Lions Club proposes $175K–$200K pavilion rebuild; asks Antioch for ~$55K contribution
Summary
The Antioch Lions Club presented plans to replace and renovate the Williams Park pavilion, estimating total project costs of roughly $175,000–$200,000 and requesting about $55,000 from the village to cover materials and electrical work; trustees expressed support and discussed funding sources.
Representatives of the Antioch Lions Club presented a multi‑phase plan to renovate and replace the Williams Park pavilion, telling trustees that structural review showed the existing pavilion has reached the end of its useful life and that full replacement is more cost‑effective than repeated repairs.
The Lions Club reported bids that placed total project costs between about $175,000 and $200,000. Club leaders offered to donate the bulk of labor and sublets and asked the village to contribute roughly $55,000 toward materials, electrical work and site services. Lions Club representatives said they would manage contractor selection and much of the volunteer coordination.
Trustees and staff discussed potential village funding sources, including reallocating capital budget items, and asked that the MOU include a clear exhibit listing responsibilities. The board indicated general support and said staff would work to refine contract language, exhibit lists and the village contribution, and that any final allocation would return to the board for approval.
Trustees also asked about project timing and maintenance responsibilities; staff said typical contract paperwork and insurance certificates would be required before construction begins.
No final appropriation was approved at the meeting; trustees moved to place the MOU and associated funding discussion on a forthcoming regular agenda once final figures and the MOU exhibit are prepared.
