OPEN MIKE: Mr. Mark Tafte, 6441 Clearwater Creek Drive, came forward and stated he moved into the Clearwater Creek development approximately five weeks ago. He inquired about the plans for Clearwater Creek Park and if those plans included an ice rink. Rick advised an ice rink at Clearwater Creek Park had been previously discussed. The problem is the damage that is done to the turf during the off season. The budget is also an issue. In the past few years, the City has phased out unsupervised skating rinks. There would have to be a lot of neighborhood support for the City to pursue an ice rink at that park. He suggested Mr. Tafte raise the issue of a skating rink at a neighborhood meeting. Rick also advised Clearwater Creek Park was master planned a few years ago with a lot of neighborhood input. Currently, the large open play area will remain an open grass area. Chair Lindy noted the master plan for the park is available at City Hall for review. Rick indicated he would send Mr. . Tafte a copy of the master plan for Clearwater Creek Park. Aaron stated he is the Park Board liaison for Clearwater Creek. He advised Mr. Tafte he would be happy to attend any neighborhood meetings to discuss the park. ADOPT 2004 PARK BOARD GOALS FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION: Rick referred to a memo regarding the tentative Park Board Goals based on discussion the past few months.
