MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />February 7, 2006 <br />was allocated for rt. The Commission had talked about placing a deck over the wetland area <br />either off of Lake Street or Jackson Street. The Lake Street side contains a steep slope down to <br />the wetland, but is closer to the playground. Steinert felt that an observation deck could be <br />placed on top of the slope instead of down by the wetland thereby addressing accessibility <br />issues. The Commission seemed to prefer the Lake Street location due to its proximity to the <br />playground and the on-street parking. The Director indicated that this item will be carried over <br />to next month's agenda. In the meantime, he encouraged Commissioners to think about this <br />issue and even visit the area. Sanders stated that he would prepare a couple of sketches showing <br />proposed locations and would present estimates on cost. <br />COMP. PARK Sanders stated that the park inventory work for the Comprehensive Park Plan was completed <br />PLAN last fall. He presented Commissioners with new maps that were prepared. He also handed out <br />proposed text for each of the parks. He indicated that at next month's meeting, he will review <br />each park with the Commission to discuss issues and opportunities at each park. The <br />community survey results will also be presented. Following that, the Master Park Plan will be <br />updated with the items discussed and the text will be finalized. This process should take about <br />six months to accomplish. The Park Plan can be adopted separately from the City's <br />Comprehensive Plan. Sackett Glaser commented that this process is very important and could <br />impact the park system for several years. She commended Sanders for his work on this project. <br />COMMUNITY The Director stated that the community survey has been finished. Decision Resources is now <br />fiURVEY tabulating the results from the 400 residents that they surveyed. Their findings will be presented <br />at an upcoming meeting. <br />DIRECTOR'S The Director reported on the following items: <br />REPORT <br />The children's skating party was held last weekend.
