MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />September 1, 2022 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Chair Miller asked for an update on youth members. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director stated that the Park and Recreation Commission does not yet have a <br />youth applicant. He stated that staff will begin to solicit applications from high school students. <br /> <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS: DOG PARK SITE FURNISHINGS <br />The Parks & Rec Director stated that the temporary dog park has been a success and staff <br />continues to hear requests. He noted that while they continue to find a location for a permanent <br />location, perhaps there are enhancements that could be made to this temporary location. He <br />estimated a cost of $5,000 to $7,000 to add some features at the dog park. <br /> <br />Chair Miller asked if the intent would be to purchase multiple pieces at once or purchase one <br />item at a time to see how well they are received. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director stated that the intent would be to purchase three or four items at one <br />time. <br /> <br />The Recreation Coordinator stated that some companies sell the items in sets of three or four <br />items as well. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mui stated that as a user of the dog park, the most important feature at dog parks <br />is seating for people. He stated that it would also be nice to have a water feature for dogs to <br />drink. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director provided details on the temporary dog park which is a hockey rink <br />with a small bench. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath stated that there is a bench listed and perhaps that could be a priority. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hipp stated that perhaps a few benches. She asked how this came about. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director stated that this was identified in the master plan but because there was <br />not a permanent location identified it was not a top priority. He stated that with a cost of around <br />$5,000, this could be a low-cost item that would add a desired amenity that residents have been <br />requesting recently. He stated that he is working on the CIP and therefore thought it would be an <br />appropriate time to discuss the item so that it could be incorporated into the plan <br /> <br />Horwath introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />RECOMMENDING CITY STAFF ADD DOG PARK SITE FURNISHINGS TO THE <br />CIP <br />
