TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Fairgrounds Agricultural Pavilion - <br />Fencing and Landscaping <br />DATE: January 17, 1991 FILE: fairgr.agn <br />DESCRIPTION AND.CONDITIONS <br />On April 3, 1990, the Board approved County funding of <br />$10,000 for grassing at the Fairgrounds Agricultural <br />Pavilion. The formal site plan approved for the project <br />required only $1,500 for grassing of a perimeter drainage <br />swale around the area. <br />Fencing around the pavilion area is necessary and the cost <br />for this fencing was not included in the April 3, 1990 Board <br />of County Commission approval. The fencing cost is <br />estimated to be: <br />1050 LF @ $6 = $ 6,300 <br />10 Terminal post @ $27 = $ 270 <br />5 gates @ $.300 = $ 1,500 <br />$ 8,070 <br />The Farm Bureau is managing the project, and have requested <br />that the County distribute the fencing funds directly to the <br />Farm Bureau as reimbursement for the fencing. <br />-ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The fencing is, in staff's opinion, needed for safety at the <br />facility. The alternatives are as follows: <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Approve allocating ing up to $8,500 for fencing at the <br />Fairgrounds in lieu of grassing. <br />The funds have already been established by a Budget <br />Amendment. The funds would be reimbursed to the Farm <br />Bureau once fencing were installed. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Deny the fencing work. This would result in <br />unmanageable pedestrian control --during Fair events. <br />RECOMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Alternative No. 1 is recommended. <br />required. <br />27 <br />No additional funding is <br />J <br />
