HAMMITT Bob <br /> From: MEDLIN Johnny R <br /> To: SMITH Terry M <br /> Cc: ETTER John F; HAMMITT Bob; LYLE Les A; Patrick, Tim (RIS1) <br /> Subject: Path Lights at Petersen Barn <br /> Date: Monday, June 19, 1995 2:25PM <br /> Hi Terry, <br /> After speaking with John Etter and Tim Patrick here is what I understand to have happened to date. <br /> This is an issue that has been requested by Petersen Barn Park users several years. Part of the <br /> underground wiring and power stub- out is already in place. This project was discussed at a Neighborhood <br /> meeting at ABC Neighborhood a couple of months ago with John Etter showing a map of possible site <br /> locations. The presentation /meeting received favorable support. For insuring a good public process, Tim <br /> said that a mailing was done to the immediate neighbors on the perimeter of the Park notifying them of the <br /> possible project and requesting them to attend this neighborhood meeting where the issue was raised. All <br /> who attended the meeting were in favor of the project.. <br /> John said that he had told Tim that he could not fit this project into his current workload, but if the funding <br /> was available the project could be done through Engineering as their workload permits. (This fits well with <br /> our departments desired distinction that John's group does primarily planning projects with Engineering <br /> then doing the implementing construction projects.) <br /> Tim said that he wasn't aware of where the resources may come from for this project but thought that <br /> they were to come from City sources. He said that he wasn't aware of any hard dollar commitment from <br /> Dist. #52 but at one time there was some discussions regarding funds Dict. #52 had received from the <br /> Feds relating to energy conservation. Tim also said that he had heard some discussions about possible use <br /> of contingency funds. <br /> To move forward on this it sounds like we first need to clarify if the needed funding source has been <br /> identified and allocated, then ask Engineering to put this project onto their workload for design and <br /> construction. <br /> Thanks <br /> Johnny <br /> Page 1 <br />
