Elk River Public Library Board Page 2 <br />October 4, 2017 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The windmill has rust in a gear box and is not working. His staff <br />have talked to the windmill designed and will meet next week to <br />find a solution. <br /> <br /> Due to several significant wind storms this summer, parks staff <br />were re-focused on tree removal and clean up in the parks and <br />the stump removal on library grounds had to be put on hold. He <br />will make sure it is done before the snow flies. <br /> <br /> The CIP’s for $10,000 for the patio furniture and $20,000 for <br />parking lot lighting are set for approval in December by City <br />Council. He doesn’t see any issue with this getting final approval <br />by Council. <br /> <br /> Tim provided handouts of several types and manufacturers of <br />permanent patio furniture. The example from Wausau is what the <br />city purchased for Rivers Edge Commons Park and it has worked <br />out great. He had seen this same brand and style when he did a <br />tour of Shoreview Parks and Recreation and 8 years after they <br />purchased their furniture, it still looks brand new and they have <br />had no issues. Tim also provided photographic samples of <br />benches and trash receptacles that could closely match the tables. <br /> <br />The tables from Wausau that Tim recommends also come <br />handicap accessible and can take an umbrella. Rather than a fixed <br />umbrella that can never go up or down, Tim recommends <br />purchasing some umbrellas for much less money at Menards that <br />Library staff could put out at special events. <br /> <br />If there was a trash receptacle outside, parks staff will check the <br />trash bin on Monday and Friday when they do their trash run at <br />all the other city park locations. <br /> <br />Moved by Willie Jackson to purchase two (2) handicap <br />accessible tables, one (1) bench with a back and one (1) <br />trash receptacle pending final budget approval in December <br />2017, seconded by Mark Keifenheim. Motion carried 4-0. <br /> <br />Tim Sevcik will provide final costs for these four items in January <br />2018 and will purchase thereafter. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
