TAU <br />BOOK <br />GOLDEN SANDS PARKIRRIGATION WELL <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 12/19/89: <br />TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P. E. _ <br />Public Works Director <br />J <br />SUBJECT: Golden Sands Park Irrigation Well <br />REF. LETTER: Leroy Hiers, United Irrigation, to <br />Jim Davis dated 11-29-89 <br />DATE: December 19, 1989 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Due to the large water bills that the Parks Department is <br />receiving at Golden Sands Park, the staff and United <br />Irrigation have investigated the feasibility of installing <br />two shallow wells at the park and installing the appropriate <br />equipment to convert the irrigation system to a shallow well <br />supply. The attached proposal in the amount of $2,150 <br />provides for phis work. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Since the water bill a -t --the park has been $600/month on the <br />average, the cost savings in one year should repay this <br />capital investment. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that the shallow wells and pumping <br />equipment be installed at Golden Sands Park. Funding to be <br />from 001-210-572-066.51. <br />COMMISSIONER WHEELER'S Motion to approve staff <br />recommendation died for lack of a second. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked why we are not going to bid on <br />this, and Commissioner Bird explained that this all evolved when <br />the Parks & Recreation Committee took a tour of all the parks and <br />found that the water bills were running very high at Golden <br />Sands. Leroy Hiers happens to be on that committee and offered <br />to run some tests to see if there is any decent water that we <br />could tap into. He then came back to Director Davis with a <br />proposal of what it would cost to put in a well, and it was a <br />negotiated thing between Director Davis, staff, and Mr. Hiers. <br />50 <br />
