MINUTES Parks & Recreation Commission January 6, 1994 Sanders suggested that the signage could be moved to a lower priority and only re-roof one of the shelters -- the amphitheater at Spooner Park. The City could save approximately $15,000 to $20,000 there, then possibly the trails could be moved to 1994. Wehrle felt that Westwind trail paving and Pioneer Park trail paving should be done together. Remerowski thought there could be a savings if bid as one project. The Director stated that if the amphitheater is re-roofed in 1994, he would like to see metal used since kids have lit fires on the roof in the past. Wehrle agreed with the Director stating that metal could be used on the amphitheater and asphalt on the other shelters. He felt that the color of each material could be matched. The Director stated that he was in favor of the Westwind trail paving since the residents in that area have donated land for a trail easement. Hartmann agreed. The Director felt that the picnic tables, benches and signage could wait. Remerowski stated that he felt the park donations should be advertised more by possibly putting it in the local newspaper. Johnson felt that a picture of Joe Fasciana with the bench he donated could be placed in the paper with an article. Greger felt that the price for signage was high. He felt that temporary signs could be used to save money. The Director felt that the Commission should revisit the temporary signage issue. Remerowski recommended funding the Westwind trail paving ($17,000), Pioneer Park trail paving ($30,000), and Spooner Park amphitheater re-roofing ($4,500) as 1994 Capital Improvements. Motion seconded by Hartmann. Motion carried 7 - 0. Sanders commented that he hated to see Gervais Mill Park delayed indefinitely. The Director stated that at future meetings, the Commission can discuss the placement of other items for future funding. -9-
