The homeowners have the support of the Park Board who would like to see the homeowners and developer work together to have the areas look nicer. The Board would be happy to offer suggestions and act as a resource in more attractive development of the entrances and common areas; however this project is out of the jurisdiction of the Board. NO ACTION TAKEN OTHER CONCERNS A. REQUEST FOR FUNDING FROM VOLUNTARY PARK FUND David Fain requested an additional $6,000 funding for the completion of the Sparger Park Pavilion due to cost overruns. The overruns are a result of the choice of stone over brick. The stone will cost approximately twice as much as brick, however it was the consensus of the subcommittee working on the project that natural stone will be more attractive in the Sparger setting. Even with the approval of the additional funds the structure has cost less than alternative methods such as purchasing a prefab pavilion.
