CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of January 22, 2018 — Workshop Page 4 of 10 eliminate the $4 million to extend the boardwalk around Lake Concord Park; to eliminate $85 thousand for a pathway connection to the Art house and Sunset Park as that project is already in progress and funded as part of the Quail Pond Circle improvements project; to include $5 million for construction of a cultural events center; and to include $200 thousand for expansion of the Art House (to possibly be included as part of the cultural events center project) for possible inclusion as part of a bond referendum process to fund parks system enhancements. After further discussion, the City Commission agreed as a whole that for the purposes of this workshop the more in-depth discussions would focus only on suggested enhancements with an estimated cost of $50,000 or more in order to streamline the process, and that the lower cost items would be discussed later in the day or perhaps at another workshop.

It was suggested that since Secret Lake Park was one of the City's signature parks, all the listed projects should be included and the amount for the cost of the proposed enhancements could be increased to $1 million or $1.2 million to account for the low estimates. Concerns were expressed about "guestimating" at costs rather than having actual figures and it was explained that until engineering was done for some projects actual costs could not be determined.
