This work primarily consists of the removal and disposal of some 86,000 cubic yards of material from Stewart Lake, and replacing sand in the beach area, as required. This project was initiated to improve the quality of Stewart Lake, which has over the years deteriorated due to the build-up of silt, muck, weeds, etc. Bids were received as follows: Aquatic Service, Inc. Busch Oceanographic E & E Construction Luedtke Engineering Co. P & M Marine *Purves Excavating Harry Rosen's Bulldozing F.

This project was approved in the 1982 Capital Projects with $150,000 budgeted. 7-1 ITEM #8 RED OAKS LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS (Clubhouse Area) Bids were received for Phase I Landscape Improvements at Red Oaks Clubhouse. No landscaping was included around the clubhouse at the time of construction. The Phase would include a variety of plant materials, some minor grading changes and earthen mounds. The alternate is to add a new planting bed adjacent to the building. This would require removal of some existing asphalt. Bids are as follows: Base Alternate #1 Alternate #2 Total Designed Landscaping $11,092.98 $824.00 $7,540.98 $19,457.96 *C & H Spraying 7,819.00 500.00 700.00 9,019.00 Hoffman Nursery 8,653.00 443.00 407.00 9,503.00 This was an approved Capital Project for which $5,000 was budgeted.

This summary should provide a general overview of the present status of this project. As with all new facilities, especially unique ones such as the Water Slide, there are unexpected modifications required that are essential to safety and operation. This project probably experienced more than our average projects but,due to its nature, no more than expected. Changes required to date are as follows: --Bridge connection modification --Floor sump adjustment --Meter pit revision --Structural footing changes in both tower and deck --Structural change in Maintenance Building --Service road realignment and additional surface material --Electrical modifications --Trim and window modifications at Control Building --Grade adjustments --Drinking fountain/footspray and dry well modifications --Sodding --Additional wind bracing --Mechanical (water circulation system modification) --Additional carpeting for bridge --Tower railing modification --Fencing realignment and splash rails additions The above modifications/revisions required $18,877.12 in change orders in addition to the original contract. There are still, however, a few items which had to be completed and require Commission action. These items were initiated because of a State requirement, safety precaution or required engineering change. They are as follows: 1) A stress analysis had to be completed for the State before final approvals could be obtained. This was performed by Sheppard Engineering. This report,, as well as engineering modifications, amounted to approximately $1,500. 2) A major expense to the project was the addition of 216' of custom fabricated splash rails. This was in addition to the 100' already included in the original contract. These rails are extremely important for water conservation, pool operation and especially for safety. We installed an additional 84' at the time the slide was opened. We were still losing water and there were two critical areas that required 132' of additional rails. The cost for 216' of splash rails, including shipping, is $10,220. (Rails are $40 per foot in comparison for $100 per foot for the flumes.) 3) The third item is the foam pads used to ride on. Mr. Lee Cox from A PARC recommended that they be purchased from Brougham Industries because of quality and delivery time. The cost for 200 pads was $2,556- 4) During the last few weeks some minor modifications have been made by Parks and Recreation Technical Support. There were window modifications to the Control Building, additional rails at the deck entrance and pool area. The approximate cost for these items was $1,500. All of the above costs amounted to $15,746. There is still $1,573 remaining in the original authorized contingency. This leaves a balance of $14,173 to take action upon.

This idea is incorporated in the approved Master Plan and would certainly provide another unique facet to further enhance this park. By its very nature, this particular garden concept would lend itself to involvement by park users or sponsors through monetary gifts for individual items or complete gardens. It also would provide a perfect setting for collaboration with various educational institutions, garden clubs and service organizations as well as providing further activities for our recreational programs. Due to the complexity of this project, time only allowed for the preliminary research, conceptual scheme and two more detailed plans to be completed. Staff would like the opportunity to present the concept and a proposal to the commission for the completion of the design portion so that this project could become a reality. 12-1 ITEM #13 INFORMATION ON 20TH STATE DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION. TOURISM. CULTURE AND LEISURE SERVICES The Public Affairs Committee of the Michigan Recreation and Park Association, of which I am Chairman, has been working on a concept that could lead to the creation of 20th State Department of Recreation, Tourism, Culture and Leisure Services. There have been seven public hearings held throughout the State per- taining to the concept and rationale for such a department. There is a possibility that legislation will be introduced in the fall session to create such a department. A copy of the rationale and the draft bill to create such a department is attached for your review. will elaborate on the concept at the meeting. 13-1 MRPA Public Affairs Committee: April 15, 1982 RATIONALE FOR A STATE DEPARTMENT OF RECREATION, TOURISM, CULTURE, AND LEISURE SERVICES Creating a state commission and department of recreation, tourism,, culture, and leisure services would bring together marry related programs. This would result in more effective performance in meeting the leisure needs and desires of Michigan residents and in strengthening the State's economy. The state can do a better job of developing and promoting its leisure industry. Because state programs in this area are spread across several departments, they are not being well coordinated. For example, the development, man- agement, and publicizing of Michigan's state parks and marinas isn't coordinated with the overal.ldevelopment and promotion of Michigan tourism. Similarly, the state's programs that support local public recreation aren't coordinated with its programs that support local historic and fine arts efforts. Placing all of these functions under a single commission and management would provide a mechanism for communication and coordination 'between programs. Just as important, it Mould provide a focal point in state government for the local government, private, and commercial leisure and travel industry to work with. Creating a new department would not necessarily increase overall cost. In fact, there could be a cost savings. Several boards and commissions would be eliminated and some administrative functions could be consolidated. There would be no need for additional program staff. The necessary elements already exist; all that's needed is to consolidate and restructure those elements. 13-2 The new department would be able to act effectively in many ways. For example, it could pursue, where appropriate, private recreation and tourist development on public lands and other joint public/private ventures. It could develop programs and propose legislation that would deal with both public recreation financing problems and economic development. And it could help to set up a statewide network of leisure information centers that would inform both tourists and local residents of recreation and travel opportunities throughout the state. Some of the programs proposed for inclusion in the new department have absorbed especially severe budget cuts in the last two years. It may be that some of the programs are not considered high priorities by their agencies' management. The forest recreation program in DNR's Forest Management Division is an example. The new department proposed here would give such programs the recognition and support they need. It would also help to bring coherence to the current contradictory state approach to tourism. The -state is greatly increasing tourism promotion at the same time it is cutting back tourist -related recreation opportunities such as state parks and state forest recreation. Bringing these programs together under a single commission and management would lead to a more balanced and logical approach. 13-3 A bill to create a state department of recreation, tourism, and culture, and to prescribe its powers and duties; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain other state departments and agencies; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state officers; to create a commission of recreation, tourism, and cul- ture, and to prescribe its powers and duties; to provide for the promulgation of rules; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts.
