Skate Board Park Brent distributed information to the board regarding the proposed skateboard
Discussion board stating the fast site determination then specifics and design. The board
met with five local skaters to determine which pieces of equipment would be best
suited for the park. Request for proposals were mailed to vendors and two
responses were received with the low bid of $82,750 received from Athco. The
low bidder was asked to report on what kind of park we could get for $60,000.
The suggestion is to break up into two phases with phase (1) $33,850.00
and phase (2) $23,745.00 and $700 Supervision/Installation.
Staff and members of the Park Board visited an Athco designed pazk on November
8m at the City of Blue Springs at Old Mill Park and 15-20 skaters were using the
skating facilities.
The Northpointe Fellowship Church volunteered 20 people to help with the
installation and assembly of the skateboard park, which will lessen the cost of
installation from $2,050 to $700.
A figure of $30,000 (budgeted) was chosen for the concrete slab, but the park
board will try to get this price down. Equipment costs are good for 30 days and
the equipment can be ordered now and held for shipping until March.
Argosy said they'd make it a topic in their announcements and information would
be placed in our next newsletter.
A grant for $25,000 can be applied for through the Tony Hoff Foundation.
A raffle would be held and the kids sell tickets to offset costs. The skateboard
shop would donate skating equipment and then have the raffle. Julie Rule said the
grant needs overall local community support. Julie asked if the kids could sell
raffle tickets at city events at the community center.
