Amenities at park to cost $95M | Northwest
A destination playground, splash pad, softball fields, Little League Baseball fields, site grading and other upgrades at Lewiston Community Park have an estimated total cost of $95 million.
Lewiston’s city council got its first look at the potential costs of the improvements at a Monday work session.
“I’m looking at this … number, and I’m staggered,” said Councilor Rick Tousley, who emphasized the city is seeking money from sources such as Idaho State Parks and Recreation grants, foundations, private donations and group sponsors.
“We are going to have to be quite creative in how we are able to come up with possible funding sources,” he said.
A step-by-step plan about how to find the revenue would be helpful, said Council President Hannah Liekie, who noted she believes the public sees the improvements as a want, not a need.
“I’m not exactly shocked by the price, but I’m also not ready to go out and sell to the public in the sense of ‘we’ve got it figured out,’ ” she said.
The $95 million includes $10 million in contingencies. The price was broken into seven categories that were listed in order of priority — site grading ($10.3 million), heart of the park ($29.6 million), Little League complex ($19.5 million), softball complex ($24.6 million), amphitheater ($4.1 million), recreational vehicle park ($6.05 million), and other amenities such as a bike park, multiuse field, sand volleyball and disc golf ($800,000).
The heart of the park is a section that would include a destination playground, community gathering area, small stage and splash pad.
Two smaller playgrounds are part of the plan that also adds pavilions, restrooms, concession areas and more features in different parts of the park.
One of the reasons grading is projected to cost so much is because of a 200-foot elevation drop on the site.
More details about how the projects will be paid for are anticipated in June.
In other business, the council heard a presentation from Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport Authority Board Chairman Gary Peters about putting a proposed new city fire station on airport land.
The council is expected to decide if it will move forward with constructing the station on the northwest corner of Fifth Street and Bryden Avenue at its Monday meeting. That decision will follow a report last month, where councilors learned the estimated costs of the station had risen from $4 million to $6.9 million for a variety of reasons like increases in labor and material costs.
The city would save money if it constructed the station on airport land between Bryden Avenue and the transportation hub, Peters said.
The city could sell its 1-acre lot at Fifth and Bryden for about $1 million. It could earn about $30,000 a year from property tax revenue, which would equal $1.5 million over 50 years that would be generated by private development of the lot, he said.
That projection of property tax revenue is based on what the dental clinic across the street generates, he said.
The city would pay the airport $10,000 a year to lease the land, which would result in a net savings of $2 million over 50 years, Peters said.
The airport site also has the advantage of having less congestion than the city’s land, which is at an intersection that is getting busier every day, he said.
Even with the fire station on the airport land, there would still be room for a hotel and restaurant development the airport is pursuing, he said.
The council also voted to negotiate with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, a union that represents technicians in the water, waste water, street, traffic, sanitation, parks, fleet and facilities departments.
That decision followed a lengthy discussion, some of which focused on how the union has 31 dues-paying members even though it represents 77 employees.
Pat Wilson, a street maintenance technician and executive board member of the union, answered questions at the request of Lewiston Mayor Dan Johnson.
One of the reasons that fewer than half of those eligible for the union belong is because of a high number of retirements, including four in his department in less than a year, Wilson said.
There’s a six-month probationary period before new employees can join, he said.
Some newer employees have “been riding on what the previous contract is and they think that’s just the way it is all the time,” Wilson said.
Wilson’s bargaining unit is one of three for city employees. The others represent police officers and firefighters.

Defiance commissioners discuss new disc golf course at DC | Local News
Defiance County commissioners discussed the possibility of financially supporting a new disc golf course in Defiance during their Thursday meeting.
The 18-hole course is being built by volunteers on the campus of Defiance College, and could become functional in several weeks, according to Jay Hanson of the Jacket Woods Disc Golf Course Committee. But final installations will have to wait until after Defiance College’s graduation ceremony in May.
He said his organization is putting together a course capable of hosting tournaments.
Permission was given by the college to proceed last November, Hanson noted, while 23 volunteers have been helping build it. Another volunteer work day is scheduled for March 19.
Help also will be — or has been — received from Boy Scout Troop 70 and Defiance Master Gardeners, he said.
Commissioner Mick Pocratsky suggested that his colleagues would consider providing funds for phase 4, perhaps from the county’s hotel/motel tax. Commissioners occasionally use this money for tourist-related activities or related infrastructure.
According to Hanson, the course’s estimated construction cost — undertaken in four phases — is $70,000-$75,000 with $58,600 collected through fundraising. The final phase would cost between $6,800-$15,000, he said.
As for the course’s difficulty, Hanson informed commissioners that it will be challenging.
“We’ve purposefully maximized the enjoyment of the game … by having the course be as complex as it can,” Hanson explained. “You don’t want to make it too easy … .”
He said no disc golf clubs exist in Defiance, but others have been formed in Archbold, Bryan and Wauseon. Hanson is hoping for the establishment of high-school level clubs here in the future.
Also Thursday, commissioners met with E-911 Director Matt Hanenkrath and Sheriff Doug Engel to discuss the construction of a new communications tower at the county fairgrounds in Hicksville for the MARCs radio system used by law enforcement.
Engel told The Crescent-News that the tower would provide better communications coverage in Hicksville and surrounding areas.
He noted that the estimated cost is $600,000 to $1 million, and asked if commissioners could offset this with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money. The county will receive $7.39 million in ARPA money from the federal government.
Commissioners did not grant Engel’s request, but would front the project cost and require the sheriff’s office to pay back the money over time.
The sheriff’s office will hire a project manager who will handle the bidding, according to Engel.
In other business Thursday, commissioners received a monthly update from Ron Cereghin, the county’s maintenance supervisor.

The club pledged to become the world’s first carbon-neutral golf club by 2022 through initiatives to manage its carbon, water and waste footprint.
“We’re looking forward to bringing our fleet into the future with Toro and Jebsen & Jessen,” said Andrew Johnston, General Manager and Director of Agronomy at Sentosa Golf Club. “It’s important to us to work with partners who not only share our commitment to the environment, but also support our mission to consistently deliver a world-class playing experience. We treat every day like a tournament day, and we know we can expect that level of excellence from Toro.”
Beyond a new fleet of irrigation and course maintenance equipment, the partnership agreement includes support from the technical service team at Jebsen & Jessen and regional support from The Toro Company. An on-site Toro service manager will be based at the club, establishing a state-of-the-art workshop that will serve as a model for Toro.

With this initiative, Toro joins The R&A and the Asian Tour in making Sentosa a key base in the region. Both The R&A and the Asian Tour have offices at the club.
The partnership agreement with Sentosa Golf Club comes as Toro begins its 108th year in the golf industry, bringing more than a century of expertise and innovative solutions to the partnership. “This is an historic opportunity for The Toro Company to partner with one of the most respected clubs in Asia and support their mission of carbon neutrality,” said Richard Olson, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Toro Company. “I’ve witnessed Sentosa Golf Club’s passion for the environment first-hand, and it’s an exciting time to work them on implementing the latest Toro innovations and technology.”
“Sustainability is not a new concept for The Toro Company,” Olson continued. “It’s deeply rooted in our purpose to provide customers with real solutions that are both environmentally responsible and operationally sustainable.”
“As the first industrial conglomerate in Southeast Asia to achieve full carbon neutrality, we take great pride in the fact that we share a common mission with Sentosa and Toro in reducing our impact on the environment,” added Philipp Hoffmann, Regional Director of Jebsen & Jessen Technology Turf & Irrigation. “We look forward to supporting the club as they provide world-class golfing experiences, as well as in their sustainability efforts.”
