MINUTES PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING _ SEPTEMBER 9, 1991 MEMBERS PRESENT: Carol Huso, Jeff Johnson, Lloyd Jacobson, Carol Kriegler, Sam Jacobs MEMBERS ABSENT: Mike Farrell, Linda McLoon, Steve Schugal, Jyneen Thatcher, David Wickhem 1. Curtiss Field Update Carol Kriegler gave a summary of the work done to date. In general, progress has been slower than anticipated. Although the building is now 75$ complete, the building contractor has been slow which in turn has prohibited the site contractor from working at their scheduled pace. Scott Midness was contacting both contractors in an effort to expedite their progress and remind them of their contractual obligation to complete the project within 90 working days. In general, the project has gone smoothly with no change orders yet processed to date. 2. Curtiss Field Dedication Carol Kriegler reported that Scott Midness would be giving her an update at the end of the week regarding the scheduling of a date for the park dedication ceremony. Although he thought it was premature to eliminate the possibility of having the event on October 12, he thought it was quite possibly unrealistic. He would not want to recommend a date until assessing the progress made in the coming week. The commission discussed the options of holding the event on either of the next two Saturdays or next spring. The consensus was that holding the event in November was not an option because of the possibility of undesirable weather. Although it would be a disappointment, it was felt that the event should occur in the spring if October 19 or 26th are not possibilities. Carol Kriegler will contact Carol Huso next week in an effort to schedule the event. (Since the Sept. 9 Commission Meeting, the dedication has been planned for Saturday, October 26th) Discussion followed concerning the schedule of activities planned. The desire was for a 2 hour afternoon event with games, relays, races, paper airplane flying contest and refreshments. Sam indicated a willingness on the part of the Lions Club to assist in • serving refreshments as long as they are not involved in any purchasing. Cider and cookies was suggested.
