5. Unfinished Business:
Greenfield Park– the long term vision for the parkland and existing trailway located north of Oakwood Park and east / northeast of Greenfield Park.
Staff has developed plans for Greenfield by defining pathway layout options. These plans provide options with and without bridges. General costs estimates have been developed for the
Sherwood access ($2,000 + bridge), top dressing and regarding the pathway ($5,000-$8,000), and refurbishing and installing the existing bridges ($50,000 to $90,000).
The Commission will review their calendars with the intent of setting up a Clean Up Day for this park at this meeting.
Annual Meeting with City Council – This meeting has been set for April 7, 2008. The Commissioners may want to discus various issues they would like to discuss with City Council.
6. New Business:
City Hall Playground Equipment Replacement Project –
This has been budgeted for in 2008 ($38,000). The Commission would like this completed before 50th Anniversary celebration at MV Festival in the Park.
Assignment for the Commission is to review the Game Time website at http://www.gametime.com/ to start looking at what type of play equipment the Commission will recommend. GameTime
has submitted a draft plan form the Commissioners consideration.
Staff has determined that the estimated costs are for the playground fiberfill, and any other non-equipment items are $6,600. This amount can then be subtracted from total budgeted amount
to determine the estimated budget for the play equipment. $38,000 - $6,600 = $31,400
