Staff provided updates on ongoing capital work and near‑term project plans. They said three change orders have been issued for construction work, related to structural foundation adjustments and shop‑drawing revisions; those changes reduced the original contingency of $39,510 to a remaining contingency of $18,031 and raised the total construction contract to $973,054. Staff noted three pay applications have been processed (about $275,000 total).
On Kennedy Park, staff reported a $10,000 payment to Remco for shed demolition and associated electrical relocation work. For Perkins Road, staff said preliminary engineering, survey work and cost estimates are complete and that staff and consultants (IMEG) are working with the Sanitary District on an intergovernmental agreement for funding; additional information is expected in January.
Staff outlined Phase 2 of the Prairie Leeward master plan — priorities include soccer fields, accessible parking, an accessible loop trail, and utility/infrastructure work required to enable later amenities such as a playground, spray ground and courts. Staff said the project will be bid with multiple alternatives to help protect the budget and that grant funding, donations and DCO funding are expected to be part of the funding mix. The board discussed field layout and parking; no final design decision was recorded in the provided segments.
