Allen Fields master plan approved; committee schedules survey and moves toward skate‑park slab
Summary
The committee reviewed council approval of the Allen Fields master plan and agreed to order a boundary survey after July 1 to finalize slab placement for the proposed skate park and pump track. Staff will post the approved plan online and begin procurement steps for surveying and site work.
Shay reported that the Allen Fields master plan was presented to the village council and approved with minimal questions. Committee members discussed immediate next steps, emphasizing a property survey as the first priority to confirm boundaries before design or construction begins.
The group agreed that a purchase order to Line of Sight Surveying should be issued after July 1 so Carl (the surveyor) can begin field work in early July. Members noted that once the boundary and site survey are complete, they can finalize the skateboard slab location, pump track layout, and required grading; the committee discussed phasing the work so the skate‑park slab, pump track, bathroom, and lighting would be phase 1, parking and field improvements phase 2, and a recreation center or track/field items could be phase 3.
Shay said she will post the approved master plan on the village website and social channels for public access. Committee members also discussed seeking quotes for construction and design elements and identified the need to coordinate with potential donors and contractors for pricing. Estimated slab budgeting and contractor outreach were discussed but not finalized. The committee set follow‑up tasks for posting the plan online, confirming survey PO timing, and reviewing contractor proposals once the survey is complete.
