concrete bases and 3 poles. They will provide and install a 3-way bull <br />horn on each pole and 3 -175 watt framed flood lights. There will be an <br />added cost to move wires. The cost of the new lights would come out <br />of the Park Capitol Budget. The project will be presented at the next <br />City Council meeting. Long supports the idea of spending more money <br />on higher quality lighting. Motion passed to recommend improving the <br />hockey lights. <br />c. Curtiss Field update: <br />Ducks were captured and moved from the construction site. The pond <br />will have to be moved slightly to the east and the gazebo slightly south <br />east (approx. 5 ft.) due to a Qwest fiber optics cable that is in the way. <br />Dolan inquired about how the fibers were located. The edge of a cable <br />was hit while digging but no damage was done. Qwest never had <br />responded to coming to the site to check for cables before the <br />construction began. Final seeding and planting has been pushed back <br />to after August 15t". Some graffiti was found on the Curtiss Field <br />bulding which will be painted over. Greg Robinson is the project <br />manager for the Curtiss Field project and will take over the remaining <br />tasks. <br />d. Recreation Program update: <br />• Recreation programs begin in one week. Volunteer and staff training <br />will take place this week. Staff training consists of a park tour, <br />explanation of city employee guidelines, lunch, and program <br />preparation time. The registration numbers at Commonwealth Terrace <br />are low, but many of the kids are switching to programs at other sites. <br />The number of kids registered for all programs is approximately 300. <br />Long, on behalf of the entire Park Commission, thanked Maertz for all of his hard <br />work and wished him luck in Elk River. <br />Meeting ended at 7:30 p.m. <br />Minutes respectfully submitted by Ann Davy.
