OLD BUSINESS
Reso. #173-2005 - Award of Bid - Idle Isle Park Shelter. On the floor, deferred
9/13/2005. A draft of the agreement between the City and Water Bugs Ski Team was
discussed. The proposed agreement will outline the portion that the organization will
pay for use of the Idle Isle Pavilion ($94,390). The $94,390 represents 34% of the total
contract cost for the building, which is $274,900. Some of the aldermen expressed
concern about awarding the bid without a signed commitment from the Water Bugs.
Ald. Melcher stated the Water Bugs are well aware of the dollar amount and are willing
and able to commit to paying their portion. He believes the organization has sufficient
supporters that will provide assistance. Ald. Buckmaster stated the Parks & Recreation
Board has given this project priority and has approved the expenditure. Ald. Schroeder
stated that the proposed building contains improvements specifically for the Water
Bugs. He believes if the Water Bugs cannot pay their portion, the project should be
scaled down and rebid. Ald. Buckmaster disagreed stating the Parks & Recreation
Board has covered everything. He believes the building should be there whether the
Waters Bugs use it or not.
Ald. Schroeder moved to amend to add, “BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That prior to
September 23 the Water Bugs Ski Team will provide the City with a letter stating their
support for their portion of the contract in the amount of $94,390 to be paid over a
period of ten years.” Ald. Patterson seconded; motion carried. The Council agreed to
defer the item to the September 27 meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
Ald. Patterson moved to adjourn at 7:18 PM. Ald. Borgman seconded; motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
