MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />,7anuary 6, 1994 <br />done with or without the capital improvement fund. Wehrle <br />felt that some of the items on the list are considered <br />"re-development" items rather than maintenance items because <br />they are so old and in need of repair. The Director agreed <br />stating that in the case of the re-roofing of the shelters <br />at Spooner Park, the roofs have seen 18 years of life and <br />are in need of attention. <br />Wehrle stated that he had a problem with resurfacing of the <br />tennis courts at Spooner Park. He felt that this item could <br />wait a year. The Director stated that it could wait another <br />year. However, a good surface protects the courts from <br />moisture. <br />Remerowski asked where the picnic tables and benches were <br />needed at Pioneer Park. The Director stated that they were <br />designated for people to rest on when using the trail. <br />Magnuson felt that paving of the trails at Pioneer Park <br />should be top priority since they are used so much. <br />Remerowski felt that asphalt shingles should be used instead <br />of metal on the Spooner Park shelters to drop the price if <br />the project is to be done in 1994. <br />Johnson agreed that Pioneer Park trail paving should be a <br />higher priority.

Johnson felt <br />that it was difficult to ride bikes on gravel. <br />Wehrle asked if the $30,000 figure for paving of the trails <br />at Pioneer Park was accurate. The Director stated that the <br />price could come in under the estimate. <br />Holm asked if 1996 was soon enough for the parking expansion <br />at Pioneer Park. Johnson wanted to know if the extra <br />parking is needed. Hartmann stated that the parking is <br />needed. However, he felt that the park should be finished <br />first before the parking is added. He also felt that the <br />trails should be paved first. <br />Wehrle stated that he was comfortable with 1996 for the <br />parking expansion for Pioneer Park. However, he felt that <br />possibly the temporary parking should be increased or the <br />ball game schedules staggered to help with the parking <br />problem. He felt that the Director should try different <br />options. The Director stated that he has discussed <br />staggering games with other cities. They felt that due to <br />-7- <br />
