Prairie City council approves $18,200 ball‑field rehab and moves to pursue fitness court grant
Summary
Council awarded an $18,200 contract to Diamond Doctor to rehab two ball fields at the Rec Complex and voted to proceed with fitness‑court design and pursue a National Fitness Campaign grant; memorial design for Fire/EMS was tabled for further review.
The Prairie City Council unanimously approved a contract with Diamond Doctor for $18,200 to rehabilitate two ball fields at the Rec Complex, accepting that bid over higher quotes of $25,000 and $29,975 from other vendors.
Council member Derek Ingle moved for approval; Beth James seconded and the motion carried on a roll‑call vote. The motion authorized work on two fields at the quoted $18,200 price.
Separately, the council voted to move forward with a fitness‑court design estimate and authorized staff to pursue a National Fitness Campaign grant to offset costs. That motion was made by Mayor ProTem Deb Townsend and seconded by Derek Ingle; it passed unanimously.
Council took no action on proposed Fire/EMS memorial designs and tabled that item until the EMS department and staff could obtain required bids and review designs. Preston Moon noted that Accurate Commercial was expected to pour a concrete pad for bell placement during construction, which could affect related costs.
The council recorded no public comment on these items during the meeting.
