MEMORANDUM CONSENT
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Mark McQuillan, Natural Resource Director
Subject: Approval to Use Park Reserve Funds for Huber Park Project
Date: August 5, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The City Council needs to approve the use of budgeted funds in 2003 Parks Capital
Improvement Program for improvements to Huber Park.
BACKGROUND
The City's Parks Capital Improvement Program identifies $100,000 in 1003 to begin
adding fill to Huber Park. There may be opportunities for the City to acquire fill at a very
low costs or possibly free. Besides the dirt needed to fill the park, there are other related
costs to consider. Those costs include:
. Silt fencing/erosion control
. Stormwater sewer extension
. Dozer rental
. Dust coating
. Signs
. Seeding
Staff estimates these costs at about $25,000. Some of the work can be done in-house and
some by private contractors. How much work can be done in-house depends on the
availability of the Public Works crews. At this time, the City has access to dirt from the
new Scott County Jail Site. We are preparing to accept the fill by mid August.
The City Council needs to first approve the allocation of the funds identified in the CIP
before work can begin in the park.

Improvement Program for Huber Park.
