Board reviews Luzerazzo Park estimates; fencing and sidewalks prioritized within $50,000 allotment
Summary
City staff presented cost estimates for Luzerazzo Park improvements including fencing (~$21,600 for 900 linear feet) and sidewalks (~$27,000); staff said the $50,000 allotment can begin basic work and the board discussed priorities and installation responsibilities.
City staff (Speaker 11) briefed the board on a package of park projects including Luzerazzo Park, a proposed skate park, and community‑garden agreements. For Luzerazzo Park, staff provided rough cost estimates: commercial‑grade fencing for three sides (900 linear feet) at approximately $21,600, and sidewalks from the corner to parking and around to the first driveway estimated at about $27,000. Staff said these figures are preliminary and that installation or additional work (crossing a drainage ditch) would raise costs.
Speaker 11 said the skate‑park request for proposal is in legal and financial review and that both Luzerazzo and the skate‑park projects will await council approval by resolution. The Matthew Davis Memorial Bench is installed pending a plaque and family content for an online memorial. Board members discussed priorities, noting that ground cover (rubber mulch) is required for swings to meet recommended safety standards and that sidewalks might be funded from other city allotments rather than the $50,000 park budget.
Staff asked for direction on where to start; board members suggested fencing and basic amenities first, with lighting and other wish‑list items to follow. No final action or contract award was taken; staff was directed to return with refined estimates to allow a potential action the following month.
