<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />d.) There was the suggestion of starting an “ADOPT-A-PARK” program. Would the Commissioners be <br /> interested in pursuing this? Could encourage area residents, families, and businesses or organizations to “Adopt-a-Park” to clean up and contact city staff <br /> if major damage or repairs are needed. <br /> How do we advertise? <br /> Could we post a sign at the park for groups committing to do this? <br /> Expectations to consider: length of time to commit, frequency of cleaning, contact person <br /> First step to get the word out to determine interest. Kroeger put an advertisement together for the Mounds View Matters, City cable channel and website. Commission <br /> modified. <br /> As residents contact Dazenski, he will put together a list of people that are interested and forward to Commission. <br /> <br />4. Other New Business? <br /> a) Revisit fee schedule for field and park building rental <br /> Need to consider: classification of organizations, defining “event,” and who is getting the “free <br /> event” per week so individual coaches are not reserving the field rotating weeks so as to get them for free. Direct staff to include current fee schedule and classifications with July <br /> agenda. <br /> <br /> b) How to increase adult softball leagues with business sponsorship. Combine with local cities, especially with co-ed leagues. Offering existing or past leagues to re-establish at <br /> a discounted rate. Try to get past participants to take charge to build the program. YMCA programming directives. <br /> <br />c) Pickleball: Ask MVCC if they can incorporate the game into the summer parks program and purchase equipment at local sporting goods store. Could tape off basketball or existing tennis <br /> court to determine interest. <br /> <br />d) Town Hall Meeting survey results. Not available. Direct staff to bring to July meeting. <br /> <br />e) Can we get ball field dimensions on a spreadsheet for future references: Each park and the field dimensions/depth and age range for each. Pat Prindle compiled data received from public <br /> works staff. Commission had spots for clarification to be completed (see Kroeger draft). Review again in July. Should we put this information on the city website? <br /> <br />f) 50th Anniversary celebration. Park and Rec ideas? <br />*Hide a medallion with clues on the city hall board. Palm contacted Festival in the Park Committee who was supportive if the Commission took charge of the prize and promotion. We would <br /> need to develop parameters, clues, and prizes. Could post clues at area businesses, City Hall, and MVCC. No Commissioners were available to pursue this at this time. <br />*Could wear MVCC t-shirts and carry various sporting equipment during parade. <br />*Put a Park and Rec booth at the festival? Shifts? No other city booths are planned. <br /> <br />g) Park Tour: Lakeside, Woodcrest, Random, Silverview, and Lambert Parks were toured. <br />Possible improvements include: <br />Lakeside Lions Park: nothing needed attention. <br /> <br />Woodcrest: 1) Level border of playground. 2) Add wood chips to playground. Clearing of trees has helped with visibility Trees have been cleared and wood chips will be delivered July <br /> 9. <br /> <br /> <br />Random: Line basketball court <br />Later this season. Picnic tables and grill were installed June 25, 2008.
