WORKSHOP
SKATEPARK CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT & FUNDING
Mark Thompson, Parks Services Director, gave a status report of the skatepark. About 4 to 5
years ago the City adopted a Master Park Plan that included a Skateboard Park. Since that
time a group of citizens organized and raised $100,000 for the construction of the skatepark.
The City agreed to contribute $75,000 and received grant funds in the amount of $75,000.
Originally it was thought that construction of the skatepark would cost approximately
$250,000. But due to rising costs the price has increased. Per Mr. Thompson the Skatepark
Committee reviewed alternative plans and is recommending Alternate 1 which will cover
approximately 9,500 sq. ft. Mr. Thompson is requesting $98,685 from the City to be able to
complete Alternate 1. Another option provided by Glen Arterburn, Chairman of the
Skatepark Committee, is for a modular skatepark. This option could cost approximately
between $250,000 to $275,000.
The Commission agreed that the Skatepark Committee should discuss the options again and
come back with a unanimous decision of the option they want to recommend.
