<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Phase III <br />Disc Golf – Cost estimated have been developed for a 9-Hole and 18-Hole course: <br /> 9-Hole 18-Hole <br />Design $900 $1,500 <br />Goals $3,420 $6,840 <br />Footings $1,350 $2,700 <br />Tee pads $900 $1,800 <br />Clearing Staff / Golf Volunteers <br />Sub total $6,570 $12,840 <br />10% contingency $ 657 $1,284 <br />TOTAL $7,227 $14,120 <br /> <br />The design for a 9 hole course is $900.00 and for a 18 hole course is $1500.00. This would assure that our course would be built to acceptable standards thru the National Disc Golf Association. <br /> Disc Golf at Oakwood / Greenfield: The prices are between $360.00 and $380.00 for the goals depending on the style. This would be 9 or 18 depending on the course. Concrete and rebar <br /> would cost approximately $150.00 per hole. The tee pads could be developed by staff for approximately $100.00 each. They would be bituminous and should hold up very well. The clearing <br /> and brush removal could be done in house and would enlist the help of the Frisbee association to assist. When the Silver View course was installed they were available and helpful. Tree <br /> removal will be kept to a minimum. We are basically looking at scrub bushes and stunted saplings. The corridors or freeways are not very wide and efforts would be made to keep any larger <br /> trees in play. Signage could be installed at a later date, and we could do without the blacktop tee boxes for awhile. We could use gravel and aglime (we will have some from the ball <br /> field). The area where the old playground stood would need to be trimmed back and maybe some of the cottonwoods removed due to their condition. We do have some saplings growing just <br /> east of that area. Staff discussed these with our forester and he felt it would be better to get some bare root plantings instead of trying to transplant our existing saplings. <br /> <br /> <br />Park Dedication Fund Review – The estimated fund balance of the Park Dedicated Fund as of December 31, 2006 was $994,808.13 plus an estimated interest amount of $15,000. <br /> <br />Park Improvement Plan - The Park Improvement Program was last updated in June of 2006. A review and update of the Park Improvement Program should be initiated. <br /> <br />The Park Improvement Program includes a complete review of all the needs in the park system. These include both short term and long term needs. The program then categorizes them into <br /> three groups: <br />Maintenance (do now) <br />Budget (budgeted item for 2008, 2009, or 2010) <br />Long Term (large expenditures added to Capital Improvement Program) <br /> <br />Park Watch Program – Is this a program the Commission wants to implement? What would it entail? Commissioners Aukee and Kunz will draft an article for the next Mound View Matters <br /> <br />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 <br /> 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? Darren Peterson? <br /> <br />Meeting with City Council – Annually the Commission meets with the City Council. This has been set for April 2, 2007. Does the Commission want to develop a list of agenda items and topics <br /> to discuss with the City Council?
