4 PG.1447 Library Director Kelli Platte and Park & Recreation Board Member Staci Baas would like to partner with their summer programs. Their idea is to get kids outside and in the parks. They would like to offer Movies in the Park, Art in the Park, possibly a Bike Rodeo, build bird houses and maybe have a band in the park. They want to start small and build up the number of kids participating. The Mayor and Council felt the partnership between the Library and Park & Recreation Board was a good idea. Kelli Platte will check on the licensing for showing movies in the park. Councilman Larson updated the Council on what the Denver Community School District will be doing with the old Elementary Building and property this summer. The older Two-Story Building will be torn down and the asphalt curb & gutter and sidewalk will be removed. A new playground will be constructed. The School Board would like to know if the City still pays for one-half of the curb & gutter. The total estimated cost to replace the curb & gutter and sidewalk and engineering on the north side of the property is $20,000, the City would pay $3,000 for onehalf of the cost for curb & gutter and the Denver Community School District would pay $17,000 for the other half of the curb & gutter, all of the sidewalk and all of the engineering costs. AECOM engineering cost is a not to exceed cost estimate in the amount of $3,600. The $3,600 will be reimbursed to the City of Denver by the Denver Community School District.
