Szczepanski stated that he liked the security issue with having it close to City Hall and <br />Police. <br />Roepke stated that wherever we put it, the kids will come. <br />Szczepanski would like it to be centralized in the City. <br />The committee discussed the sizes of the proposed skate park. Kroeger stated that we <br />could expand it if need be at the Community Center. Dazenski replied not really, there <br />isn't a lot of room to expand. <br />Sonterre asked how long will the skate boarding fad last? Gunn replied that's why the <br />tennis courts at Groveland make sense because it could be put back as a tennis court. <br />Kroeger asked where should the skate park go? <br />Szczepanski suggested voting. Gunn replied we've already done that. <br />Sonterre stated that whether the residents of Groveland do or do not want the skate park, <br />the committee must make their decision on what is best for the City. In your opinion, <br />what would be the better recommendation for the City as a whole. <br />Gunn asked how close will the skate park be to the Community Center building? She <br />expressed concern about the graffiti and damage to the walls. <br />Sonterre stated that it will be televised by the camera. <br />Dazenski said there would be nothing to vandalize at Groveland except the fence. The <br />Community Center has block work and that would have to be sandblasted. He thinks <br />there is a great potential for grafitti on the building. Also, there is not an existing water <br />source, would we put in a fountain? Or should they come in the building all of the time? <br />Dazenski also expressed his concern about using the emergency exit. There is a reason it <br />is there; what does the fire code state? <br />Motion to abandon Groveland Park as the site for the skate park and look more seriously <br />at the Community Center. <br />Motioned: Kunz <br />2"d; Szczepanski <br />Discussion: None <br />Motion unanimously passed. <br />Followup: <br />Direct Staff how to maintain a secure skate park at the Community Center. What is the <br />building code regarding emergency exits. <br />Kroeger motioned to direct Staff to find out what it will take to prepare the surface for <br />skating. Also what it would take to provide a secure control in and out. <br />2nd by Szczepanski <br />Discussion: <br />Gunn would like a finding as to the impact of taking out the basketball court. Kroeger <br />said this could be included when talking to the neighbors. <br />Kroeger: Agree to amend motion. <br />Motion unanimously passed <br />Sonterre presented an "Outstanding Community Service Award" to Frank Silvis. <br />Sonterre left the meeting. <br />
