PRESIDENT’S REPORT<br />
Police Department Parking Lot Expansion -- Chief Baird presented a spread sheet showing<br />
the probable construction cost <strong>of</strong> $75,888.00 which includes a 10% contingency. Alternate Bid<br />
#1 was $85,018.45 and included filling cracks and seal coating and striping; Alternate Bid #2<br />
was $112,298.45 and included grinding edge <strong>of</strong> pavement along the curb and a 2 inch overlay.<br />
Board discussion included the budgeted $27,000; construction requirements; tree removal; if<br />
anything could be done with the wood from the removed trees; potential savings in other areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> the police budget and phasing the project. It was determined that after several tries, there<br />
was no one that wanted the wood and that the tree removal and engineering costs could be<br />
taken from this years budget with the remaining costs coming from the FY 05/06 budget. The<br />
Board requested that Mr. Pries, Mr. Schiber and Chief Baird look at financing, construction and<br />
saving options and report back at the next <strong>meeting</strong>.<br />
