~~r ~~ J <br />( Item <br />~ ~` <br />ity of ~ MEMORANDUM <br />River TO: Mayor & City Council <br />lk • <br />FROM: Phil Hals, Street/Park Supt. <br />DATE: July 24, 1995 <br />SUBJECT: Woodland Trails Park <br />As the construction progresses, it was suggested that concrete curb and <br />gutter be considered for the entrance road and the parking lot at Woodland <br />Trails Park. This would total approximately 2,000 lineal feet of curb and cost <br />about $18,000. The matching grant funds could be used for the curbing, but <br />that would lessen the distance of trail that we could pave. For instance, we <br />are planning to pave 12,000 lineal feet of trail. Reducing that to 8,600 lineal <br />feet would pay for the curbing. <br />Another possibility would be to partially pay for the curbing with surplus <br />funds from the installed materials, which I estimate would be $6,000 to <br />• $9,000. However, there is no way to know that number until the final <br />quantities are tabulated. <br />The Park and Recreation Commission considered this issue and voted 6-1 to <br />support the addition of curb and gutter and to fund as much as possible with <br />grant funds and the remainder with park dedication funds. <br />I will be present at the 7/24 Council meeting to further explain the funding <br />issue as well as to answer questions. <br />• <br />5.9a. <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
