April 27 minutes <br />Page two <br />Director Saarion asked that the Commission give direction in <br />setting priorities for resident and non-resident participation. <br />Commissioner Stevenson stated that in the case of the aquatics <br />program, summer youth instructions should always be given <br />priority over adult aquatic activities. <br />After discussion, the Commission decided that each program is <br />unique and participation priorities should be determined on an <br />individual basis by department staff. <br />CHAIRPERSONS REPORT Chairperson Burmeister reported that the footings were <br />installed at the new Lakeside Park beach house and plumbing <br />installation had begun. He added that the civil defense siren <br />had not been moved yet. <br />COUNCILMEMBER'S REPORT Councilmember Quick reviewed the actions and items from the <br />previous month's Council Meetings which included <br />authorization for the purchase of picnic tables and the hiring of <br />summer parks groundskeepers. <br />GREENFIELD SECURITY LIGHTING Director Saarion reviewed two bid proposals from electrical <br />contractors, Gopher Electric and Bacon Electric, stating that <br />both proposals exceeded the budgeted amount. These bids <br />cover the lighting of the general Greenfield Park area, not the <br />trail area. The Commission agreed that security lighting for <br />Greenfield Park was a priority item and asked staff for <br />financing suggestions. <br />Director Saarion suggested the following ways to finance the <br />installation of security lighting at Greenfield Park: <br />1. Substitute funds from another project for the lighting. <br />2. Save money from this year and add additional funds next <br />and do the project in 1990. <br />3. Request additional funding from the City Council. <br />4. Use park dedication funds. <br />Chairperson Burmeister stated that he would like to see the <br />security lighting go in this year. After discussion, the <br />Commission decided to change the twin volleyball court at <br />Hillview to a single court and eliminate the purchase of bike <br />rakes, which will allow enough additional funds to complete <br />the security lighting at Greenfield Park. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Silvis, seconded by <br />Chairperson Burmeister to recommend to the City Council the <br />approval of the bid proposal from Bacon Electric for the <br />installation of security lighting at Greenfield Park. Motion <br />carried: 5 ayes, 0 nays. <br />
