Mayor Noel announced that this meeting was an adjourned meeting from!
che last City Council session held July 15, 1968 for the purpose of ~ purpose of
jointly meeting with the members of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting
as well as the architect for the library buildings. ¡ stated
i
Present from the Parks and Recreation Commission: Chairman Sedlak;
Commissioners Wandry and Beard. Absent: Commissioners Gabriel and
3ieverson. Also present: Architect Bill Hedley.
Architect Hedley displayed renderings and summarized his proposal ¡
for the most feasible approach in the construction of the two multi- j
purpose park buildings. The ensuing discussion centered around the '
estimated costs of construction compared to the money available
for this purpose and possible alternatives.
It was agreed among the Council and met with the consensus of the
Commissioners to accept the proposal for the buildings as to size,
design and materials; to proceed so as to place the request for
bids as soon as possible; and, to request a base bid for the build-
ings with the patio area and site improvement as an alternate.
The decision on financing from the General Fund any excess cost over
that available for. these buildings in the Parks Bond Construction
Fund was deferred pending the receipt of the bids.
Director of Parks and Recreation Parham introduced Mr. Gil Rovianik,
the suggested landscape architect for the project. According to
Mr. Rovianik, there will be two phases to the landscape master plan,
phase 1 of which would include such items as determination of basic
requirements, preparation of design studies, drawings and estimates,
and meetings with City staff for ultimate revisions of plans; Phase
II to include both preparation and finalization of working drawings.
Mr. Rovianik pointed out that, much as had been done in the Wilson
and Portal Parks projects, the ASAL Professional Fee schedule would
be applied which, including all considerations, would amount to 35X
of the 8X of the total projected cost of ~200,000, i.e. $5600. Mr.
Rovianik also stated that a suggestion had been made for the City
staff to assist with the engineering for the project. It was Mr.
Rovianik's statement that he would prefer to have sole responsibility
for the entire project rather than having responsibilities split
between City staff and his office.

Minutes of Adjourned City Council Meeting Augùst 5, 1968 CC-21
Councilman Dempster felt that another bond issue was necessary to
initiate the remainder of the parks development as current parks
funds were depleted and that no working drawings could be considered
until it had been ascertained as to how to proceed. Councilman
Beaven agreed with Mr. Dempster in saying that he was unsure of the
Council's position at this time. In emphasizing that the architect
had submitted a cost outline far exceeding that anticipated by this
Council Mr, Beaven felt, however, that progress should be encouraged
if for no other reason than to show good faith to the people in that area.
Councilman Stokes said that it was impossible to proceed at this time
as there were no funds in the parks budget, especially in view of the
currently projected additional cost of some $5,000 which could easily
amount to $10,000 or even $15,000 ultimately,
After Director of Parks & Recreation Parham had suggested that perhaps
authorization for the master planning for the 10.97 acres park could
be given at this time and the members of the Parks & Recreation Commission
had asked to be given directives relative to the needed preparation of
plans, it was the consensus among the Councilmen that the Commission
be directed to proceed with the preliminary planning in the interim
and recommend a proposal that is workable and budgetarily feasible.
Councilman Beaven moved to refer this marter to the staff for a recom-
mendation relative to costs and possible alternates, that the assistance
from the City Engineering staff be solicited, and that the staff work
in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Commission in an effort
to determine the actual savings derived from possible dirt moving as
well as ultimate costs involved, Councilman Fitzgerald seconded and
it was passed unanimously.
Councilman Stokes moved, Councilman Dempster seconded and it was
passed unanimously that this adjourned ;neer:Ln" oe ddJ"","ned.
