Has there been any feedback from neighbors on County Road H with the sidewalk coming in? They were invited to the PRF Commission meeting and City Council meeting. Only two residents were opposed. Because the sidewalk will be next to the street, the city will maintain. Applying for a Safe-Routes-to-School grant that would pay 100% of the cost. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Review Park Improvement Plan: Not available. Review in May after Park Tour. B. Discuss Playground Replacement Layout at Silver View Park: Layout is in a circular layout. Commissioners who met at Silverview before the meeting suggest moving it about 10 yards North. Do not include cement path from building to playground. Instead create ADA accessible pathway from the existing paved path on the east. Motion by Palm, 2nd to recommend new playground installation at Silverview Park with proposed layout; moving the playground farther north, eliminate sidewalk from building, and create ADA accessibility from existing path on the east, with the price not to exceed $110K including topography adjustments. Motion died for lack of second due to suggested amendments. Motion by Palm, 2nd by Peterson to recommend new playground installation at Silverview Park with proposed layout and quoted price of $105,151.47. Motion Passed 6-1. Consideration of organizing a community volunteer group to help with installation and save costs. Need 45 people and save about $10K.
