5. Park Land Dedication Fund Request: Alison Jumper, Park Planner
Parks and Recreation Staff is requesting $11,165 from the Northeast Park District
Fund for the Braden Park Development project. Currently there is $40,000
funded for the project. Arkansas Parks and Tourism awarded $40,000 in
matching funds for the development of Braden Park. In addition, Covington POA
is donating $10,000 to the project which makes a total budget of $90,000. Bids
were opened in June and were over the budgeted amount. We estimate the
August 1, 2005 / 3
$11,165 added to the project budget will be sufficient funds for this project to
proceed according to the plans approved in the Braden Park Master Plan.
Davidson inquired if this amount will fully fund both phases.
Jumper said the amount is for phase I only.
Davidson asked what the cost of phase II would be.
Jumper said phase I consists of the walks and playground as the bulk of the
construction with phase II being minimal consisting of the fire pit and other
miscellaneous items for completion of the park.
Edmonston stated the staff has met with the citizens of the community and has
received the approval for the project to be completed in two phases.
Marley asked why the bids were over the original estimated cost.
Jumper said only one bid was receive due to the fact it is difficult to get bids on
small projects.
Edmonston said Fayetteville costs of these types of projects is high.
Marley asked if future projects could be planned for in-house construction.
Edmonston said that possibility is being considered.
PRAB Motion: Mauritson moved to permit use of $11,165 from the
Northeast Park district funds for phase I of the Braden Park
Development project. The motion was seconded by Davidson.
The motion was approved 7-0-0 with Hill, Mauritson, Bailey, Langsner,
