BASKETBALL GOALS: Director Saarion reviewed options for basketball goals for the Community Center. Options included installed ceiling goals or portable goals. Benefits of the portable goals were that they were less expensive, offered flexibility to move goals for '/z court play on half the gym floor and opportunity to store them when other activities are occurring in the gymnasium. Commissioner Stevenson made a motion seconded by Commissioner Dentz to recommend purchase of the portable goals. Motion passed unanimously. WOODCREST PARK BLDG. Staff reviewed information obtained of portable classroom building options from a Lakeville company. The buildings are portable and would be set on block, leveled and anchored. Commissioners discussed the special needs for a building at Woodcrest because of the high water table and moving soils. Commissioners were not completely "sold" on the portable building. Staff will continue to search out options for a replacement park building for Woodcrest Park. SUMMER REC PROGRAMS: Director Saarion updated the Commission regarding summer programs.
