-2- <br /> POLICY FOR HANDICAPPED <br /> ACCESSIBILITY IN THE PARKS Director Saarion advised the Commission that she <br /> would be meeting with a Mr. Szyman from Courage <br /> Center to find out what would be needed to make <br /> our parks accessible to the handicapped. She • <br /> stated that she would compile the data and present <br /> it to the Park Commission at the June meeting. At <br /> that time the Commission could develop a policy <br /> for providing handicapped accessible facilities <br /> in City parks. <br /> USE OF ROLLER BLADES ON <br /> CITY TENNIS COURTS Director Saarion stated that the tennis courts <br /> were being used for roller blading. Suggestions <br /> for avoiding this usage in tennis courts was <br /> requested. The Commission agreed that signs <br /> should be posted specifically prohibiting roller <br /> blade use in tennis courts. In addition, it was <br /> suggested that alternative areas for roller <br /> blading be posted in the city newsletter such as <br /> Greenfield Park parking lot in the morning and <br /> afternoon and possibly the Silver View Park <br /> parking lot when completed. <br /> SILVER VIEW POND <br /> TREATMENT REQUEST A resident contacted Director Saarion with a <br /> concern about the odor from Silver View Pond which <br /> is caused by excessive algae growth. The <br /> Commission requested staff to get estimates on the <br /> cost of treating the pond to eliminate the odor. <br /> SILVER VIEW PARKING LOT Director Saarion reviewed quotes for the <br /> installation of curb, gutter and asphalt in the <br /> Silver View Park parking lot. The low bid of <br /> $43,884.25 was submitted by C.W. Houle. This bid <br /> was much lower than anticipated because C.W. Houle <br /> already had equipment at the Mounds View Business <br /> Park. Staff suggested that the entire project be <br /> completed as soon as possible to take advantage of <br /> the quote. Funds would be $32,000 budgeted in <br /> 1988 for the parking lot plus $14,000 from the <br /> park dedication fund. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Silvis, seconded <br /> by Commissioner Stevenson to recommend that the <br /> City Council accept the bid proposal from C. W. <br /> Houle in the amount of $43,884.25 for installation <br /> of curb, gutter and asphalt in the Silver View <br /> Park parking lot with work to begin immediately. <br /> Motion passed unanimously 6 ayes, 0 nayes. <br /> • <br />
