Unfinished Business: a.) Parks Promotional Video — Any further discussion / coordination for the Parks Promotional Video. b.) 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 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 tree impact based on what he walked with the original holes to give an estimate of tree removal or impact. 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 frorn the 1st hole, leaving a long walk back to the car. 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 per bridge The 15 hole course does not require any additional bridges over the 12 hole course. Rick Wriskey reviewed the site on November 14th. The Commissioners were also encouraged to walk the trail between Greenfield and Oakwood Parks prior to this meeting. c.) Developing a Volunteer Coach of the Year award and naming it after Patrick "Horner" Holmes — The Commission developed selection criteria, who would be eligible, and the process for approval. 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. 6. New Business:
