Alderman liaison says skate park cost-sharing agreement and final design moving to aldermen
Summary
Ward 2 Alderman Tyler Hoven told the Park Board the cost-sharing agreement for a skate park and a contract for final design work by SWT are both under city attorney review and will go to the Board of Aldermen for approval; final design and scheduling will follow approval.
Tyler Hoven, the newly introduced Ward 2 Alderman, told the Park Board on June 9 that the cost-sharing agreement for a planned skate park and the contract for final design work with SWT are in the city attorney’s review and will be submitted to the Board of Aldermen when finalized.
Hoven said both the cost-sharing agreement and the agreement for SWT to complete final design work should be presented to the Board of Aldermen simultaneously. "Once those are approved, final design work will be completed and the park can proceed with construction," Hoven said. He did not provide a timeline for design completion.
Why it matters: The skate park site was described as the hillside area near the ball fields in City Park; board members said the facility will be sited to avoid conflicts with ball-field use. Once constructed, skate-park maintenance would fall to park maintenance staff.
Discussion details: Hoven said the agreements are progressing through legal review. The Park Board and Parks staff noted that final design approval will allow work on surrounding infrastructure, including eventual roadway and maintenance access improvements on Burke Circle.
Ending: The board will monitor the Board of Aldermen’s action on the agreements and expects final design to follow approval by the aldermen and city attorney.
