Summary
Staff reported progress and delays on several capital projects: the recreation center expansion is pending 100% drawings, the cultural center portico finish was pushed to Nov. 11, Bob Marcello lighting is scheduled for early December, veterans park will go to bid soon, and a turf-fields grant decision is expected by Nov. 1.
Mister Pawlowski (staff member) provided the Recreation Advisory Board with updates on multiple capital projects during the Sept. 15 meeting.
Pawlowski said the recreation center expansion is moving forward but remains dependent on completion of 100% design drawings. He said the cultural center portico has been delayed because of material and gutter changes and that "they're saying the finish date is November 11." The Bob Marcello lighting replacement project is scheduled to start the first week in December, Pawlowski added.
Pawlowski said veterans park repurposing work is expected to go out to bid by the end of the month or early November. He reported disc golf tee-pad markers have been manufactured and are awaiting installation by parks staff, and that multiple disc golf and 5K events use the fields regularly.
Regarding the inclusive playground, Pawlowski said staff reviewed a first revision of equipment repositioning and expected finalization by the end of the month so engineers can assess impacts to underdrain, water and sewer lines. He said the village is still awaiting a grant decision for turf fields and anticipated an answer "in the next month," noting the grant decision was expected by Nov. 1.
Board members and staff framed these as project-management updates rather than new policy decisions; no formal capital approvals were taken at the meeting.
