Roll Call <br /> <br /> <br />2. Approval of minutes from the October 25, 2007 meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Public Input - Citizens are encouraged to speak to the Park and Recreation and Forestry Commissioners on issues of concern. <br /> <br /> <br />4. YMCA Update <br /> <br /> <br />5. Unfinished Business: <br /> <br />Parks Promotional Video – Any further discussion / coordination for the Parks Promotional Video. <br /> <br />Disc Golf Course – The Commission directed staff to prepare a rough estimate for cost of foot bridges; and a bottom line cost estimate for the three options of 9, 12, and 15-hole courses <br /> for this meeting. An updated spreadsheet of the estimated costs has been completed. The Commission also directed Staff to contact the City’s Forester, Rick Wriskey, for a quantitative <br /> tree impact based on what he walked with the original holes to give an estimate of tree removal or impact. <br /> <br />The 9 hole course could be a problem to make user friendly because of the elimination of the southern holes. It would end at a substantial distance from the 1st hole, leaving a long <br /> walk back to the car. <br />The 12 hole is very user friendly and requires only three bridges. A 15' bridge on the 4th hole, a 15 footer on the 9th hole, and a 20' bridge on the 10th hole. We can plan on $500.00 <br /> per bridge <br />The 15 hole course does not require any additional bridges over the 12 hole course. <br /> <br />Rick Wriskey reviewed the site on November 14th. <br /> <br />The Commissioners were also encouraged to walk the trail between Greenfield and Oakwood Parks prior to this meeting. <br /> <br />Developing a Volunteer Coach of the Year award and naming it after Patrick “Homer” Holmes – The Commission developed selection criteria, who would be eligible, and the process for approval. <br /> The Commission will next finalize the application and set deadlines for this award. The Commission may want to review and recommend the wording for the plaque. <br /> <br /> <br />6. New Business:
