The Skateboard Park Committee Meeting was called to order at 5:05 p.m.
3 guests were in attendance to discuss the skateboard park, but it was suggested that they return on November 9 for our next regularly scheduled meeting to make comments. Once they learned that we were interviewing design firms they agreed.
The first design firm interviewed was Spohn Ranch, followed by Grindline, and we concluded with Hardcore. All 3 companies were asked the same questions regarding the types of parks they've built, the use of materials within the parks, their creative approaches, costs per square foot, and their ideas concerning the use of stairs, rails, edges and bowls within the parks.
At the conclusion of the interviews, the committee members discussed the 3 firms and their opinions based on the information they had gathered. It was decided that the members would rank in order their preferred choice. It was unanimous that Hardcore was their first choice, followed by Grindline and lastly Spohn Ranch.
Jacquie will pass the information along to the Town Manager, and draw up a contract.
