The Common Council approved a $607,039 contract with AstroTurf Great Lakes to replace field turf at Hart Park Stadium and authorized a level‑3 fund transfer not to exceed $690,000 from flood-recovery donations to cover the work. Committee members supported the contract unanimously but flagged the risk of rebuilding in an uninsured floodplain and urged creating reserves for future events. The item passed without opposition. Councilmembers said the gift supporting reconstruction was generous, but some urged prudence given the possibility of repeat flood damage.
