Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $65,000.00 contract with Grunwell Cashero Co. to renovate the exterior finish of the Fuller Park pool buildings.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funding is available in the approved FY2017 Park Maintenance and Capital Improvement Millage budget and from a developer contribution.
The City has been making improvements to existing recreation facilities to protect infrastructure. The exterior finish, similar to stucco, is in disrepair, with cracks that have worsened over time. The buildings were last renovated in 1996. The finish is not only unsightly, but could cause further damage to the structure if not repaired. The buildings would also be painted to cover the stucco patching and approve the appearance.
Recreation infrastructure repairs are identified in the CIP and PROS plan as park priorities. The project meets multiple Sustainability Goals, including Sustainable Systems.
