MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />September 6, 2001 <br />• The parks maintenance building was also repainted. The brick on the building should be <br />cleaned and resealed. <br />• Adult fall softball is underway. There are three leagues -Wednesday Women's, <br />Wednesday Men's, and Thursday Men's. <br />• Roseville Parks & Recreation has requested the temporary use of Pioneer Park on <br />Tuesday evenings for their football program. In exchange for use of this facility, they <br />have agreed to do the weekly striping of our soccer field in that park. <br />• A girl scout approached the Director about planting a butterfly garden at Pioneer Park. <br />The garden is on the Centerville side, it is 9' x 9', and has a fence around it. The girl <br />scout has since planted some plants and will perform maintenance on the garden. <br />OTHER Sanders asked about the status of the Capitol View Learning Center. He was wondering who <br />is using that building. The Director stated that 916 maintains the use of that facility, 623 <br />retained use of the outdoor areas such as the tennis courts acid ballf elds, and he felt that <br />portions of the building are rented out to other organizations. He indicated that the pool area <br />was replaced with a new addition to the school. <br />Broten commented that there is ragweed around the Aspen Pond and it is giving him a rash. <br />It's also hard on people who suffer from hay fever. Some of the weeds are 7-8 feet tall. The <br />Director stated that he will have Parks Maintenance look into this. <br />Schabacker stated that the Rice Street Task Force met last night, but he was unable to attend <br />due to a conflict with school. He stated that he has school on Mondays and Wednesdays so if <br />future meetings are held on those nights, he cannot attend. He felt that another member of <br />the Commission should attend in his place if he cannot make the meetings. Schabacker also <br />mentioned that he would not be able to attend the October Commission meeting due to <br />another conflict. <br />Steinert mentioned that a resident asked him if the Parks & Recreation Commission made the <br />decision to eliminate parking on Australian Avenue because of the trail connection. Sackett- <br />Glaser stated the Commission was not involved in that decision. <br />Steinert also inquired as to the purpose of the curb cut on Desoto Street in the northeast <br />corner of Pioneer Park. The Director stated that the curb cut was installed for a future trail <br />connection, and since there are now more people to justify the comrection, maybe it should <br />be added to a trail project for next year. The Commission agreed since it seems to get a lot of <br />use. <br />Sackett Glaser stated that she has noticed a lot of buckthorn around the city and wondered if <br />the city ever gets involved in its removal. The Director stated that the city does not have an <br />ongoing project for its removal, but we could educate the public of the problems associated <br />with it through the newsletter with the hope that residents would tape steps to remove it from <br />their properties. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
