Needs to be gutted and repaired. Positions for custodial, event center and seasonal employees are open.
B. Public Works — Don Peterson: See attached report.
7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. City Hall Park — Update Challenge Course: Commissioners like the idea of the challenge course at City
Hall Park. Perhaps GT Wave as well. This is not committing to elements, but to move forward with
approval to City Council for further discussion. YALP features are not on current plan, but could be added
later.
8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Silver View Park — Pickle Ball Court where current horseshoe pits are located. Can move horseshoe pits
to the west of the building where the old playground was. Potentially add lighting the pickleball courts. May
have to remove some trees, but not sure if they are high value trees. Direct Staff to investigate the disc
golf path usage (discs and traffic), potential tree removal, and cost with and without lighting.
B. Review Application for Commission Seat: Previous appointed seat is unable to join the Commission, so
we are reviewing a new applicant. Motion by Palm, 2nd by Lillemo to recommend the applicant to the
City Council for approval. Motion Passed 6-0.
9. COMMISSIONER REPORTS: Wake Wiesner travelled to see playgrounds and saw amazing playgrounds in
other states and communities. We need to keep adding amenities to our playground and keep things up-to-
date.
