• 5. Name the Park Contest Carol K will put an ad in the June newsletter, to include a cut out form. It will also go home with kids at Falcon Hts. Elementary School. We will decide the winner at the next park board meeting. We agreed a prize would be nice. Much discussion followed about whether to solicit a donated prize or to just buy it. Tune in next time.... We will have a dedication of the new park, maybe after the fair. 6. Rental Fee Revision Carol K handed out a fee schedule for park building and grounds rental. Carol K indicated that there was a lot of interest in using the building for 1-2 hours. Fee revisions are as follows: 520 for less than 2 hours at the community park building or new Idaho/Snelling bldg. (consistent with use of council chambers). This does not include cooking in the kitchen. (A coffee pot is OK). The ball fields will be 510/use not to include bathrooms or 520/use to include bathrooms. The ice rinks would be 520/use since it includes a number of utility uses (lights, warming house, rink attendantl. Ice rink would be 510 at the Grove. Seasonal use would be 575 without bathrooms and 5150 with bathrooms at the Community Park and 540 for the other parks (except 580 with bathrooms at Idaho/Snellingl. • 7. Capitol Improvements and Budget The Community Park needs the following: lights for the pleasure rink, pathway lighting, landscaping. The running path is also in bad need of repair and overhaul. The park also needs 2 more spring toys, tennis court resurfacing, etc. The Big Toy also no longer will comply with safety regulations when the new ones come out. We need to think about how we will respond to the new guidelines. The east end by the playground needs evergreens as a buffer to the homes at the edge of the park (since the other plants were cut down by the city). Carol said it would cost 52500 to remove the stumps and plant the evergreens needed. The cabinets etc for the building cost about 58,000. This would spend the entire capitol outlay budget for that site for this year. What this really means is that the Capitol Outlay budget needs to be substantially revamped, especially in light of the grant received for Idaho/Snelling park. Carol K, Steve and Jeff indicated they would get together to do this. There was also a request for a locking gate at the Hole at night. We will try to implement a "Park Watch" program in coordination with the Neighborhood Watch program already in effect. Carol K will ask Jerry Ruttiman if he can come to the next Park Board meeting. 6. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:45 pm. Respectfully submitted, ~~
