<br />The estimate for the retaining wall was $30,000. It also included the resurfacing with <br />the new standard in the park’s Master plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft asked if the community would be involved in the planning of play ground <br />equipment in the playground by Flynn. Ms. MacCartney said that there was no <br />formal organization group there but since she only lives three houses away from <br />Mooney she knew the passion of the surrounding area. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe asked if it was a matching grant and Ms. MacCartney said the grant <br />provided $75,000,and the City was to provide $91,000. Ms. Watson noted that it was <br />in the FY 11 budget and is in the CIP plan. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci’s point was that the information Council received was very scant and did <br />not even provide where it originated from. It did not identify funders or contractors. <br />Ms. Ricci noted the resolution says the City deems it necessary to improve Mooney <br />Park with new playground, an initial grant application was submitted and the State of <br />Missouri recommended funding and that was the substance of the resolution. <br /> <br />Ms. MacCartney stated that the Council passed a resolution when she submitted the <br />grant application originally to the state. She noted this is the resolution that needs to <br />go to the National Parks’ Service which is providing the money as a pass through <br />from the state so the Council has seen this previously. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci stated she has no doubt but noted that Ms. MacCartney raised a point that <br />it is hard for the Council to make good decisions in isolation. <br /> <br />Mr. Glickert asked Ms. MacCartney where she got the cost figures for replacing the <br />retaining wall. Ms. MacCartney said her staff was very talented and was able to get <br />an estimated cost. She said the retaining wall would be this year and the playground <br />equipment would be next year and did not include the basketball court. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci asked if Ms. MacCartney if there was no time to postpone this as it was a <br />decision needed now. Ms. MacCartney said she was required to have this in the mail <br />by June 1. Ms. Ricci asked to provide more lead time. <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci withdrew her motion to postpone. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe moved to approve the resolution, seconded by Mr. Crow and was passed <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch asked Ms. Watson to be sure that all the background information be <br />included in ongoing issues in the Council packet. <br /> <br />BILLS <br />Mr. Glickert introduced <br />1. <br />BILL 9075 – An ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 6810, and approving the first <br />amendment to the redevelopment agreement for the Kingsland Walk redevelopment <br />area, and authorizing certain actions by city officials. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 7 <br /> <br />
