After consulting with city building maintenance and planning staff, they sought an estimate for the <br />construction of a 20x28 sf paver stone patio which would include edging, decorative rock, accent boulders, <br />shrub/perennials, and four low-maintenance privacy panels. The patio would meet ADA requirements. <br /> <br />This proposal was not included in the budget or previous Capital Improvement Plans. Cost estimates for <br />construction and furnishings are approximately $50,000. At least two formal quotes would be requested, and <br />the project needs City Council approval. The administration suggests using Public Safety Aid funds allocated <br />by the State of Minnesota. <br /> <br />Review Public Safety Aid expenses and balance. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The proposal meets the requirements set by the State of Minnesota for Public Safety Aid funds. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The Elk River Mission - Meet changing needs - Agile <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
