Item #2 Discussion of Irrigation Project and take any necessary action
The Board was given an update on the Irrigation Project. The irrigation plans are with
the City's Parks Department for review and markup. The Board discussed holding off on
going out for bid until the capital funds for 2007 are made available, which should be in
late August. It was determined that we would get better bids if we waited until the winter
months to do the project and we would be able to do all properties at one time.
The Board suggested the irrigation project start on Starnes/Brewer after hearing about
plumbing problems occurring in that area.
Commissioner Rushing made a motion to wait until the 2007 capital funds are made
available before going out to bid on the irrigation project.
Commissioner Everett seconded the motion.
Ayes: C. Martin, Everett, Martin & Rushing
