Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission Meeting Agenda July 23, 2009 1. Call to Order Roll Call: Staff Present: 2. Approval of minutes from the June 25, 2009 meeting. 3. Public Input - Citizens are encouraged to speak to the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commissioners on issues of concern. 4. YMCA Update: 5. Unfinished Business: a. Eagle Scout recognition: Do we have a date set for this with City Council? In past meetings, we discussed acknowledging them at the Town Hall meetings. We did not do that this year. Should we just set a standard that we will have this as part of the Town Hall meeting? Coach of the Year, Citizen of the Year, and Eagle Scout recognition? Perhaps discuss this with City Council at our annual meeting with them during a work session. b. Music-in-the-Park Feedback: Palm did not receive any feedback from the resident who offered contacts at June meeting. We can look at future Music-in-the-Park events next summer. c. Ball field improvements. *Groveland: Looking at adding new fabric at wings and backstop, along with horizontal cross bracing to prevent curling up. Also add overhang to top of backstop. Improve field grading to 60-feet with base pegs. Bring in gravel to shorten infield and adjust field for drainage. Improve irrigation in field and around building. Do not know if we can add to the existing fencing, or if we need to replace the entire backstop. COST ESTIMATE: Silver View: Need new fabric and cross bracing for a few sections of backstop. Add 8-foot fencing between bench fencing and backstop fencing. Angle from 6-foot toward backstop ending about 2 feet on field side of backstop. COST ESTIMATE: Lambert Park: Add overhang to backstop. Add 8-foot fencing to the bench fencing on third base line toward backstop. Add 8-foot swing gate to bench fencing at first base line. Chain it to existing 6-foot fence for summer season, then swing it open and chain to backstop in winter for rink flooding. COST ESTIMATE: TOTAL COST ESTIMATE FOR ENTIRE FENCING PROJECT: 6. New Business: a. Parking lot lights at Silver View Park. Xcel Energy should be putting a proposal together. $2,064 power run (one-time cost), $52 for 4 lights and $14 for 2 poles ($66 per month). Where does money to pay the park lighting costs come from? Directed Staff to find how this gets budgeted for July meeting.
