DRAFT October 01 , 2018 <br /> would be nice to have one there so people could get out of the rain. Also asked if the <br /> concrete trail in the plan was needed. <br /> Rick DeGardner commented that the path was asked for by the residents. They want <br /> something for the kids to bike around on. <br /> Clark Gooder stated that the tennis court would not be serving the broader community but <br /> highlighted that it is something the residents want. He questions what type of precedent <br /> they are putting forward for other parks by doing this. <br /> Andrea Schmidt reminded the board that the residents stated they live on large lots. They <br /> don' t need green space. They want amenities that are not in their backyard. Others <br /> outside the neighborhood could use the tennis courts. <br /> Clark Gooder stated that by doing all this it would be $237 ,000 out of a $500,000 budget <br /> and worried that people will fill the chamber room asking the Park Board when is their <br /> park getting it next. Recommends that they hold to the primary priorities at $ 110,000 and <br /> look to where else they would need to pull the funds from . <br /> Andrew Levi states it would be easier if it was 2 questions <br /> 1 . Do you approve the master plan? <br /> 2 . Where do you find the funds? <br /> States that the funds is really what people are getting hung up on. The plan looks fine as <br /> that is what the residents said they wanted, but it is more than what they talked about in <br /> terms of funds. <br /> Pat Huelman states that in the past they have approved master plans and then the <br /> approach is where they start funding within the master plan. States they have a lot of <br /> master plans that are not fully funded and that has been part of the conversation with the <br /> City Council . <br /> Richard Jensen stated he does think a shelter should be in the primary priority. <br /> Pat Huelman suggests that they should vote on the approval of the master plan and then <br /> go back to it. Huelman commented that they should extend the path to get them to the <br /> park. <br /> Richard Jensen motions to approve Arena Acres Master Plan. Andrea Schmidt seconds <br /> the motion. Arena Acres Master Plan passes with all in favor. <br /> Pat Huelman asks the Park Board Members what their recommendation to council is for <br /> moving forwarded with master plan. He suggests telling them to start with the Primary <br /> Priorities of the master plan first. <br /> Page 3 <br />
