VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />None <br />CHAIRMAN'S REPORT <br />2. Livingston Park Improvement Plan <br />Meyers stated Norling's bid for the improvements at the Livingston Park amount to $43,100. Meyers <br />stated in his view the Parks Commission does not have to go with the cedar pergola for the picnic area but <br />that the pergolas at the entrances would be very visually appealing and should stay in the bid. Meyers <br />stated the Public Works Department could also perform some of the grading work but that he would leave <br />it in the bid since it is not sure whether the Publics Work Department would have time to complete the <br />work. <br />Pesek commented the pavers seem to be quite expensive. <br />Meyers noted the pavers are pasaius which is why they are more expensive. <br />Pesek asked where the money would come from. <br />Meyers indicated it would come out of the Capital improvement Fund and that in his view the Parks <br />Commission would basically be asking for the interest on the Park Dedication money that has been <br />received over the years. <br />Brenda Johnson asked if the City has looked at competitive bids on the pavers. <br />Meyers indicated this is merely a proposal and that the Parks Commission will need to decide what work <br />should be completed. Once that is determined, the City will go out for bids. <br />Brenda Johnson asked if the park dedication funds should be used in the area for which they were paid. <br />Page 1 of 11 <br />
