Program has been up and running there has been 1.15 miles of trail
laid down. This time frame indudes training a new crew. The cost
on Lindsey Trail came to $44.82 per foot. The price is lower than
usual due to no bridges or lights. Terry looks forward to working on
Indian Trail, Clabber Creek, Crowne Trail, Mudd Creek, Scull creek
and Frisco Trail as weather and obtaining nght of way allows, or
making sure Water and Sewer completes their job before going in to
do that section of trail.
Terry Gulley gave a handout on concrete construction year to date,
covering sidewalks. Maple is close to completion. The sidewalks
were formed by the sidewalk crew to maintain the historic look Of the
area. There was a large pour for the new Solid Waste compound
that came to about 1/4 acre. Next the sidewalk in front of City Hall
will be replaced.
It was reported by Terry Gulley that Steve Hatfield is not In
attendance due to a funeral in the family and that he is leaving the
City of Fayetteville. His last day will be December 27"'. He plans to
work here locally in the trail industry He has been very instrumental
to the city and we wish him well. There will be nationwide
advertising for a certified landscape architect to head a progressive
trails program.
Other business — Steve Mashburn wanted to know why Steve Hatfield
was moved from Parks to Engineering. Terry Gulley explained this
change came from the mayor to give Steve a strong support system
on design so he could use more time focusing on obtaining right of
way for the trails. Steve had to educate the public about something
that did not exist. Once a trail is built and people can use it and
enjoy it they support it. Prior to that, it is a hard concept to
comprehend Steve had to sell a concept to people, that was not
tangible, and he was good at it. It is also takes a lot of time. That is
why Steve was given the support of Engineering.
Meeting adjourned.
