A discussion centered on a proposed pavilion/gazebo dominated the Nov. 20 Park meeting, with members urging staff to pursue competitive quotes and to size the structure for future use. Speaker 3 raised the possibility of expanding the pavilion and said, "If we can afford it, then we can do it for the year," indicating willingness to increase scope if funds permit.
Speakers referenced budget figures during the discussion. Speaker 2 noted a broader budget number of "$99,000," and Speaker 3 identified a park reserve figure of approximately "$11,002.03" available toward the pavilion. After debating sight lines, roof pitch and foundation options (concrete pads versus buried posts), the committee coalesced around a preferred maximum footprint of 20 by 24 feet and asked staff to request quotes for several sizes (for example, 18x24 and 20x24) and to obtain three competitive estimates.
Members also discussed installation details, including standing-seam metal roofing and delivery/set/level charges, and recommended that any vendor proposals specify whether prices are for materials only or delivered and installed. The committee asked staff to return with written cost estimates and to confirm whether a down payment would be needed if work began in the current budget cycle.
