6. STAFF REPORTS
A. YMCA: See attached report. Getting ready for new fitness programming for adults this fall.
Discuss possibility of large groups renting the entire park (i.e. Silver View). Concern about
limited parking for public, and the group using spaces that were not officially rented (softball
field), are not able to be rented out (basketball court), as well as larger garbage haul-away.
Direct Staff to come back with a recommendation for further discussion.
B. Public Works / Forestry: See attached report. Katovich present. Look at tree trimming at Silver
View soccer fields and activity of disc golfers. If disc golf is down, it may be due to Ramsey
County ditch activity-could promote the course is open on social media.
7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Update Greenfield & Groveland Tennis Court Rehab project: Contractor has started! Fencing
will be saved for other purposes.
8. NEW BUSINES
A. City Hall Park – Splash Pad/Play Ground: Need to rearrange position of splash pad and
playground/swing area due to electrical and water. Consider squeezing the three components
together or separating splash pad farther east away from playground. Staff will meet with MW
Playground to discuss layout options on Monday. Construction will not begin until after Festival
in the Park in August.
B. Review Park Improvement Plan Greenfield and City Hall Park: Will have MW Playground out to
inspect Greenfield playground along with City Staff and make recommendation. Where might
we be able to repurpose old City Hall playground equipment? Look at designs and ideas for
Veterans’ Memorial and reach out to area organizations for funding.
