WEST LEACH RESTROOM RENOVATION

20-PARK-001

Description:

The proposed project will renovate the restroom facilities at West Leach Park.

Justification:

The current restroom facilities are in need of renovation due to age and vandalism.

Budget Impact:

The project will have minimal impact on the budget.

POOL HEATER REPLACEMENT

20-PARK002

Description:

The proposed project would replace the heating unit at the Spencer Aquatic Center.

Justification:

The current pool heater is warrantied for seven years which is the amount of time that the heater has been installed.

Budget Impact:

PEDERSON PARK LINE FENCE

20-PARK-005

Description:

The proposed project would replace stretches of fence at the ball fields.

Justification:

The current fence is 40 plus years old and is rusting. The fence posts are also compromised. Replacing these would eliminate possible safety issue during games.

Budget Impact:

PEDERSON PARK BLEACHERS

21-PARK-003

Description:

The proposed project would consist of replacing the current bleachers at Pederson Park.

Justification:

The current bleachers have significant age and could become a safety concern if their replacement is not addressed.

Budget Impact:

Vehicle Replacement

21-PARK-004

Description:

The proposed project would purchase a new 3/4 ton pickup that would replace unit #144.

Justification:

Vehicle # 144 is over 20 years old and is becoming less reliable and increasingly difficult to maintain. The purchase of a new 3/4 ton pickup would be more reliable, efficient and financially easier to maintain.

The new vehicle would be equipped with a tommy gate lift and the ability to attach a snow plow on the front end.

Budget Impact:

Native Prairie Seeding

22-PARK-001

Description:

The purpose of this project tis to purchase native prairie seed, design, and incorporate them into several parks. They would be designed to function as both an educational opportunity as well as park beautification. There has been a significant interest in pollinators throughout the country and I think Spencer has an opportunity to incorporate native prairie into our parks that have larger green spaces. These seeding's could provide educational opportunities for citizens of all ages and abilities. The species incorporated into these seed mixes would have the ability to provide flowering plants throughout the spring, summer, and fall creating additional beauty within the parks. An added bonus to these would be decreasing the area the park staff has to mow on a weekly basis allowing staff to be more efficient with their time.

Justification:

Budget Impact:

Shelter house Lighting

22-PARK-002

Description:

the purpose of this project is to install lighting in both the Deerfield and East Leach Shelter houses.

Justification:

The current shelter houses at both parks currently have no lighting (Deerfield) or very poor lighting (1 light in East Leach). The main reason to incorporate these lights is to decrease the chance for vandalism and increase security at these parks after dark. The second reason would be to promote the use of these areas, this would increase the likelihood that these shelter houses would get used more often for a variety of events, dinners, and get together.
