City staff were considering a re-design and fence along Marshall Fields, but have met a wall when it comes to the finances.
At Monday’s council meeting city staff provided a $240,000 price tag for a fence and re-design of the soccer fields’ layout, re-routed parts of the footpath, and a vegetated buffer.
“I’m a little surprised. We had two groups in here, two presentations. One of them was the biggest one I’ve ever seen and their solution was to build a fence. And then we had a counter presentation with a number of signatures and their solution was to build a fence,“ Coun. Scott Anderson said.
“But now when it’s come back, we are looking at a quarter of a million dollars,” he said. “All we wanted was a fence.”
