City to move $89,350 in savings to fund Aldermat Park pathway
Summary
Council approved transferring $89,350 in savings from Helman Park Phase 2 to complete a deteriorated pathway at Aldermat Park, with staff confirming signs and renderings will be posted prior to demolition and construction.
The council approved a Parks and Recreation request to transfer $89,350 in savings from the Helman Park Phase 2 project to fund pathway reconstruction at Aldermat Park. City staff reported the Phase 2 contract came in under estimate, leaving savings available to fund needed accessibility and pathway repairs at the neighborhood park.
Mr. Spiller, speaking for Parks and Recreation, said the Phase 2 estimate dropped from $1.6 million to approximately $1.4 million, freeing about $250,000 in savings; he requested $89,350 be reallocated to the Aldermat Park pathway. Spiller said the pathway replacement will improve access to a recently installed inclusive playscape and that signage and renderings will be posted before any demolition. Council members asked for and received confirmation signage would go up ahead of work; the motion to transfer funds carried.
