Park and Recreation and Forestry Commission Meeting Agenda <br />February 22, 2007 <br />6:30 P.M. <br />1. Roll Call <br />2. Swear in new member (Darren Peterson) <br />On February the City Council approved the re -appointment of John Kroeger and appointment of Darren <br />Peterson to the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Council also appointed Jerry Kunz as Chairperson <br />to the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission. <br />3. Approval of minutes from the January 25, 2007 meeting. <br />4. Public Input - Citizens are encouraged to speak to the Park and Recreation and Forestry Commissioners <br />on issues of concern. <br />5. YMCA Update <br />6. Unfinished Business: <br />a.) Oakwood Park Proposal <br />Phase I <br />Quotes for Phase I items such as grading, irrigation, and fencing were received. As per the <br />minutes of the last meeting, sodding of the field areas was $25,000 to $32,000 — approximately <br />half of the cost of the total grading bids. Does the Commission wish to investigate / discuss <br />seeding as an option? A rough estimate for hydro seeding would be $9,600, and for Brillion <br />seeding (mechanically placing the seed) would only be $3,000. The time it would take for the <br />field to be ready for use would be longer with the seeding options. <br />Contract documents are being drafted. <br />Phase II <br />Phase II is the creation of a playground area adjacent to the proposed soccer fields. The <br />Commission has indicated a desire to investigate playground packages that are targeted for <br />younger children. The focus is to keep the cost under $15,000 for the equipment. Note: the cost <br />of the boarder and fiberfill material could be as much as $8,000 for a large area. The Gametime <br />web site displays numerous playground packages. Under the "Primetime" label and within the <br />cost range of under $15,000, it was suggested by Commissioner Palm that the play set "Mix It <br />Up", could meet this need. This has a list price of $14,453. A computer linked to this web site <br />with the display on the large screen will be available at the meeting to discuss this and other <br />various playground packages. <br />
