North Park court surfacing quote nearly doubles; board pursues grants and fundraising
Summary
A contractor quoted about $22,000 for North Park court surfacing—up from an earlier $12,000 estimate. The board is pursuing AARP and Iowa Foundation grants, expects roughly $3,000 remaining to fund, and will seek further cost estimates for tree removals.
During the North Park Recreation Plan update, staff reported a surfacing quote of approximately $22,000 for a new court, up from an initial $12,000 estimate. Mason McMillen said additional estimates for tree removals around the new court are forthcoming.
The board discussed grant applications to the AARP Flagship Grant and the Iowa Foundation for Parks & Recreation, and noted the 4th of July Committee plans to contribute funds contingent on the grant outcomes. Current fundraising and pending grants leave the project about $3,000 short of the estimated total, according to the minutes.
Board members asked staff to pursue additional estimates and grant funding to bridge the shortfall; no final procurement decision was made at the meeting.
