As requested by Ms. Kristunas, Director Westermeier provided updates on construction projects.
Rebid Central Park Drainage and Overflow Parking Project
• After installation of the geotech fabric, water was trapped between the fabric and the clay

using the compacted gravel parking lot

on the West Drive

• Cabanas are done; a few refunds have been issued due to lightning and/or thunder occurring
shortly after the rentals; in general, individuals who have rented the cabanas have enjoyed them
Founders Park Sports Field Improvements Project;and
• The fields are basically done; we did install a well to provide the necessary water for irrigation;
this cost will be offset by no backflow preventer or water bills
• Shade structures are in; finishing up the foot wash station
Hazel Landing Park Disc Golf Course
• Disc golf course is done except for the signage
