ADMINISTRATION
(8.1) Report on bids for Project Number 96-973, Ivey Park Water
Feature.
Steve Snyder, Director of Parks and Recreation, explained
the bids
received. As
requested by
Commissioner Divine, he explained that Alternative
Number 1 was
for sidewalks
and Alternative Number 2 was for a pump
station,
and that both
can be done in house. He clarified that there will be no fencing
involved and
detailed his
risk management discussion with Mike
Morgan,
Deputy City Manager. He
also clarified that this land was acquired
from the
school district
in 1974 and a
water feature has always been part of the
plan.
Moved by Commissioner Perney, seconded by Commissioner Seaton, to
award the Base Bid for Project Number 96-973, Ivey Park Water Feature, to
Johnson Farms, in the amount of $36,825.
Helen Kearn, 2351 Aurora Avenue, informed the Commission that she
had asked Staff how much a permanent sump pump at Oxbow Park would cost
and was told it would be too expensive ($60,000). The Ivey Park project is
estimated to cost $59,000. She suggested a Flood Water Commission be
established to discuss flooding. She also suggested developing duel purpose
parks which could also be used in times of flooding for water storage. In
closing she asked if the Ivey Pond could be used for this purpose.
Mr. Snyder responded that this development will hold some water as
land will be excavated and removed by the contractor. He deferred to Don
Hoff, Director of Engineering and Utilities, to identify flood water retention
capacity, however stated that water from the south and some water from the
west will drain into the pond with water from the north and east of the feature
following its established course.
Mr. Hoff and Dennis Kissinger concurred that this feature will have
very little impact on the flood problem.
The Mayor called for a vote to the motion on the floor. Aye: (5) .
Nay: (0). Motion carried.
None.
