MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />June 4, 2015 <br />PIONEER PARK <br />PONDING - <br />EDUCATIONAL <br />PLAQUES <br />ICE CREAM <br />SOCIAL <br />EAGLE SCOUT <br />PROJECT <br />ADJOURN <br />sidewalk could sit behind the hydrant. Another member mentioned the <br />Historical Society would like to have a drinking fountain and hose connection <br />for watering the garden, on the corner of Gervais Mill Park and Noel Drive. <br />The Commission agreed this would be a good idea. <br />Last month the City Engineer looked into having the Watershed provide <br />funding for plaques around the pond which included a description of the <br />surrounding environmental benefits. The City Engineer mentioned at this <br />time the Watershed had no additional funds for the educational plaques in <br />Pioneer Park, but would be happy to help write up verbage for the signs. <br />This year's ice cream social will be held on July 30th, in Spooner Park from <br />6:30pm to 8:OOpm. Sullivan and Fahey reported the Puppet wagon will be at <br />the event as well as the fire trucks. The Director is working on getting some <br />clowns to come. Sullivan and Fahey also reported they have not heard back <br />from the K-9 Unit, but everything is coming together nicely. <br />Cory Huot appeared before the Commission last month, and reported that he <br />is working on his Eagle project and is proposing the concept of erecting a <br />shade canopy or sun shade over the picnic table area at Veterans Memorial <br />Park. He presented some concepts for the Commission's review. One <br />involves a roof over the picnic table area and the other a lattice structure. <br />There are two options for the lattice structure, one would be an open lattice <br />and the other with a material over the lattice which would provide more sun <br />screening. <br />Last month, the Commission asked Huot to look into construction and costs <br />of the shade canopy and bring that back to the Commission. The <br />Commission has not heard from Huot, but wanted the Director to send him <br />an email asking about the budget and plan. Maida noted he found quite a few <br />inexpensive Pergolas on the Home Depot website and thought that would be <br />good for Huot to look into. The Commission thought it would be a good idea <br />to send that information to Huot as well. The Director will follow up with <br />Huot. <br />Maida moved the meeting be adjourned. <br />Motion seconded by Sullivan <br />Motion carried 5 — 0. <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:23 p.m. <br />4 <br />
