Seth B mentioned that Crossbridge Church invited many city officials and thanked them for their leadership and for allowing them to become involved with community events.
Grass Seeding:
The new playground set at Washington park is surrounded by mud due to installation last year and heavy use over the summer. R and R provided a quote not to exceed $1500 for sod and installation. The item will be tabled to the February meeting.
Swings:
Discussion was had about purchasing swings at either Washington Park or 28th Street Park. In 2018, when we purchased swings at Centennial and McKinley the total cost of the two parks swing sets was roughly $20,000. It was decided that we should look at the possibility of purchasing 2 swing sets again this year and completing Washington and 28th St. When getting quotes we will be looking at cost with and without installation. Quotes should include the boarder, but mulch will be purchased separately. Motion to put the swing sets out for bid was made by Linda D and seconded by Bill S. All were in favor and the motion carried.
V Unfinished Business
Music in the Park 2020:
John F presented a schedule of events for 2020 music in the park with 8 different nights, verbal agreements from 8 different bands, and performance cost for each night. There was discussion on moving forward with food trucks for music in the park and possibly push in signs that we could use to promote the events. Discussion will continue at the February meeting.
