Short‑term skate‑park phase 1 pegged at about $20,000; volunteers supplied most labor
Summary
Staff told commissioners phase 1 of the short‑term skate‑park refresh is roughly $20,000, with an estimated $14,000 in volunteer labor and $6,000 in materials; the city has so far paid only an $870 permit fee.
Staff provided a phase‑by‑phase cost estimate for the short‑term skate‑park work. "Oh, $20,000 for phase 1," one presenter said, and described the breakdown as roughly $14,000 in volunteer labor and about $6,000 for materials; the city has covered an $870 permit to date.
Commissioners highlighted the magnitude of volunteer contributions and said the advisory committee had run an effective grassroots project. Staff noted that donated labor must still be capitalized for asset accounting but that the volunteer value was substantial in making the project possible.
Next steps: staff will continue coordination with volunteers and produce more detailed line‑item estimates for materials and scheduling before phase‑2 construction.
