C <br /> CALL TO <br /> ORDER: Chair Burmeister called the meeting to order. <br /> ROLL CALL: Commissioners present included Chair Burmeister, <br /> Commissioners Long, Silvis, Starr, and Dentz . <br /> Commissioner Stevenson was absent. <br /> MINUTES: Commissioner Silvis made a motion seconded by <br /> Commissioner Dentz to approve the minutes of <br /> August 24 , 1995 . Motion passed unanimously. <br /> PARK <br /> IMPROVEMENTS : Staff reviewed the report outlining park suggested <br /> park improvements which dealt with safety issues <br /> in the parks, especially athletic field fencing. <br /> Commissioners discussed the improvements and <br /> requested that information regarding cost <br /> • estimates be completed and reported at a future <br /> meeting. <br /> WOODCREST <br /> PARK OPTIONS : Staff reviewed the idea of community gardens, <br /> located at Woodcrest Park and asked Commissioners <br /> if they were interested in pursuing this option <br /> for leisure uses of Woodcrest Park. The <br /> Commission discussed pros and cons of this use, <br /> but decided that it is probably the only use that <br /> would be low-cost. Community gardens would <br /> provide a more passive and natural use of the <br /> park. The park is well-suited for this type of <br /> activity with available water and sufficient soils <br /> and space and parking. The only potential problem <br /> would be the likelihood that vandalism of gardens <br /> may occur. The Commission wishes to pursue this <br /> use for Woodcrest Park in 1996. <br /> UPDATES : Staff reviewed information on activities of the <br /> department including park maintenance and project <br /> activities, the Community Bonfire activity, and <br /> golf course activities. <br /> PEDESTRIAN <br /> • BRIDGE: Commission members inquired as to the status of <br /> the pedestrian bridge. Staff indicated that the <br /> issue was still before the City Council . The <br /> issue will be on the agenda of the next City <br />
