96 <br />Special Council Meering <br />6/4/90 <br />Page 2 <br />Mayor Carmen said he thinks what everyone is saying is right but he thinks they are talking about a <br />couple of different things that aze inter-related. He said they need to prioritize the items--whether <br />they are more interested in pursuing a municipal complex or purchasing the golf course or possibly <br />doing both. Mayor Carmen said he thinks if they would meet with the contractors on an informal <br />basis and tell them what we want that their price would be less than half. <br />Mr. Hovancsek explained that the low point is east of the ball diamond by the creek. It will take <br />about $20,000 to do the storm sewer, inlet and catch basin work. <br />Discussion was held about the bids received. <br />Mr. Pietrafese said they are sitring with the kids not having a place to play. <br />1V[r. Rinker said they should not try to do a"cadillac" field this summer. <br />Mr. Amendola said they tried to obtain a roller/dozer to grade the fields and get rid of the lumps of <br />clay and then roll it. They can not put grass in now; the season is gone. They could make other <br />decisions after this season and plant grass for next year. <br /> <br />Mr. Pietrafese said he would like to see drain rile put in this year. We could borrow a straight-blade <br />grader from A&J if we need it. He said we should talk about putring lighring and drainage in at the <br />same time so the field would not have to be dug up again. <br />Mr. Fixler said that after the fields are graded, they will not be able to be used for 4-5 days or more <br />after it rains. He said that we have the monies from the children to play ball. <br />Mr. Pietrafese asked if there were any alternate playing areas. <br />Mr. Ross said the School Board will give us three fields at the High School on the weekends. The <br />fields at Lander and Gates Mills could be used. He could put something together piecemeal but the <br />people would have to go all over the place and it would mostly be on weekends. <br />Discussion was held. <br />Mr. Hovancsek said the center of the diamond should be built up and we would need to get the <br />sewer to drain by the creek. He knows a contractor who does hydroseeding. Within 3 weeks the <br />grass would look like carpet. <br />IVIr. Ross said he would like to start the teams piecemeal. <br />Mr. Pietrafese suggested starting the season in July. <br />Mrs. Mills asked Mr. Amendola to obtain an estimate for the grading work and for Mr. Hovancsek <br />to get an esrimate on the hydroseeding. <br />Mayor Carmen said that Council could authorize work on the fields up to a certain number of <br />dollars now by morion.
