Board approves concrete picnic shelter rebuild at Memorial Park using banner funds
Summary
The Park Board approved Option 2 for the Memorial Park picnic shelter rebuild (concrete slab option, estimated ~$22,800) and authorized using banner-program funds to cover the cost; members stressed attention to long-term maintenance and design details.
Staff presented three options to rebuild the Memorial Park picnic shelter, with estimated costs ranging from a grass-footed traditional shelter (~$14,000) to a concrete-slab option (~$22,800) and a higher-cost canopy-style alternative. Board members discussed maintenance trade-offs, longevity, and whether banner-program funds could be applied; staff and members confirmed available banner funds would cover the selected option.
After discussion about soffits, post wrapping, and long-term maintenance, the board moved to approve Option 2 on a concrete slab and directed staff to use banner funds. Board members emphasized choosing materials and construction details to limit future maintenance burdens. "If that's the case, then in my opinion, the money is nicely balanced," Kevin said when comparing estimates and available funds.
