<br /> <br />Item 7.3. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Bill Maertz, Parks and Recreation Director <br /> <br />DATE: October 17, 2005 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Update, October 2005 <br /> <br />Park Point Development: Outlot <br />As part of he plat for Kliever Park Point, the City obtained an outlot connecting Grant <br />Court to 17Sth Avenue. No trail has been constructed and this outlot has a substantial <br />grade change making it difficult to use for pedestrians. The homeowner adjacent to the <br />outlot has requested that the City make the trail connection this year. <br /> <br />Staffhas received a quote from Universal Enterprises at a cost of$19,808. This cost <br />reflects the necessity of installing a 24" culvert to allow for stormwater drainage. In <br />addition, the steep grade will require erosion control blanket. <br /> <br />The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed this request at the October 12 <br />Commission meeting. The Commission's recommendation is to include this project in the <br />2006 park improvement budget. <br /> <br />Rivers Edge Commons (Downtown Park) <br />The 200S park improvement budget included $40,000 for design and development of <br />construction documents for Rivers Edge Commons. The Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. <br />prepared the original design concept for the park in 1998. Staff requested that HKgi <br />prepare a scope of services letter for the final design, cost estimate and preparation of <br />construction documents for Rivers Edge Commons. The cost of theses services is not to <br />exceed $38,800. <br /> <br />Community development staffhas prepared a design for a signboard to be located in the <br />Rivers Edge Commons. The developer, Metro Plains, has agreed to pay for half ofthe <br />cost. Staff believes that this sign will help build awareness and enthusiasm for this <br />important project. <br />
