Please limit your comments to three minutes. <br />Council Member Gary Meehlhause: A resident approached him to ask about reserving the full <br />court at Silverview Park for youth basketball leagues.

YMCA: Brittany Wilson from MVCC: See attached report. <br />1. Concern about renting soccer field space to adults at Silverview. We need to check into <br />our past minutes to see what our position is on adults using the field. Do we give youth <br />priority for reservations and then let it open to whomever? <br />2. Question about reserving Silverview basketball court: Allow youth small group <br />basketball through Irondale Basketball to reserve for free 1-2 times per week (fee <br />schedule allows 1 per week, $5 for additional times), with the understanding we will <br />revisit in the fall with resident feedback if there are conflicts with others who may want <br />to share the court. <br />B. Public Works: See attached report. Consider turning some parkland into prairie land for our <br />pollinating friends. Could be future agenda item. <br />7. UNFINISHED BUSINES <br />A.
