Staff said the original estimate was $5 million ($2 million lighting, $3 million drainage and pitch) and the drainage and pitch bid came back at about $4 million after negotiation, with the extra $1 million from parks reserve. A $2 million county hospitality grant would be returned if the project stopped. Deferral for a year could add about 5%, or $200,000. Rent-only revenue was estimated at about $38,000 a year (resident) to $57,000 (non-resident). The Council approved the resolution and ordinance amendment unanimously.
