APPROVAL OF AGENDA APPROVAL OF MINUTES - February 11, 2014 Alderman Kubacki made a motion to approve the minutes of February 11, 2014, Alderman Wolfe seconded. Motion Passed 6 in favor. 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.
