Request for Final Payment— Hackberry Park Improvements <br />Murphy moved, and Sansevere seconded, to approve Request for Final Payment, <br />Hackberry Park Playground Equipment Project to ODESA Construction, Inc. in the <br />amount of $13,156.27. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />*11.

Navarre Fire Station Project Development Costs <br />Gappa stated that wetland mitigation was recommended to be done on -site in order to <br />facilitate approval by the MCWD in an expedient manner. He stated that the Navarre Fire <br />• Station project is on the MCWD agenda for February 27th, with the Highway 12 and <br />Dahlstrom issues. Bonestroo engineers were working on a new mitigation plan that shows <br />15,000 s.f. of new wetlands and uses Public Value Credits for the remaining 5,000 s.f. of <br />wetland mitigation to be submitted to MCWD on February 11th <br />• <br />Nygard asked about the installation of a helipad. Murphy stated it could not go on the <br />station roof because of the required structural supports. White stated that there was a <br />helipad for the water patrol in case of a boating disaster. Mayor Peterson stated they <br />should find out where area helipads are. Moorse questioned how much space is required <br />to land a helicopter. White stated it would require 120 s.f. <br />Moorse stated that the on -site mitigation of the wetlands would use a large amount of park <br />area, but not the most desirable areas. The installation of a skating rink would depend on <br />what sort of rink is desired— whether it would consist of a flooded area or a full size rink <br />with hockey boards. White stated that the rink at Casco Point would be only 1 %2 blocks <br />away from the fire station. He felt the new rink would result in a high investment and a <br />low return. <br />Murphy stated that the first priority is the permit from the MCWD for the fire station, but <br />that they should remain open to the possibility of a skating rink later. <br />7 <br />
