NEW BUSINESS
Discuss Park Arthur West Project
Mayor Chiaverotti suggested that since items #1 and #2 are one in the same they should be
discussed as one. Ald. Kubacki cautioned that once project is started then once done as
proposed it could cost close to 3 million. He is concerned about facility safety and the issues
with Horn & Jensen Parks structural problems. Ald. Borgman feels that it will be ok if we stay
within the budget and questioned why the Horn park building issues are just being discovered.
Ald. Soltysiak feels that the Parks Department has done a good job of stretching the life span
of both buildings and we have now come to a critical point. Park & Rec Director Anderson
stated that the plan for the short term is to use Old Town Hall and possibly the Cable Studio in
the lower level of City Hall for young children's programming - thou green space is a concern.
Ald. Wolfe questioned the need to rebuild those building - maybe move everything to the Park
Arthur site and look into ways to raise funds. Director Anderson felt there should not be
changes to the baseball fields and would not advocate rebuilding the Horn building. Ald.
Kubacki stated that Jensen park was in a low area. Ald. Soltysiak did not feel it was realistic
that we should rebuild in their existing spots as sites are not ideal for building. Mayor
Chiaverotti stated that there would several options as we get into the facilities study. In regard
to Park Arthur, tonight there are three options - 1. continue as approved through budget 2.
advance the plan and not do the grading etc. 3. do nothing. After discussion it was unanimous
to move forward with the plan and grading.
Discuss Horn Park Building
Long-Term Capital Improvement Plan
