<br /> MINUTTS <br /> <br /> Parks & Recreation Commission <br /> <br /> April 1, 2010 <br /> Sullivan asked if the park and recreation staff ever set up practice boards for tennis players to <br /> use on the tennis courts. Morelan replied that it has not been a practice to set that up but they <br /> do have one that they use for the youth tennis lessons program that they could leave by the <br /> tennis courts. He has never had a request to use the board in the past, but will have parks <br /> personnel mount it inside of the fence at the Spooner Park tennis courts. <br /> Sullivan asked Sanders how the Troutbrook Trail plans were progressing. Sa~rders stated the <br /> plans are moving along well and the Met Colmcil has requested cost estimates from the <br /> committee which is a good sign the funds are also being discussed. Morelan stated that the <br /> person who was assisting us from the National Parlcs Service was sent to Omaha for a couple <br /> months and is back working on this project again now. Meetings are being scheduled to <br /> continue discussions on this trail project. <br /> Lohnaugh asked Morelan if there is currently a disc golf area in any of the city parks. <br /> Morelan replied that there is not but commented that Acorn Park in Roseville has it available. <br /> Chair Fahey commented that the Skate Park is being well used with the nice weather. <br /> Morelan agreed that is busy all the time and it was a very good investment to build the Skate <br /> Park as many youth use the facility. The equipment has weathered very well through the <br /> winter months. <br /> Steinwall reported there is graffiti on the inside of the slide at Rondeau Park on Jackson <br /> Street. Morelan replied that he would have the city staff remove the markings. Chair Fahey <br /> said she recalled at one of the previous years' goal setting sessions that it was suggested to <br /> have a graffiti ordinance written for the city. Morelan stated other cities have adopted such <br /> an ordinance requiring property owners to remove any and all graffiti within a specific time <br /> frame. After more discussion, Chair Fahey requested that the city adopt, with the <br /> recommendation from this commission, a graffiti ordinance for the city. <br /> ADJOURN Upon motion by Lolmaugh, seconded by Sullivan, the meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m. <br /> R//espectfully submitted, <br /> f:~f~~ j~~~~ <br /> Dotty Norgard <br /> Recording Secretary <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br />
