WHEREAS,the 2007-08 Capital Improvements Plan(CIP)includes$220,000 to replace the
wood suspension bridge at Brookside Park; and,
WHEREAS,prior to the flooding that occurred in May and June,the bridge was in need of
replacement,however, following the floods, a structural engineer reported the overall condition of
the structure was very poor and recommended that the bridge remain closed until its replacement;
and,
WHEREAS, the total for the original allocation is not$248,000,which is $28,000 over the
original allocation; and,
WHEREAS, another$30,000 project in the 2007/08 CIP has yet to be completed, and this
project would have involved renovating the limestone walls and walkway leading to the east
approach of this same bridge; and,

accomplished, and the limestone walls and walkway could be delayed; and,
WHEREAS, this would allow $28,000 of that$30,000 project funding to be reallocated to
replacing the bridge.
