Discussion:
Three park projects are being presented for discussion and confirmation to proceed by the City Council as follows.
Quarry Lake Park Improvements (PR-18-001) - The 2018 project contained in the CIP includes the Phase 2 planned expansion of constructing a trail around Quarry Lake, constructing an amphitheater on the northwest side of the lake, and correcting erosion issues along the northwest side of the lake. A professional services agreement with WSB is in place that was previously approved by council. The plans are currently 90 percent complete. City staff and WSB are prepared to proceed with completing the plans and specifications, bidding, and construction commencing in 2018.
Lions Park Rink and Lights (PA-18-11) - The 2018 project contained in the CIP includes the replacement of the lights and hockey rink. There has also been discussion about setting this rink up for possible refrigeration cooling of the ice in the future (note: this option is not contained in the current CIP). If desirable, setting the rink up now would include installing the tubing in the rink's pavement as part of this project.
Lions Park Warming House (PA-18-14) - The existing warming house was removed in late 2017. Plans have been developed and have been bid in the past without awarding the project due to project cost. The 2018 project contained in the CIP includes the current configuration of the warming house (with garage), which will support the Lions Park hockey/skating rink.
