Staff has obtained one bid for the roofing project(tear-off and shingle). The construction of
the interior improvements will also be bid.
There is still approximately$79,000 from the original$165,000 Trott Brook Farms budget.
The uncompleted items remaining include the baseball field backstop and the hockey
boards. We have an additional set of hockey boards that were originally built for the Gary
Street rink site that can be transferred to and used at the Trott Brook Farms park site.

Staff recommends that the Commission recommend to the City Council the expenditure of
up to $32,000 for the items identified above for the Trott Brook Barn.
