The comp/OT reports for PPE 5/14/00 and 5/28/00 were reviewed. Mary was instructed to pay
out 26 hours of comp to Larry McCann. She will also check into rearranging the computer
report for ease of reading.
The committee reviewed the payroll registers and recommends approval of the payroll for PPE
5/14/00 ($89,401.19) and 5/28/00 ($89,721.74).
Larry McCann presented cost estimates for Fir Park development of the soccer field for a total of
$260,500.00. The school district and YMCA are interested in a cooperative project with the city
for a new pool. The creation of a citywide park maintenance district would be beneficial to
promote these projects. Lengthy discussion followed and questions were raised. The city
attorney will be consulted on both the park maintenance district planned for 2001-2002 and the
soccer field project agreement between the city and school district.
Mary stated that she needs to complete the wage study and would like to have meetings next
week to discuss wages and the budget summary worksheets. The taxable value will not be
released until July. The committee will meet on June 13th, 14th, and possibly the 15th at 7:00 p.m.
to continue work on the budget.
Larry brought up an employee matter. Mary told the committee that the health insurance
premium from YCHP is going up 24.2 %, but there are optional plans. An insurance committee
meeting will be held as soon as the New West premium increase is known.
The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m. The next regular meeting will be Monday, June 19th at 7:00
p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Clerk-Treasurer
June 5, 2000 Cost estimates for complete development of Fir Park
These cost are based on unit bid prices for project this year.
The property elevation change is a cost that is hard to predict. The contractors on our water project and the
5th Ave rebuild are hauling the material. These were actual savings in those contracts estimated on 5th Ave
to be $25000.00 and the water lines at $12000.00. The other item that is not accounted for is the use of the
project for training. The crews will train on grader operation. The operator will teach others how to
effectively use the grader.
The city will haul from the river about 4000 cubic yards of gravel. This is expected to take one week 4 men
at an average cost of $2232.00 plus equipment costs of $5600.00. = $7832.00 ~ /37/'~. ~
f~ ~'
Not included in this estimate is the time for PWD to set grades and the 81000 square feet of geoteck fabric
to prevent alkali form migrating up under the field. The fabric costs are less the 5 cents a square foot.
Water and Sewer lines to the concession stand as drawn on the plans by Myhre Atwood Architects.
Water from the comer of 8th and Fir
6 inch PVC ~ $16.25 foot*510 feet = $8287.50
Valves ~ $700.00 * 2 = $1400.00
Tee joints ~$375.00 *2 = $750.00
Fire Hydrant & Valve = $4000.00
2 inch water connection 120 ft ~ 10.95= $1314.00
Estimated Water =$15751.00

Side walk curb and gutter on East 8th Street from Elm to Fir North side
Curb and Gutter = $3847.00
Sidewalk = $2850.00
Total on 8th Street = $6697.00
Total work on all street Curb & Gutter and Sidewalk and paving for Fir Park = $177958.50
Estimate for all internal Curbing and Walkways $43644.10.
Estimate for lawn sprinklers in landscape areas out side of the soccer field. = $6500.00
Estimated cost to build out Fir Park as drawn, excluding Skate Park and Community Center = $26~483.60
These costs do not include maintenance of the soccer field. Maintenance of the concession stand and other
areas will be at our costs unless negotiated as part of the agreements with organizations wanting facilities in
this park. At this point we are looking at a minimum one more seasonal worker for the parks. Employee
costs are estimated at 960 hours at $7.00 = $6720.00 annually.
With South Pond development and this development the City of Laurel is reaching the point that we need
to put on one more full time person at the shops. This person would be split between parks, streets, water
and sewer.
