Park ball diamond fill- there are four diamonds at the park- main, parking lot, south and cornfield diamonds. The material was placed on the diamonds in 2014. It is mostly rock and gravel. There were three estimates provided to replace the material. The Bryan Rock material estimate is $50, 339.64, Kafka Total Mix $84,700.00, Kafka Top Dressing only $13,654.51. The third option is not recommended. Stoflet said there have been complaints about the material on the diamonds. It is preferred to do all fields at the same time. The cornfield diamond may need fill. Bryan Rock is the preferred choice. There would be an additional cost for removing the old material and spreading the new material. No cost estimate for this has been received yet. How would the costs be shared? The school may be interested in sharing some of the cost. Other possibilities could be the Village, Lion’s Club, Park Association and Youth Softball. This will be on the next agenda. Connor Street- Mike Voss from MSA was present. He would like someone from Steen to look at what is needed to be repaired. If Steen doesn’t fix immediately, should we hire a professional landscaper to complete the project? Mike will email Steen tomorrow with a completion date deadline. 5-year CIP plan- MSA has the changes for the CIP plan. Mike Voss will update the project lists and provide the new plan.
