Review of future needs of Parks and Recreation: High priority included installing key cards <br />and security cameras at all parks, replace soccer nets at Oakwood, replacing Random Park <br />playground, and Silver View building improvements (seating and kitchen). Next step is to <br />look at costs of these items and adjust priorities as needed. May need another joint meeting <br />with City Council. <br />C. Review of Silver View Park – Netting for Outfield Ball fields: The contractor raised the price <br />from $25,915 to $30,700. Staff is recommending the Commission ask the City Council to <br />rescind the bid and wait to see if prices go down. Kroeger asks that the netting be put back <br />on the Park Amenities and Future Needs list/Park Improvement Plan. Motion by Kroeger <br />to ask City Council to rescind Resolution 9427 to install netting to the Silver View <br />Baseball Outfield Fence until a lower cost can be quoted. 2nd by Lillemo. Motion <br />Passed 6-0. <br />8. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. Greenfield trail – condition, repairs: A resident calls Public Works weekly regarding the trail <br />conditions. The City is looking at some sort of coordination with RCWD for maintenance. <br />This trail does have a lot of wetland space. If we maintain it as is, adding aglime as needed <br />for muddy areas, we can keep it as a natural trail. Encourage Commissioners to walk this <br />trail for further discussion and add it to the Park Amenities and Future Needs list/Park <br />Improvement Plan <br />9. COMMISSIONER REPORTS:
