Parks commission recommends $27,700 McNite Fields land survey to City Council
Summary
The commission voted to recommend that City Council approve a $27,700 land survey from EG Root and Sons for McNite Fields to establish boundaries, utilities and soil tests needed before engineering designs; staff plans to reallocate existing requested funds to pay for it.
Commissioners voted to recommend that City Council approve a $27,700 land survey for McNite Fields presented by staff.
Staff said the EG Root and Sons estimate covers boundary establishment, utility mapping and soil testing — the information needed to consider engineered designs for the site. "Everyone that we got high-level estimates from were around that $30,000 range," a staff member told the commission.
The staff presentation said the city would reallocate money previously requested for Casey Lake reuse ($100,000 request) to cover the survey. The commission made a motion to recommend forwarding the EG Root and Sons estimate to council; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
No individual roll-call votes or named tallies were recorded in the transcript; commissioners voiced support during the meeting. Staff said the item will appear at an upcoming council meeting for formal approval and that the commission’s recommendation will be transmitted to council.
Commissioners asked whether the survey price is in line with market rates; staff replied that the city has used the company before and that competing estimates were similar. The commission also discussed that the McNite survey covers only the McNite property and that if commissioners want a survey of adjoining parkland they should consider a separate CIP request.
Next steps: staff will forward the commission’s recommendation to City Council and proceed with contracting if council approves funding.
