The $27,750 contract for parking improvements and soccer fields at the park includes a $21,000 architectural contract, a $4,750 contract for surveying and a $2,000 contract for geotechnical services. The work to be done includes asphalt improvements to the north parking lot, three soccer fields on the south side of the park, ADA compliant sidewalks that connect the parking area to the soccer fields with the main north-south sidewalks for future connection to the city trail system and master planning of a future baseball field north of the proposed soccer fields.

The council also approved accepting a $20,000 bid from Lunsford, Ltd., of Acworth, Ga., for maintenance on the Air Force plane in Kindley Park, which includes a $2,000 bid to repair torn metal on the left and right rear of the fuselage and to repair the dent on the leading edge of the right tail fin. Half of the cost, $10,000, will be paid by insurance money already received by the city. A resolution was passed for a budget adjustment to finance the maintenance.
