MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 27, 2015 <br />shuttle. He also pointed out that a sidewalk will be added along <br />Centerville Road this summer connecting Pioneer Park and Spooner Park. <br />Fischer asked if parking passes were issued to those people on the <br />Canadian Day parking list. Hedlund reported that passes are issued. <br />Miller suggested the addition of more parking in the lower area of the park <br />if portable lights could be rented. <br />Sanders noted that several parking spaces are allocated for Canadian Days <br />sponsors and suggested that these people be asked to park in Pioneer Park. <br />McGraw was against that suggestion feeling that could jeopardize the <br />Committee's relationship with these sponsors and that they should be able <br />to park within the Canadian Days designated parking area. <br />Keis noted that when he has parked in the designated parking area no one <br />has ever asked to see his permit. Hedlund reported that the parking is not <br />always policed and to his knowledge they have never had any cars towed <br />that parked in this area unauthorized. Hedlund indicated that this year <br />they will try to monitor the area better to eliminate the unauthorized <br />parking. Hedlund and Goswitz also commented on the need for <br />committee members to park close and that they frequently are in and out <br />of the park when running errands during the event. <br />Sanders noted the success of the classic car event. Hedlund reported that <br />it has been successful and growing and that people really enjoy the car <br />show. <br />Hedlund stated for this year the goal was to document the parking layout <br />and address the horseshoe pits to help with the circulation in and out of the <br />designated parking area. He also indicated that a future task would be to <br />look at the parking area a little closer to determine if the removal of a tree <br />or two would be helpful. He suggested that there may be some poor <br />quality trees that could be removed. Sanders felt that reasonable and <br />suggested that the Commission would be willing to look at the removal of <br />a tree or two near the road. The Director indicated that he has observed <br />people using the trees adjacent to the park shelter for shade placing <br />playpens, etc. in this shade. The Director also suggested that after this <br />year's event perhaps the new owners of the house across the street could <br />be approached to see if they would be interested in leasing parking space <br />to Canadian Days. Gagne reported that they were approached and <br />indicated they were not interested. However, agreed that perhaps after this <br />year's event they may change their minds. <br />Keis noted that the reforestation would occur 20 feet in from the existing <br />tree line. He asked if that would open the possibility for taking out more <br />trees expanding the parking area that was established a couple of years <br />5 <br />
