City approves building bid for wood recycling program
By JOE REBEIN Staff Reporter
Anticipating the chill of the upcoming winter, the Lawrence City Commission last night approved a bid for a new wood recycling program.
**DeviceVor** said the 44- by 64-foot metal building would be built on a city-owned site at 11H and Inc., 2001 Ponderosa Ave. for $19,847.
The program uses trees and shrubs the city has cleared from parks and other woody areas for use in fireplaces, patios and landscaping. recreation, and at last night's meeting.
"We should be able to process wood for a nominal fee," DeVictor said. "The contract specifies that the building be built in 60 days, but we're looking more toward late winter or early spring to finish it."
Mayor Marci Francisco said the building would be available for expansion for other forms of recycling.
**DEVICTOR SAID** the lot had a surplus of brush and wood that was gathered from trees that were either uprooted or upropped by the June tornado.
"We're hoping to have some wood available yet this year," he said. "We still need to construct a fence around the house and next step in finishing the center."
The commission also directed DeVictor to hire a local architectural firm to make a master plan for Central Park.
The park, west of the Lawrence Public Library, houses the city's swimming pool. It will be analyzed by Peters, Williams and Kubota, 2500 W. 6th St., to see whether it can be put to better use, DeVictor said.
"The problem right now is that the park is not very utilized because of the
two major thoroughfares that frame it," DeVictor said.
DeVictor said a public hearing would be held later this year to develop the schematics for the project.
A preliminary plan would be reviewed by the Community Development Board as well as the staff and recreation staff, the master plan is developed, he said.
"I think that the park can be made very useable," Commissioner Nancy Shontz said.
A survey of the park revealed that people wanted more picnic facilities and that more landscaping should be done, DeVictor said.
The commission also spent more than an hour in executive session discussing legal and personnel matters.
François said the only action that was taken during the session was to proclaim the week of Nov. 17 to 21 as Beat Meissonnier Week.
