Discuss, consider, and possible action regarding options to repair the Irrigation System at the City Park.

He recommended full replacement rather than repair, noting that it would be more effective to divide the existing system into two separate systems. He also stated that the current equipment is residential-grade and not designed for commercial use. Parks Department Representative Michael Rickard presented two options: Option 1 involves retaining the existing valves and replacing only the pump. Option 2 includes replacing all 58 valves and installing a new pump. Director Dees inquired about the feasibility of installing a lightning rod to prevent future damage. Michael Rickard responded that multiple lightning rods are already in place. Director Rayburn asked if the staff recommend moving forward with Option 1 at this time. City Manager Peacock confirmed that they do. Director Breitenstein asked why the pump had failed twice previously. Michael Rickard explained that the failures were due to issues with the suction line. Motion made by Director Breitenstein to approve option one . Seconded by Director Walden.
