Regular Agenda 6.1 The council will consider a resolution approving the purchase of a picnic shelter for Twin Oaks Park. As part of the Long Term Plan (LTP), Twin Oaks Park is scheduled for redevelopment in 2025, which includes a small picnic shelter as part of the project. The shelter will be similar to picnic shelters recently installed in Broadway and Crystal Highlands parks. The 2025 LTP includes $90,000 estimated for a new picnic shelter in Twin Oaks Park. This budget amount includes the picnic shelter, shelter installation, concrete work, security light and related features. Federal CDBG funds will also assist with funding the overall project, so prevailing wage requirements will be followed for shelter installation. The shelter can be purchased through a cooperative purchasing program, from Northland Recreation, for $46,228.50. The authorized installer of these shelters is Mulcare Contracting LLC. The quote for installation, using prevailing wage rates, is $9,375. Installation will be under a separate contract. The total estimated cost for shelter purchase and installation (not including concrete or electric) is $55,603.50. Recommend approval of the attached resolution entering into an agreement with Northland Recreation, in the amount of $46,228.50 for the purchase of the shelter. 6.2 The council will consider approving membership in the North Metro Mayors Association. Staff recommends that the city council approve the city of Crystal rejoining the North Metro Mayors Association (NMMA), an organization providing research, advocacy and cost-saving opportunities through its joint purchasing cooperative. Previously a member, Crystal withdrew under the former mayor. Mayor Deshler has indicated she would like the city to rejoin the Association. The 2025 membership cost is estimated at $9,684, which staff proposes covering with contingency funds. Recommend approval. 6.3 The council will consider the first reading of an ordinance amending the membership of the Sustainability Commission. The city council is asked to consider the first reading of an ordinance amending the number of members of the Sustainability Commission. At the Feb . 13 work session, the council decided to increase the number of commissioners from 10 members to 12, with the two additional members being at-large positions. Recommend approval of the first reading of the proposed ordinance. The second reading and adoption of the ordinance will be considered at the March 4 meeting. Page 3 of 3 7. Announcements a.
