They are being combined because of the similar type of work and timing of the projects. Water Tank Construction of the new water tank is scheduled for spring and summer 1488. The tank is to be located north of and slightly east of the old tank in conformance with the recently adopted Parks and Recreaticn Department Corporation Yard Master Plan. This requires clearing of the abandoned substation and the old Utility Department "Water Works" building. This building is used for storage, an office and "ready room".. However, in order to provide alternate space for the displaced people and materials, the small buildings fronting the alley are also being removed. Phasing the removal will allow the Parks and Recreation Department time to provide temporary facilities to replace their present "ready room" area. The recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Department provides for salvaging of the cornerstones and other artifacts from the historic building. This recommendation comes from the Arts Commission, it has been approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission, and has been included in the specifications. Hale Park. - 208 East Locust Street Funds were budgeted ($37,000) in the 1987/88 Capital Improvement Program for exterior repairs and painting to the auditorium.
