REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS
Frank Stone did mention he had a bid for a hockey rink

agreed this was a high price. The other bid from Decks by
Ives was for $5,800 and one at S4,800. The specs included
treated lumber, one large gate and one small gate.
The budget for this item was $5,000. There was
discussion about putting in fencing at the same time. It was

until Spring to get a total bid for other fencing needed in
Andover Parks.
Motion was made by Commissioner Kinkade, seconded by
Commissioner Anderson that the Andover Park and Recreation
Commission recommends to the City Council to accept the
proposed bid by Decks by Ives' Option 1, bid at S5,800,

confirm that they quoted pursuant to the requirements of the
specs. All voted yes (1 abstained). Motion carried.

Motion was made by Commissioner Kieffer, seconded by
Commissioner Kinkade to direct Todd Haas to get some bids for
putting in 6 lights/posts for Hawkridge and that he proceed

Commission for approval. All voted yes. Motion carried.

volleyball pit. One bid was for S6,500, He stated the

get much use this late in the season.
REPORT FROM PARK CHAIRMAN
Marc McMullen stated that the Mayor would dedicate the
rest of his money (approximately S3,000-S~,000) if the Park
Commission will draw up plans for Red Oaks East and get the
grading and seeding done this year, as long as grading and
seeding is so inexpensive this year.

plans for Red Oaks East and bring the plans back for review
by the Park Commission on October 6th. All voted yes.

of colleges for an intern to assist her department but so far
has not received a response.

area and whether the field was usable. Frank Stone stated
