Summary

Council voted 6–1 to reallocate $34,000 from a Jim Wood Park crack-seal budget line to cover a shortfall on Beatty Park shelter bids; staff reported a roughly $42,000 funding gap for the shelter project.

City staff told council that bids for the Beatty Park shelter left the project about $42,000 short of available funding. Engineering Director Mike Dolak said the base demo bid was $45,207 and a rebuild option was $127,870; after insurance and grant funds, staff recommended reallocating $34,000 from a planned Jim Wood Park crack-seal project to complete the shelter work.

City Manager Michael Johnson moved the reallocation recommendation and council approved the motion by roll call: six ayes (McManamon, Terpenning, Walker, Albaugh, Gorman, Hoover) and one no (Mayo). Johnson said the $34,000 would be used for Beatty Park while the crack-seal work at Jim Wood Park would be deferred or funded later if a grant becomes available.
