u
iWORK SESSION MEETING MINUTES FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 28,2000.
All members of Council were present, with the exception of Rod Slifer.
Item #3: Whitewater Park Discussion. Following a presentation by Joel Heath and Todd
Oppenheimer, as well as comment from the potential developers of the whitewater park features,
Oppenheimer asked Council for direction in four areas:
1) Approval of the revised construction price from $200,000 to $242,000 from RETT;
and
2) Acceptance that there would be a "change in the character of the creek" soundwise
from ripples to a noisier wave -type sound; and
3) Aesthetically the improvements were to obscure concrete fixtures in order to leave it as
natural in appearance as possible; and
4) Timing of the project - the preferred alternative, assuming permission from both the
Army Corps of Engineers and Department of Wildlife is secured, would be to start construction
no later than April 15-20, 2000. Should this permission not be forthcoming, construction will
occur in the fall of 2000.
All Councilmembers present were in favor of all four areas of concern, w/special comments
relating to a management plan, construction staging, access to the water feature (looping), etc.
