MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />JULY 1, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />5 <br />Commissioner Abruzzese provided an example of another park that tied public art into benches <br />and seating. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath stated that there was a park on a previous tour that had different <br />elements built into the playground equipment, such as famous quotes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu commented that she loves the idea of incorporating art as part of the <br />programing to engage the community. <br /> <br />Mr. Shields reviewed details related to tree management. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hipp commented that perimeter landscaping will be a great improvement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ray commented that in the spring they noticed flowering fruit trees and asked if <br />there is a reason those are not within the parks. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager commented that there are a lot of flowering trees within the <br />parks but noted that they only have a two-week window where they flower and therefore often <br />go unnoticed. He was unsure if there were flowering trees in Pioneer Park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Abruzzese commented that it would be nice to have trees that people could eat the <br />fruit from as well, such as apple trees or berry bushes. She stated that she likes the idea of a tree <br />nursery that is mutually beneficial if trees need replacement anyway. <br /> <br />Mr. Shields identified the next steps. He provided some information related to cost and <br />prioritization in order to create an implementation plan that could be phased. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath commented that he believes the playground replacement should be the <br />first priority. <br /> <br />Commissioner Abruzzese stated that she would feel the prioritization should follow the order <br />that was presented tonight unless specific grant opportunities arise that bring one element to the <br />top. <br /> <br />Chair Miller agreed that the options should be ready in case grant opportunities present <br />themselves. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager agreed that having the plan in place helps to move forward <br />on elements when opportunities arise. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ray commented that lighting would be something that could easily move forward <br />at a low cost and would be impactful to the park. <br />
