Mayor Bowman reported that he has spoken with Park Board President Mark Maurer about getting a concession/rest room/storage building constructed atWestViewPark.

Mark did have two bids for the building of the new concession facilities. It was noted that they would prefer a block building with steel doors. Mark Peterson of WTC has said that they would be willing to install security cameras on the new building to help deter vandalism. Since there was a building in the park previously, there is already water and sewer lines in place for the hookups. The Mayor then met with WDC and they felt this was a worthwhile project for the City and they have committed $5000 for the start of the project. Dennis Hanser representing Wilton Precision Steel also talked with the Mayor stating his interest in donating to this project.

Members were appreciative to hear that these organizations were willing to contribute to this project and thought it would really enhance that park. The City Administrator said this would be a great addition to West View especially since we will be adding healthy activity stations along the walking path. Joel will inform the Park Board and meet with them to make plans to proceed and bring recommendations back to the Council.
When doing the clean up this weekend Mayor Bowman noticed that the roof on the building behind City Hall is in need of repair. He and Member Stanley were inside the shed and noticed that there are leaks in the roof in several places. The City should proceed to get prices on getting this roof replaced. Members thought it would be a good idea to get a roof that would match the Depot andElderParkshelter. The City Administrator will check on this repair. Mayor Bowman wanted to thank everyone that helped this past weekend for the clean up day for RAGBRAI. The volunteers walked the route, flowers were planted, weeds were pulled and trash was picked up.
Mayor Bowman gave the Members copies of letters that he has prepared. The first one is to Kit Koele & Julie Smith for their work on the offset program. This offset program is for cities to collect bad debt from previous customers. Kit & Julie have attended meetings and have done a lot of research to help collect these past due debts. To date around $6000 has been collected for the old water and electric bills. The other letter was to Muscatine Mayor Dick O’Brien sending best wishes to him from the City ofWiltonon his retirement.
