Motion to recommend to council to install sideline fences at City Hall and Silver <br /> View parks and dug outs and enclosure at Silver View, and to have staff apply for <br /> the Twins grant in hopes to defray some cost by Wake Weisner, second by <br /> Lundberg. Motion passes 6-0. <br /> Councilmember Meelhouse: special projects: brought up the question on whether the <br /> budget for the challenge course could be used for ball field improvements, but there is a <br /> question of whether the challenge course actually has that budget available. <br /> Pitching mound at Greenfield park: staff is trying to find someone that can build a <br /> pitching mound, so is still waiting to find a price. <br /> B. Ga Ga Ball Pit Location <br /> At park tour in May of 2023, there was a suggestion of adding a Ga Ga Ball Pit at <br /> Groveland. Staff received projected cost for 26' GaGa Ball Pit at$3,410. <br /> Ga Ga Pit can not be installed on asphalt, and woodchips can become problematic. <br /> Natural turf works best-grass wears down and turns to dirt. <br /> Motion by Wake Weisner to have staff purchase GaGa Ball Pit and install at <br /> Groveland Park in Southeastern corner, second by Lundberg. Motion passes 6-0. <br /> C. Restroom Signs at Park Buildings <br /> City administrator is bringing to city council. Splash pad currently has gender neutral <br /> restroom.

Council will look at further. <br /> 9. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. Eagle Scout Candidate—Blue Bird Houses—deferred until February <br /> B.
