various agencies (including the Commission) will increase our probability of being successful. Staff will present a letter of support to the Commission for consideration of execution. Park Watch Program – Is this a program the Commission wants to implement? What would it entail? Bethlehem Baptist Church: Dedication of Funds – Annually the Bethlehem Baptist Church makes donations to several charitable organizations. It would be advantageous for the City to create a list of civic items that would benefit from such a donation and submit this to the Bethlehem Baptist Church. YMCA Advisory Committee Appointments – With expiration of Shari Kunza’s term on the Commission, there is a vacancy on the YMCA Advisory Committee on which she served. The YMCA Advisory Committee meets on the first Monday of the month at 2:30 PM. Are there any Parks and Recreation Commission members who wish to volunteer for serving on this committee? Meeting with City Council – Annually the Commission meets with the City Council. Is there a preferred work session date on which the Commission would like to meet – March 5, April 2, or May 7? Also, the Commission may want to develop a list of agenda items and topics to discuss with the City Council. Town Hall Meeting April 14, 2007 – The 3rd Annual is scheduled for April 14, 2007. There will be a table/booth set up for Parks. What would the Commission like to have available for display at this booth? (The new “Facility Guide”, photos and info on new park buildings, Oakwood Park project…). Also, the City will be creating a promotional video that will be shown on cable TV and at the Town Hall Meeting. This video will have a segment (5 to 10 minutes in length) showing parks facilities. It will also include / make mention of the parks facility guide that was recently created. What items / facilities would the Commission like to see in this promotional video? 7. Commissioner/Staff Reports: Random Park Building Status Report Groveland Park Building Status Report Indoor Playground Equipment at the Mounds View Community Center Report Skating Rink Update County Road 10 Trailway Project: Segments 9&10 Project Update – On January 8, 2007, the City Council approved the plans and specification and set a bid date of February 8th for this project. The drinking fountain and bike racks were removed from the plans as per the Commission’s recommendations. On January 22, 2007, the City Council made a motion to direct Staff to facilitate the creation of revised plan sheets and specifications to include a bid alternate to deduct the boardwalk bump out area. The estimated cost of the boardwalk bump out area is $4,900; the cost to revise the plans and specs and change the bid documents is estimated to be $1,200 to $1,500. Any Other Reports? 8.
