Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Park Board has approved $14,000 from the Jamestown Parks and Recreation Foundation, toward Phase II of the Two River Activity Center (TRAC) expansion.

The funds are earmarked for designing of the outdoor water park, and supporting structures proposals, by Zerrberg Architects of Fargo.

The designing is expected to be completed by the end of January, 2019, to include community focus group meetings, along with marketing materials, and program requirements and components.

TRAC  Manager Amy Walters, says if plans are accepted and moves forward into construction, Zerrberg’s cost would amount to eight percent of the approximate $2 million project cost in lieu of the $14,000.

The Park Board has approved the TRAC request to start accepting for proposals to operate a healthy snack bar from the TRAC concession and kitchen area.

In other business, the Park Board  approved the $14,000 purchase of a 40 foot, 2008 bucket truck, from Otter Tail Power Company which is  updating its fleet, and is making unit available.

The bucket truck would be used primarily for tree trimming and exterior building maintenance of Parks and Recreation buildings, including TRAC.
