Joe Morseth__X___ Eric Brenton__X___Tom Faust__X__ Bob Haight__X___ Wesley Goldberg_____ Erin Williams__X___ Jerry Buckridge__X__ COUNCIL LIAISON: James Wassenberg ____
STAFF PRESENT: Kelly Nelson__X__ C. PRESENTATION: N/A D. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: 1. May 5, 2025 – Parks and Recreation Regular Meeting Minutes Haight motions to approve the Park minutes; approved 6-0
E. AGENDA:
1. Finalize Community Park Playground Color Scheme Commissioners review four versions of the Sunny Days color scheme and discuss which one they prefer. Option 2 receives several votes.
Brenton prefers Option 2 vs. Option 1, for example, because yellow is used as an accent color. In Option 1, it is used in all of the railings.
Williams wonders if a different canopy color is desired and points out the orientation of the swings. She asks if they can be flipped around so that caregivers can see out into the playground when pushing someone on the swings.
Commissioners favor Option 2 and direct Nelson to ask about minor changes such as green or aqua canopies and whether the merry-go-round can be done in orange with a green accent (reverse of how it is shown).
2. City Event Planning
Commissioners discuss the two upcoming City events, Ice Cream Social and Fall Fest.

Fall Fest will be held on October 11 but Brenton suggests moving it up from 1:00 to 4:00 rather than 2:00 to 5:00.
Faust mentions an event he recently attended at Rice Park and said the balloon animal artist was very popular. Haight adds that he enjoyed the dance performance last year at Ice Cream Social and the resource fair, too. Williams suggests having temporary tattoos. Information/Announcement 1. Upcoming Park Audit No action is needed from the commissioners. Nelson wants to provide an overview of the park
audit process since the commission is welcoming two new commissioners tonight. Commissioners will conduct individual park audits next month in lieu of a regular commission meeting. The findings allow the commission to make a list of improvements and amenities to be
done under next year’s budget. G. ADJOURNMENT: 8:02 P.M. Faust motions to adjourn the meeting; Approved 6-0
