(Street Department) $ 192,000 $ 192,000
The Street Department facility is in need of new overhead doors as the condition of the doors has degraded and
requires constant repairs due to the age of them. Many doors have been impacted by the weather and have rusted
out panels with holes in the doors. The doors are over twenty years old and have constant repairs made to the motors
and the track system. These doors are a vital part of the facility.

Parks and playgrounds city wide are in need of improvements. Among those requiring immediate attention is the
playground located off Harris Rd behind the Dube balifield it has not been replaced in over 30 years. Replacement of
swings, slides and other equipment repair to the basketball court are needed. Improvements of lighting, fencing,
signage and pruning of and removing some trees and general repairs and upgrades to the surrounding area are also
needed.
Division of
B-1 Public Works Holman Stadium
(Park and Rec) Infrastructure Improvements $ 155,000 $ 155,000
The Holman Stadium Facility continues to be a gathering point for City sporting and civic events. There are some
areas that need attention that were not addressed in the stadium work that occurred in 2003. There is a need to
upgrade the locker rooms with better floor surfacing, improved shower and bathroom services and more efficient HVAC
systems. The field is in need of having the clay surface replaced and have upgrades made to the irrigation system.
There is a need to repair failing roofs and walls, replace and reconstruct portions of the upper wooden outfield walls.
There is a need to pave areas inside the stadium and parking lot to eliminate trip and fall hazards. Several existing
outbuildings need to be replaced; various upgrades to the electrical and security systems. The field and the marque
sign on Amherst St are in need of rehabilitation.
Division of Truck Wash Bay
B-2 Public Works
(Street Department) $ 1,500,000 $ 1,500,000
The construction of the truck and chassis wash bay will extend the life of the city vehicles. Currently there is a pressure
washer that does not remove the salt residue from the undercarriage of the vehicles. A thorough wash after working
in winter conditions will help to ensure the fleet is maintained at a higher level and will last much longer.
Division of Stadium Drive Facility
B-2 Public Works Heating System Upgrades
(Street Department) $ 2,000,000 $ 2,000,000
The estimated cost to replace the 1978 boiler is $2,000,000. The current heating system is obsolete and requires
extensive maintenance each year. The upgraded heating system would operate more efficiently requiring less
maintenance and would create a better working environment.
