Council moves to advance temporary staging and overflow parking at sports complex
Summary
City staff asked the council to authorize the contractor on site to install a 6-inch subbase, fabric and rock to create a temporary staging and overflow parking area at the sports complex entrance; estimated cost about $33,000 and council moved to proceed (motion seconded; final vote not recorded).
City staff asked the council to approve immediate work to create a temporary staging and overflow parking area at the north entrance to the sports complex, arguing it would reduce future rework and save money when the permanent parking lot is constructed.
The staff member said the contractor already on site for phase two grading could install a 6-inch subbase, fabric and rock across the area now, which would allow the area to serve as overflow parking during construction and reduce future grading and removal work. "It would be cost savings now. It'd be a little bit more money up front... total it would be about 33,000 to do it," the staff member said, noting rock could be procured on state bid and labor to lay and compact the material was estimated at roughly $3,750–$4,750.
The presentation included design context: Lisa from YT explained the elevation for the temporary surface may be lower than the final paved lot because it is being prepared for future parking construction, but the design has been adjusted to accommodate both short-term use and future paving. She also provided an approximate footprint for the staging area, describing it as roughly 300 by 150 feet and located just south of the ball fields between the fields and the back curve on Westburn.
After the discussion the council moved to allow staff to proceed; a motion to move forward was made and seconded. The transcript records the motion and second but does not record a roll-call or final tally.
Next steps: staff will obtain firm bids for rock, fabric and installation and return with a precise cost; if authorized, the contractor will proceed with the staging-area work during the current grading phase so the temporary lot can be used ahead of the permanent paving project.
