GARDEN CITY, Utah.  September 11, 2014. The bid for Heritage Park has been has been given to Willow Valley Construction Company.  The bid was in the amount of $246,045.  A cement sidewalk will be put around the pond with crushed stone and cobble rock along the slopes.  There will be a bridge across the west area of the pond.  Power will be laid underground.  There will be benches, trees, and shrubs planted.  A sprinkling system will also be installed.  Hydro seeding for lawns will be held until next spring.

Three phase power will be needed at the Park.  Because this type of power is expensive, it was noted that an assessment and possible cost will be obtained from Rocky Mountain Power before this work will be attempted.  Power may have to be put off for a period of time because of the amount of money involved.  It was noted that also the amount of power should be also checked.  There was not enough power this past summer for the booths at Raspberry Days.  It seems more power is needed each year, so future needs must also be considered.  It was also noted that it will be at least five years before Raspberry Days can be moved up to that location.

A new pump has been ordered for the sprinklers.  Bess has requested that the large tree by Ray Lutz’s home be moved to Heritage Park as a place for children to climb and play.  Ditches at Heritage Park need to be cleaned so that water will drain properly away from the Park.
