MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />MAY 4, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3 <br />The Parks & Rec Director commented that this was an attempt to list some of the upcoming <br />projects with estimations of completion dates. He noted that if there are projects the group <br />would like to further discuss for the future, they could take a field trip to another community that <br />has those assets to learn more and plan for the future. <br /> <br />Chair Horwath thanked staff for compiling the list. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schletty asked for more information on the Spooner Park electrical updates. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director commented that they have recently learned that the operation is not up <br />to code for Canadian Days and therefore more electrical service is needed. He noted that the <br />item will be completed no later than the end of July in anticipation of Canadian Days. He also <br />provided details on the wood fiber updates, noting that is a maintenance item completed every <br />four years. <br /> <br />Commissioner Delong Miller asked for details on the enhancements to the dog park. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director recognized that the City has been working on larger park projects and <br />the Commission also wanted to include some smaller items, such as the enhancements to the dog <br />park. <br /> <br /> <br />REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS <br />Commissioner Delong Miller commented that she ran around the lake in preparation for the Sap <br />Run and noted that most of the road has been cleaned. <br /> <br />The Recreation Coordinator provided additional details on the preparation and setup for the <br />event. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schletty commented that the parks are looking good. He noted a recent visit to <br />Rondeau Park and commented that the shelter looks very nice. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hipp commented that she also visited Rondeau, noting that the project was very <br />well done. She stated that she also visited Nadeau, which is a quieter park, and commented that <br />she enjoyed the wildlife area. She asked if there was an opening event for Gervais Mill. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director replied that it did not rise to a ribbon-cutting event.
