom project does not go over $118,000, the $65,000 can be used for the proposed projects.  Besides the playground equipment, the Board recommended that decorative street lights for Main Street in the amount of $68,000 be removed from the list.  MOTION.  Boardmember Tatton moved that priority be given to the construction of restrooms in the 400 West Park and that whatever funds are left over, that they be applied to the proposed Redevelopment expenditures as long as they don=t exceed the balance in the budget, with the exception of the $19,880 planned for the Creekview project.  Further, that Gary Sonntag be directed to discuss with the architect any possible changes to reduce the overall costs of the restrooms and that he be authorized to advertise for the construction of the restrooms.   Motion seconded by Boardmember Wheeler and carried.
