3. Visitor
At 6:15pm, Jennifer Morris of Friends of Memorial Park came to give an update.
FOMP is approved to break ground in the spring, however, they are short in money as the
installation was not included in their initial bid. Mike Ahern would prefer to build it
versus a company. FOMP decided to put the project out to bid and will meet and go over
bids at their next meeting. Playmart did the initial bid of $195,000 without installation/
$250,000 with installation. Jennifer will come to our next meeting with an update on the
contractor.
