can sell it to another community? Most likely not. We can store it, but not sure about reinstall capabilities depending on how long we store; from code changes and manufacture recommendations. Palm & Arel prefer to move it to Silverview so it is in use and not in storage. Peterson hopes we could get it reinstalled by the fall. Getting replacement swings for Hodges could take more time. Could leave room to bring the dinosaurs back. Need a "Name the Dinosaur" at the Festival in the Park. Mills concerned about the email that said, "the most obnoxious thing ... was the loud piercing squeals and screams because these kids are having the best time they've ever had in their life." Are we removing joy from a park? Or are we moving an element? Motion by Palm to keep it down until we can move it to Silverview Park. 2nd by Bosneag. Lundberg wants to keep it up until it can be moved. Szurek says we can get a week window of when the contractor can move it. So we can keep it up until the week of the move. How do we pay for it? When we get bids, we don't need to have the decision come back, and it can go straight to the Council to approve and decide the funding. Wake Wiesner says more people are using it appropriately and would like to see it stay up until it is moved. Motion failed 4-3. Motion by Mills to put it back and not move it. Motion fails for lack of a second. We could put up a sign to ask for quiet hours and respect the neighbors. Motion by Arel, 2nd by Lundberg to put it back up at Hodges until it can be moved to Silverview. If we put it up and the Council chooses not to fund the move, then it will come back to the Commission. Motion Passed 5-2. Look into putting up a "quiet" sign. Staff will get bids and bring it to the City Council for approval and invite the Commission. We should put it back on social media and get notification to the neighbors. 8. NEW BUSINESS A. Annual Park Tour 5:30PM starting at Woodcrest - Comments/Conversation/ Results. Parks toured: Woodcrest, Silverview and City Hall. 1. Woodcrest: has a lot of nature opportunities. Like the future plan to make this a natural play space, but sad the playground is gone. How can we get some interactive signage about what is there: birds, trees, sights and sounds? 2. Silverview: Great to have signage that explains what work is being done there. We didn't understand all of the invasive species elements that are going on there, so we need patience to educate the public as well, knowing it takes time to understand all of the aspects of what is going on. We need to update the signage/QR code link with new information as it arises. It was a busy park! MVCC has a lot of opportunities provided for coordinated activities by the MVCC and just folks coming out to be there. Lots of people on the trail and can walk with more visibility and safety. Ask Andy Thomas to see if he can get a representative to come educate us about cricket. 3. City Hall: Also busy. Parking lot will be awesome -to begin after July 4th. People need to understand there is a process to getting the splashed up and running, and it's not just flipping a switch to turn it on -there are inspections required each year. Andy Thomas had cell phone tracking and said we had 37K visits by 19K visitors in the past year. 9. COMMISSIONER REPORTS: Palm: Reading Trail? Gaga Ball pit? and Park video? Reading Trail will be at City Hall during the ice cream social and penny carnival. Gaga Ball pit will be ordered and installed at Groveland using park dedication funds. Park video with Nine North is still on the list. Gender neutral bathrooms at City Hall and some other park buildings. If you want a paver for the Tribute Park, order by June 15th. 10. REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS / OTHER BUSINESS: 11. Next Regular Commission Meeting: June 25112025
