The one bill on the Agenda Bill No. <br />04 -12, was a requested appropriation of $208,735 from fund #227 from improvements at <br />Belleville and Howard Parks. <br />Gavin asked City Controller Mark Neal to present the request. Mark said the money <br />came from an insurance claim the City made after vandals set fire to wooden playground <br />equipment at Belleville which was originally donated by Rotary. The estimated cost to <br />replace the Belleville equipment is $150 thousand. The balance would be used for <br />improvements at Howard Park. <br />Turning to the Council, Gavin recognized Oliver Davis who expressed appreciation for <br />the upgraded replacement at Belleville. Councilmember Varner asked if park security <br />had been upgraded. Councilmember Scott wondered whether the new equipment was <br />metal not wood. <br />Betsy Harriman, Assistant Park Director, assured both that efforts were being made to <br />improve security and that metal equipment was ordered. <br />There was no public comment. <br />Councilmember Oliver Davis motioned the bill go to full Council favorably. Tim Scott <br />offered a second and all agreed. <br />Under miscellaneous Council President Dieter reminded everyone about the Silverhawk's <br />Open House on Wednesday, March 14`l' from 6:00 -7:00 p.m. at the Doubletree. <br />
