MINUTES PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION July 6, 2017 The Community Services Manager reported the LCRA was sponsoring a bus trip to the Twins game for all of the Little Canada Baseball and Softball players and coaches. He explained this included about 50 people, and noted what a great opportunity it was for young ball players to get a chance to watch professionals play. The Community Services Manager reported a security system had been installed at the Old Fire Hall Warming House. He explained the restoration would now begin, and the bathrooms would continue to be locked unless the warming house is staffed. The Community Services Manager noted cameras would be put on the Old Fire Hall to monitor activities. He also stated the shed had not yet been removed, as the resident who planned to take it backed out. He reported Public Works was working on getting a disposal bin to get rid of it. The Community Services Manager also noted fireworks had been shot off behind the shed, and hoped its removal would prevent illicit activity. Schletty asked if the Pioneer Park Courts would also be resurfaced this year. The Community Services Manager reported the Council approved dual striping and an additional $8,000 to complete the resurfacing of the Pioneer Courts. He will also look into the cost of adding the City logo to the courts. He explained the resurfacing wouldn’t start until late August.
