southwest side. Chair Miller asked if artificial turf could be installed for <br />the soccer field at Pioneer Park to improve playability. Councilman <br />Fischer asked if any games had to be cancelled due to weather and the clay <br />soil. The Community Services Manager stated games did have to be <br />cancelled to avoid ruining the field for the whole season. He noted there <br />had been discussion about creating a multiuse field, but staff had to be <br />very selective because of the clay soil. Kost noted turf could be installed <br />or the field could be reengineered with sand. Staff present were unsure on <br />the cost difference between the two options. The Parks Maintenance <br />Supervisor noted the field can only be used by City permitted teams, and <br />others had to be told to leave because of worries about field conditions. <br /> <br />Kost asked the Commission to discuss their ideas for the park’s central <br />shelter. Schletty noted it was unfortunate the space couldn’t be better used <br />in its current configuration. The Commission agreed the shelter played an <br />important role in the park, but noted they were limited due to ADA <br />compliance. Kost explained the shelter could stay as is, but the upper level <br />could not be used for public events. He stated if the shelter were updated, <br />in addition to standard maintenance, the shelter would have to be brought <br />into ADA compliance, by installing an elevator. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Anna Leibel
