Council approves up to $40,000 for park irrigation, grading and hydroseeding
Summary
After receiving bids, the council approved irrigation and turf restoration work for the village park with a motion capping combined contracts at $40,000; a resident pledged a substantial anonymous donation toward the project.
The Village Council approved contracts to install irrigation and to regrade and hydroseed the park lawn, agreeing to a motion that capped the total cost at $40,000. Mike Mumper described plans for irrigation, grading and hydroseeding and moved to approve two proposals — Down to Earth for $19,000 and Serviscape for $20,260 — and then amended the motion so the total would not exceed $40,000; the council voted 5-0 to pass the amended motion.
Mumper said the work will be fenced off while new grass establishes, but the playground and pickleball court will remain open with adjusted access. A resident who asked to remain anonymous offered a substantial donation to support the project; the council said that donated funds plus capital-improvement budgeted money will be used to pay for the work. Council members emphasized timing was important given seasonal weather.
