APPROVAL OF AGENDA No agenda used one item for discussion 3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES of August 7, 1986 4. OLD BUSINESS a. Discussion: Recommendation for Award of KFP for Memorial Park Project At the last meeting, the Committee requested several items be included or deleted from the RFP and the architects submit proposals by Friday, August l5th. This meeting is to discuss and make that recommendation to the Cnunri). The concrete walkways were discussed. Mr. Kluge had indicated that if federal funding were to be used that concrete walkways were required. The Committee questioned how much walkway would be included for the prices given and perhaps eliminating some of the walkways to include only paths leading from Frontage Rd and Spur Hwy to the gazebo, or to use asphalt. The Committee next discussed dirt work. One proposal did not indicate dirt work at all. The Committee will request of Mr. Kornelis estimates on how much fill could be used in the low area adjacent to Ryan's Way. Also, how much of the dirt work would the City crews (at a time when not busy with other projects) be able to perform, The Committee agreed that hydrnneeding probably would not be necessary as the green areas are sufficient at this time. The Committee asked Nr. Hulthorg and Mr. Siebert for input on the maintenance aspects of the plans thus far. Mr. Hu)tbecg asked for what additional maintenance the park would incur. Answer: additional watering of trees, additional trash pickup, and additional flower beds, but no additional mowing as trees, flower beds, and gazebo would MEMORIAL PARK COMMITTEE August 19, 1986 Page 2 VOTE: VOTE: remove some grass areas. Dick Holthorg asked, as the dirt work appeared to be the major difference in price, did each architect know whether the City would be doing the work. It was not ascertained. Mr. Hultberg voiced concern over the possible vandalism particularly to the plagues. Pat Porter explained that the plagues would probably be made of a material other than the brass and would be implanted in the ground for easy mowing and would be much harder to vandalize. NOTE: Mayor Wagoner joined the meeting The Committee discussed the uignago indicated on the proposals and decided that this would be an issue after the proposal is awarded. MOTION: Committee Member Sheldon moved to accept Mr. Gintoli's proposal not as stands, but with further additions or corrections, and recommend this to the City Council, seconded by Committee Member K.

COMMITTEE COMMENTS QUESTIONS Dr. Hansen informed the Committee that many contributions were coming in nearly every day to the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. These contributions are not only in money but people who ask what they can do and along the lines of volunteer help, this is where we can make use of these ceoourcen. Some of these funds and help could be used for the fountain or the sign as well as the trees and plagues. 7. ADJOURNMENT There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjnornod.
