Eunice approves $98,342.48 renovation to expand City Lake amenities
Summary
The Eunice Board approved a $98,342.48 contract to renovate City Lake bathrooms and add kayak and fishing rental amenities, saying the project is included in the city's budget.
The Eunice Mayor and Board of Aldermen and Alderwomen voted April 8 to approve renovations and amenity expansions at City Lake, accepting a contract for $98,342.48 and saying funding is available in the city budget.
Mayor Scott A. Fontenot announced that City Lake, a 58-acre facility, will receive refurbished bathrooms, a kayak dock and launch, rental kayaks and fishing equipment, and office furnishings. The mayor summarized the bid breakdown presented to the board: refurbishing bathrooms $63,000; kayak dock/launch $26,000; kayaks for rental $6,000; fishing equipment rental $700; office furnishings $1,200. The mayor said the project "is in the city’s budget."
Alderman Randall Reed moved to accept the renovation and expansion, Alderwoman Germaine Simpson seconded, and the motion carried. The board approved the contract amount of $98,342.48, which the minutes note is close to the bid total presented (approximately $98,000). The record does not specify the contractor's name beyond the bid totals.
The approved work is intended to expand recreational use at City Lake by improving permanent facilities and adding gear for on-site rentals. The board did not set a start date in the minutes; the mayor indicated further plans will be made to complete the rehabilitation.
