7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. City Hall Park – Veteran’s Memorial: On the radar of the City Council and City
Administrator. Staff will reach out to an architect for design and cost estimates. Encourage
Staff to include veterans from the city to be involved in the design. Include the 2 residents
that died in the 35W bridge collapse as well. (Park Memorial v. Veterans’ Memorial?)
B. Park Improvement Plan: Looked at suggested improvements for furniture replacement in
some park buildings and additional picnic shelter space at splash pad for rental space in the
coming years.
8. NEW BUSINES
A. 2019 Fee Schedule – Review at next meeting.
B. Bethlehem Baptist Church – Park Project Funding-It seems that their focus for funding has
been more toward programs rather than improvements of buildings and parks. Direct Staff
to ask BBC for the things they are looking for to fund. Would park improvements enhance
programming with MVCC? Would this be more likely to be funded?
