Review Park Improvement Plan: Priorities are Silverview Park playground replacement, and <br />Hillview Rink improvements. We are considering delaying Hillview Rink improvements due <br />to low use the past few years. Need to clarify if Hillview roof replacement and Greenfield <br />parking lot resurfacing are out of park dedication funding or park maintenance <br />budget/special projects. Direct staff to clarify funding sources for April meeting. <br />8. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. Discuss Playground Replacement Options at Silverview Park: Representative from <br />Minnesota Playground is here to help provide suggestions. We would like to have it <br />installed this spring. Commission liked layout option #1 with KidTime tot lot, and 4 swings. <br />We have to consider topography and layout. Commissioners are encouraged to visit the <br />park to look at site before April meeting. MN Playground will revise option #1 to keep <br />about $100K. Green and brown color scheme. <br />B. Consider an Applicant for Commission Appointment: Motion by Kroeger 2nd by Long to <br />recommend Richard Daher to be appointed to the Park, Recreation, and Forestry <br />Commission.
