Bob finishing Westgate project then will work on grading at park. Contract has been signed regarding payment. We need to purchase fuel because we have grindings from the Granite construction donated from the Highway 29 project. (11,00 tons available.) To prepare area, we selected a spot. Working on fuel situation. Charlie says 100 gallons a day for the tractor and rent would be $150.00. Charlie suggested we compensate Bob for use of equipment. $20/ton is estimated cost for grindings to their best customers. Dennis discussed the irrigation plan. Wyatt Irrigation and Rainbow Ag have submitted bids. Wyatt was substantially lower. Wyatt will donate $1,600 of sprinkler heads and free delivery. $11,000 is estimated cost of materials. Hugh asked if the city had any say over the grant. Per Dennis, Charlie, Jeff and Ron, no - It's up to WCP, not the city. Charlie says this will take water up to BMX track and laying an extra pipe when city goes to purple water. Ron stated that he will discuss this with the city. Motion for $1,700 from Lake County Electric for electrical supplies for irrigation was made. Beth made motion, Hugh seconded it, motion carried. Dennis and Charlie met with Tom Schellinger. He stated that PG & E may not accept anything under a 3 inch pipe (2 inch pipe was installed by Schellinger Brothers.) Dennis is shopping for soil amendments - we will need these soon. So far $20/yard for compost including trucking here is the best deal. Other bid is $440/yard and you pick it up at their location. We payed for soils analysis. Scott De Leon made recommendation and it was with Doug Grinder. It was left there. Jeff brought up hydro-seeding. Dennis wilL discuss with Glenn - Ag Dept. regarding consulting on final decision. $75,000 was budgeted for this. Dennis want to be authorized up the $64,000 to purchase and have it trucked here.
