- 2 - <br /> C. Vermont Park - Shade Structure <br /> Breuer showed the Commissioners two different options for the Vermont <br /> shade structure; one was a fabric canopy and one was wooden. The <br /> canopy would come down during the winter season. There would be cost <br /> in taking down and putting up the canopy. It would take 2 guys, 2 hours <br /> (about$240 hours per year). Some other communities have these <br /> canopies, like Eagan, Apple Valley. They use them in their water park <br /> areas and a few have been added in their parks. The Commissioners felt <br /> that the wooden structure, which is the same one that is at Hansen Park, <br /> would be more permanent. It may be more expensive initially, but it would <br /> last much longer than the fabric option. The Commissioners felt the wood <br /> is richer looking. The Commission guessed that the roof on the wooden <br /> structure would need to be replaced about every 20 years. <br /> Frischman said that her concern for the fabric ones is vandalism. She also, <br /> expressed concern about wind and storms. Breuer commented that both of <br /> the cities she contacted that had the fabric structures, did not have any <br /> problems with them during storms. <br /> Breuer stated the following information will be gathered for the <br /> Commission for an upcoming meeting on this subject. <br /> • Man power needed <br /> • Life span of both <br /> • Warranty <br /> • Sizes (of roof) and price quotes should be for the same size <br /> structure for fabric and wood. Breuer was not sure she can <br /> compare apples to apples on the size. <br /> • Mold/Mildew <br /> This item will come back to the Commission in January or February, <br /> 2012. <br /> The park shelter at Vermont will not come down until we know what will <br /> go in its place. <br /> D. New Brighton Exchange - Schematics <br /> Breuer stated at the September meeting there was some discussion about <br /> what was happening at the New Brighton Exchange. Schematics were <br /> available of what has already been discussed for the four different parks. <br /> Funding is the major issue. The four parks totaled about 4 million dollars <br /> and that did not include the public art which was estimated at about <br /> $700,000. <br />
