Background:
With the approval of the third addition of the Wild Flowers Meadows development staff
has contacted SRF Consulting Group, I nc. to put together a proposal for the planning
portion of the Wildflower Meadows Park construction.
The City has used SRF Consulting group, Inc. during the planning process and for
construction oversight on other projects such has Frankfort Park, Beaudry Meadows
Park, Kitteredge Crossings Park, and Zimmer Farm Park.

include and exclude from their original concept design. These amenities can be
modified throughout the process to accommodate the potential input from the City
Council, Parks and Recreation Commission, residents, and City Staff.

Conclusion:
Staff is requesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission review the material
included in this memo and attachment and forward a recommendation to the City
Council to begin the planning process for Wildflower Meadow Park.
