Moving forward look at Lions Park for more events. o Neilson – the fence that was put up went across the bike path – Caldwell will pass it on to the event coordinator. Porta-Potties or additional restrooms needed. o Ehnes – pickleball grand opening yesterday went well. Grant reimbursement was approved. Will be wrapped up on Monday night at the council meeting. 33% over budget. • Peoria and Rushmore Bridge Update – City Engineer Kyle Mathis o Removal of bridges was the cheapest option. o Peoria bridge was put in before FEMA guidelines – FEMA said they would allow the bridge to stay. o Replace the Peoria bridge with the Rushmore bridge if the engineering company comes back with proof that it will not cause a rise. This would include extending the rec path to the bridge. o Council approved this plan. o Rec Path going to old Rushmore Bridge will be removed and turned back to grass. On the other side, it would be a dead-end.
