MINUTES: Minutes of May 20, 1985 were approved as mailed. BUSINESS: I. C.D. Report: Combs Park and Charles Finger Park 1985 C.D. funds in the amount of $8,725 were dedicated to Combs Park for an entry road and gravel parking lot. Sandra Carlisle, C.D. Director, stated that the bid award for engineering services of the project will be at the City Board meeting on June 18. There was only one bid received from Milholland Engineering and Surveying in the amount of $5,272,57. Carlisle explained that there were two problems with the project: 1. No facilities can be built on the flood plain with C.D. funds. 2. There is no actual legal description of the land. This would leave a balance of $3,452.43 for Combs Park construction Charles Finger Park was allotted $20,000 for land acquisition. Carlisle reported that she was waiting for the second appraisal of the acquisition of approximately 2.75 acres south of the park. Carlisle estimated the appraisal to be approximately $11,000. The parcel of land is 498' x 200'. Carlisle stated that after the cost of the additional land at Finger Park is determined, the balance of the money will be transferred to Combs Park (approximately $9,000). Carlisle speculated that construction of the entry road and parking lot at Combs Park would be out for bids in September or October. PRAB RECOMMENDATION: To concur with any additional funds left from Charles Finger Park to be applied towards construc- tion of the entry road and parking lot at Combs Park. II.

PRAB also discussed the possibility of filling the tower up with concrete to prevent the leakage. The Board was concerned if Mr. Fourt required a yearly drawing down of the lake in order to restock it. Liaison Chairman, David Lashley, will followup with a letter to Mr. Grimes and Mr. Fourt.
