Committee opens discussion on City Hall and Tornado Memorial project, asks staff for river-rock and border cost estimates
Summary
The Parks and Beautification Committee voted to open discussion on a City Hall and Tornado Memorial project, directing staff to gather quotes for river rock and edging options and clarifying that City Hall building fund (not the committee allotment) would pay for building-related landscaping.
The Del City Parks and Beautification Committee voted to open discussion on a City Hall and Tornado Memorial landscaping project during its Feb. 3 meeting.
A committee member moved to open the project discussion and another seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion passed to open the topic for committee consideration.
Committee members reported the Tornado Memorial area has irrigation issues that have been repaired but persistent erosion and shallow beds that make planting difficult. Members discussed using river rock to stabilize and tidy the beds and considered brick edging as an alternative. One member described the memorial beds as "huge" and said they would likely require multiple truckloads of material.
JD Hawk advised that repairs or landscaping directly tied to City Hall would come from the City Hall building fund rather than the Parks Committee’s $12,500 allotment, and staff was asked to obtain river-rock quotes and bricking-cost estimates for review at the next meeting.
No purchase or formal contract was approved at the Feb. 3 meeting; the committee voted only to open the project's discussion and requested staff return with cost and scope options.
