July 23, 2009
1. Call to Order
Roll Call:
Staff Present:
2. Approval of minutes from the June 25, 2009 meeting.
3. Public Input - Citizens are encouraged to speak to the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commissioners
on issues of concern.
4. YMCA Update:
5. Unfinished Business:
a. Eagle Scout recognition: Do we have a date set for this with City Council? In past meetings, we
discussed acknowledging them at the Town Hall meetings. We did not do that this year. Should we just
set a standard that we will have this as part of the Town Hall meeting? Coach of the Year, Citizen of the
Year, and Eagle Scout recognition? Perhaps discuss this with City Council at our annual meeting with
them during a work session.
b. Music-in-the-Park Feedback:
Palm did not receive any feedback from the resident who offered contacts at June meeting. We can look at
future Music-in-the-Park events next summer.
c. Ball field improvements.
*Groveland: Looking at adding new fabric at wings and backstop, along with horizontal cross bracing to
prevent curling up. Also add overhang to top of backstop. Improve field grading to 60-feet with base pegs.
Bring in gravel to shorten infield and adjust field for drainage. Improve irrigation in field and around
building.
Do not know if we can add to the existing fencing, or if we need to replace the entire backstop.
COST ESTIMATE:
Silver View: Need new fabric and cross bracing for a few sections of backstop. Add 8-foot fencing
between bench fencing and backstop fencing. Angle from 6-foot toward backstop ending about 2 feet on
field side of backstop.
COST ESTIMATE:
Lambert Park: Add overhang to backstop. Add 8-foot fencing to the bench fencing on third base line
toward backstop. Add 8-foot swing gate to bench fencing at first base line. Chain it to existing 6-foot
fence for summer season, then swing it open and chain to backstop in winter for rink flooding.
COST ESTIMATE:
TOTAL COST ESTIMATE FOR ENTIRE FENCING PROJECT:
6. New Business:
a. Parking lot lights at Silver View Park. Xcel Energy should be putting a proposal together. $2,064
power run (one-time cost), $52 for 4 lights and $14 for 2 poles ($66 per month). Where does money to
pay the park lighting costs come from? Directed Staff to find how this gets budgeted for July
meeting.
b. Meeting with Bethlehem Baptist Church to discuss their bi-annual contribution. Palm will attend the
meeting set for July 29th at 8:30 a.m. Is there anything PRF Commission would like to be considered?
Per April 2009 PRF meeting, the City Council accepted the payment distribution for the BBC funds, which
include the following relevant expenditures:
Trail way project (benches, lighting, landscaping) $2,000
Backstop & Fence at Silver View Park $1,800
Landscaping around the Co. Rd 10 gateway signs $1,000
MVCC Audio / Video needs $1,001
Y-Partners $1,000
Edgewood Middle School Club Mid Program $7,000
Would aerators at Silver View Park be under consideration? We have had this on our agenda last year,
postponed August and Sept. 2008, but did not discuss in October 2009.
(From 9.25.08 minutes: Silver View Park: The proposals for the aerators has been received, they came in
higher than expected, we will want to talk about this. One of the pumps that we attained from the Bridges
Golf Course may have to be replaced. The cost for trenching and supplying the power is right at the limit of
what was budgeted. *Staff would like to carry this over to October meeting.)
This never happened.
Other considerations? Need cost estimates and prioritized list for meeting.
* Hillview Park rink resurfacing for rollerblading in summer?
c. Annual meeting with City Council during a Work Session. DeBar to set this up and inform Commission
of a date, September or October??
