Ceresco approves $158,400 splash-pad pay application; village agrees to ongoing maintenance
Summary
Trustees approved Pay Application #1 for $158,400 to Dostal Construction for the Ceresco splash pad and voted for the Village to assume ongoing maintenance responsibility, with a separate agreement to clarify fundraising contributions and cost-sharing.
The Village of Ceresco on May 20 approved Pay Application #1 to Dostal Construction for $158,400 as part of the village's new splash pad project and agreed to assume responsibility for ongoing maintenance after project completion.
Trustee Custer presented project budget items and noted three additional features have been plumbed in but not yet purchased. The Board accepted a letter from the fundraising group confirming the Village will perform ongoing maintenance and a separate agreement will define cost-sharing with the fundraising committee. Custer moved to approve the pay application and the motion passed unanimously (Yeas: Custer, Johnson, Burklund and Peterson). Another motion to accept Village maintenance responsibilities also passed unanimously.
The Park & Rec Subcommittee was asked to determine security-camera needs and draft rules and regulations for splash pad use. The Park & Rec subcommittee scheduled a meeting to discuss cameras and will return recommendations to the full Board.
Financial and next steps: Trustees indicated a second agreement will cover any fundraising committee obligations to pick up maintenance costs. The village will coordinate the schedule for installed features and remaining purchases with the contractor and fundraising committee.
Quotations from the meeting were paraphrased for clarity: a trustee asked for specifics about which parts and failures the Village maintenance commitment would cover and the Board directed staff to document scope in the follow-up agreement.
