MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />March 6, 2008 <br />facility. Morelan said it was not a feasible undertaking because of the elevation of the sewer <br />lines. <br />Maida made a motion for the City to negotiate for the purchase of land from St. John's Church <br />south of the hockey rink, move the pleasure skating rink to that location, and to do any <br />necessary or required repair work to the warming house. Steinert seconded the motion. Motion <br />carried 6-0. <br />Fahey made a motion to locate the skate board park in the current pleasure skating rink area. <br />Motion was seconded by Steinwall. Motion carried 6-0. <br />Maida inquired if there were any grants available if additional funding would be necessary for <br />completion of the skate park. Sanders stated that there was a grant available called the Tony <br />Hawks Skate Board Grant that was for $ 10,000. Morelan thought we will pursue that grant. <br />Steinert was confident that if the total cost of the skate park hovered around $100,000 that the <br />LCRA would fund the total project. All the commissioners felt that the city council members <br />were in favor of the skate park and would hopefully support additional funding if necessary. <br />Morelan stated there was new lighting scheduled for the hockey rink. Sanders stated that two <br />new poles would be added on opposite corners of the rink. <br />TRAILS Sande <br />1) <br />2) <br />3) <br />4) <br />5) <br />6) <br />7) <br />s commented on his list of seven trail projects that were yet to be completed; <br />Centerville Road/County Road D <br />Power Line Trail/Payne Avenue to Pioneer Park <br />Waterworks Trail/Railroad Crossing <br />Rice Street "Trail <br />North/South Connection -Middle School to Troutbrook <br />Waterworks Trail/Little Canada Road to Sextant <br />Sunset Court/Turnquist Wetland Trail and Boardwalk <br />Some trails needed property owner's approval, some required tie-ins with street repair projects, <br />some were very expensive projects, and some just needed to be further reviewed. Morelan <br />stated that two other trail projects should to be added to the list: <br />8) 35E Pedestrian Crossing <br />9) Westwind Trail link down Country Drive to South Owasso Blvd. <br />Morelan stated the city council would like a priority listing of these trails, identifying and <br />focusing on the need of each trail and an action plan. Davis suggested the commissioners <br />prioritize the trails with either a short term or long term time line for the next meeting in April. <br />Fahey reminded all that Trail #1 and #4 depended on street reconstruction projects timing. <br />Maida asked if Sanders could make a new trail map showing existing and proposed trails in <br />different colors. Sanders agreed he could do that. <br />ARBOR DAY Morelan stated that Arbor Day is April 25`", but the celebration has been moved up one week to <br />April 18`".
