MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 6, 1997 <br /> (#3 - Antoine Park Update - Continued) <br /> Gerhardson said the equipment would cost about $25,000 installed not including any site <br /> preparation. Bea1 said the cost with pea rock would run $28,134. The committee <br /> members asked if the neighbors could help defray some of the cost by helping with the <br /> installation. It was noted that the equipment company would guarantee the equipment as <br /> long as a company representative was present during installation. The neighbors noted <br /> there were several construction workers amongst the neighbors and �uaranteed the <br /> neighbors would assist with the installation. It was nQted that the neighborhood survey <br /> results indicated 75% of those polled would be willing to help. <br /> Discussion was had regarding whether formal bids would have ta be taken. Gerhardson <br /> said a formal quote is required with fornial bidding over $25,000. He reported that Gappa <br /> and Moorse are in the process of reviewing whether any further bidding is required. A <br /> determination needs to be made whether the cast of the equipment can be separated from <br /> the installation and grading. Gerhardson sa.id the grading will most likely be performed <br /> through another vendor. He asked that the plan determination be made first befare any <br /> further decision making. Gerhardson noted the history of the company far this particular <br /> equipment is excellent. <br /> The Commission discussed the building on the praperty. It had been determined that the <br /> cost for razing the building would run $6,500. The building has been used in the past for <br /> starage by the City but is no longer used as such. The neighbors would like some type of <br /> shelter. The money for razing the building will not have any affect on what equipment is <br /> installed according to Gerhardson and the Park Commissioners. The building itself is of <br /> primary concern due to safety issues. It was noted that children have been climbing on top <br /> of the roof of the building. The issue of saving any portion of the building was discussed. <br /> Gerhardson noted it would have to be further evaluated before any determination could be <br /> rnade. The cost of keeping a portion of the building, meeting code and whether it is tied <br /> together structurally will be factors. The possibility of adding a new simple structure is <br /> also a possibility. Gerhardson said Staff will look into this issue. <br /> Beal suggested Staff determine casts of rehabilitation of the barn structure or a portion of <br /> it. Wilson noted that the cost of rehabilitation would most likely exceed the amount of <br /> money the park fund would have to make the necessary repairs. <br /> Beal moved, McDermott seconded, to direct Staffto evaluate the barn structure and <br /> determine a cost analysis for a usable structure on the park property of about 1/3 the size <br /> of the current barn. <br /> 5 <br />
