Parks: A general maintenance agreement was discussed. After the

on benches, shelter roof in the park, etc. Some of the repair work
is "as needed". It does not need to be bid out.
Parks Impact Fee: MERRILL and MASNER met with Russ Mayer and other
members of the Building Contractors Association regarding park
impact fees on existing parks. Does not seem feasible to generate
funds needed for new parks but volunteers may generate aid. It was
estimated that the cost would be around $600,000 to develop a park.
Those parks being considered are the Merrill Park and Sports
Complex Park. The funding possibilities would be through the
citizens or bonds. It was suggested that Kent Hardwood of Nampa
should meet at a pre-council session to talk to the Council on how
Nampa generated funds for their recreation center and golf course.
