The Finance Committee met 03/25/2024. One of the items they voted on was the request to approve a 2024 Budget amendment recording a $279,800 donation from Goodwill to cover the cost of replacing the rubberized surface at the Miracle League Field in Memorial Park.
I’ve prepared a transcript of the discussion for download:
This project had initially been placed on hold when the bids to replace the rubberized surface had come in $144,000 over the anticipated $185,00 budget. The city then went back and changed the scope of the project by reducing the thickness of the rubber coating from 10mm to 6mm to get the down to $279,000, an amount Goodwill was able to cover. That was approved back in August.
The field is owned by the city, so Appleton will be acting as the project manager, but all of the costs of the resurfacing will be covered by the donation made by Goodwill, and, per Director of Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Dean Gazza, any overages will be covered by Goodwill.
This budget amendment was recording that donation from Goodwill to cover the cost of the project. The Finance Committee approved it by a vote of 5-0.
