<br />8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />A. Review Groveland Park 2015 Improvements <br />1. Fred Kolkmann Tennis & Sports Surfaces – Staff feels that the Matéflex material is the <br />preferred method. Will last 15-20 years. The outside is nailed down and built from the <br />outside-in making it difficult for vandalism to occur by pulling up the surface. Limited to <br />fire damage, replaceable with small segments. Would need to have lines painted once <br />every five years or so. Tolerant to multi-use for bikes, in-line skates, various shoes, and <br />basketball courts. How do we prep the surface? Need to level the surface and fill <br />existing cracks. May have to shave high spots. How do clean it? Blow leaves off in fall, <br />will need to power wash periodically as well. How do we maintain in later years if we <br />need to replace segments? Extra pieces are included in price. The locking system will <br />always be consistent and interchangeable. Fred will meet with Staff to look at the <br />Groveland tennis courts and return next month with more concrete estimate. <br />2. Minnesota/Wisconsin Playgrounds – Harlan Lehman: We can salvage and use some <br />posts and equipment to reuse and repaint. New swings in two different sets, add tot lot, <br />add some new platforms. 3’ cement curbing around with wood fiber chipping Motion by <br />Kroeger, 2nd by Palm to recommend to the City Council to move forward with <br />Minnesota/Wisconsin Playgrounds’ proposal by reusing existing features and <br />adding new features as presented for the Groveland Park playground. Motion <br />Passed 8-0. Color idea: Blue poly, Starlight large posts, gray decks, Other post colors? <br />Blue??? <br />B. Review Park Guide Brochure: Made some changes. Palm will send changes to Peterson, <br />as well as Danielson and Arel working with Peterson on grid. Staff will bring back at April <br />meeting. <br />9. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. Review Park and Recreational Facilities Improvement Plan Worksheet: Working on various <br />items listed on the plan for 2015. Need to consider where Hillview hockey rink may fit in. <br />Roste has information from a company that works with hockey rinks and will share the <br />information with Staff for future discussion. Consider Rice Creek erosion by County Rd 10 <br />and County Rd H where people fish at the site. This is an issue for RCWD and Ramsey <br />County. City Council Priorities include investigating a splash pad. Staff is looking into grant <br />money to help fund this project in the future. <br />10. COMMISSIONER REPORTS <br />A. Katovich: New Emerald Ash Borer found in Ham Lake. Anoka County has been added to <br />quarantine. <br />B. Long: Geese issue at Silver View Park. What solutions do we have? We can get dogs to <br />come and chase them, provide shiny objects such as pinwheels, invisible objects such as <br />fishing line, swan rental. <br />C. Aukee: Any intention of dredging Silver View pond? Not at this time. <br />D. Kroeger: Park Dedication Funds: Do we have the money from BioLife and BelRae <br />developments included?
