At their meeting on Tuesday, January 20, 2015, the Northfield City Council unanimously passed a resolution approving the location, concept design, and budget for the skatepark. You can watch the video of the meeting here. The resolution authorizes the transfer of $50,000 from the General fund to the Park fund to fund the park, and allocates a Park fund balance of $11,537 toward construction of the park. This additional funding will be added to the initial $60,000 allocated by the Council in january 2013 and to the more than $72,000 raised by the Coalition. The resolution concludes that "the budget presented allows the Skateboard Park to be constructed in 2015."
