• Park Board Meeting — November 2, 2009 Minutes 6c. Joint Powers Agreement with Centennial School District Rick said the Centennial School District has been notified of the cancellation of the Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City and the Centennial School District. He said that the city is waiting to see what the school district is going to propose for the cost of using indoor and outdoor facilities. Rick also said that the budget has not been completed yet but it is proposed that there would not be any seasonal staff within the Parks Department Budget in 2010. Staff will keep the Park Board up to date on this issue. OLD BUSINESS: There was no old business to discuss. UPDATES: 8a. Recreation Update Rick said Gobbler Games (formerly named Turkey Shoot) is scheduled for Saturday, November 14 at the Centennial Middle School. He also stated that there were 36 soccer teams this fall for a total of 460 kids and 17 football teams totaling 356 kids in the football program. • He asked members to review the update and contact him if they had any questions. 8b. Park Update Rick reviewed a memo from Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor, which summarized the maintenance highlights for March through October 2009. Rick noted that the Marshan Building is getting upgraded with new siding, windows, and gutters. Again he asked members to contact him if they had any questions after reading the update. OPEN DISCUSSION: Pat Huelman talked about the joint meeting with the Environmental Board pertaining to the Emerald Ash Borer. He stated that the meeting was very interesting and informative. He talked about chemical treatment, how critical timing is and that a decision needs to be made about where to put resources. (i.e. parks, boulevards or residential trees.) It is very important that residents are educated on this issue. Rick told members that 2010 goals will be put on the next meeting agenda. Members talked about putting a memorial of some type in Marshan Park dedicated to Pam Taschuk. She was on the Park Board for 15 years and they thought it would be a nice gesture. NEXT PARK BOARD MEETING: Acting Chair Huelman advised the next Park Board meeting would be held on Monday, December 7, 2009 at 6:30 pm.
