He explained that <br />the Park Commission has been developing plans for upgrading Navarre Park. The planning <br />process has included substantial input from neighborhood residents. No improvements <br />have been made to this park for many years. Many homes in the surrounding area are <br />located on small lots without room for recreational opportunities on their property. <br />The proposed project includes new playground equipment, trails, landscaping <br />improvements, lighting, handicapped accessible parking, picnic tables and benches, tree <br />planting, and installation of water service for a drinking fountain and yard hydrants. <br />Gappa stated that the project is unchanged from previous plans except for the addition of <br />screening trees along the park's boundaries. <br />Mayor Jabbour questioned the cost of the park improvements. Gappa stated that the grant <br />application is for $160,000: $80,000 from the City and $80,000 from the DNR grant. <br />Kelley questioned the City's financial commitment if the grant is not received. Gappa <br />explained the proposal is for a total project of $160,000. If the grant is not approved, only <br />an $80,000 project will be constructed. <br />Mayor Jabbour asked if there were any public comments regarding the Navarre Park <br />improvements. There were none. <br />Mayor Jabbour closed the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. <br />Sansevere moved, and Kelley seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 4432 approving the <br />Local Government Resolution for Navarre Park Improvement. <br />0 <br />
