October 23, 2008
6:00 PM
1. Call to Order at
Roll Call:
Staff Present:
2. Approval of minutes from the September 25, 2008 meeting:
3. Public Input - Citizens are encouraged to speak to the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commissioners on issues of concern.
YMCA Update:
Discuss rental fields at Oct. meeting after MVCC has “fair share” discussion with SAB and IBL.
5. Unfinished Business:
a. 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.
b. There was the suggestion of starting an “ADOPT-A-PARK” program. Information has been submitted for the website, cable TV, and MV Matters.
c. Off leash dog park: At this time we do not have enough interest from the community to support pursuing this. We would like this to be a question proposed at the 2009 Town Hall
meeting if they have a survey board as they did in 2008.
6. New Business:
a. Lambert building replacement fast tracked per city tour discussion. Report on Hillview and Groveland size and will it fit at Lambert?
Lambert building 33’x33’ but space enough for existing building
Hillview building 21’x52’
Groveland building 22’x56’
Consider glass block window or sky lighting as alternatives for natural lighting do to location of ice rinks and ball fields to deter hockey puck or baseball window damages.
Direct Staff to investigate cost of site plan.
b. Revisit fee schedule for field and park building rental
Need to consider: classification of organizations, defining “event,” and who is getting the “free
event” per week so individual coaches are not reserving the field rotating weeks so as to get them for free. Should we eliminate the “free” event for field use? Commissioner Palm
will email the fee structures and classification to other Commissioners. MUST DECIDE AT OCTOBER MEETING.
c. The subject of Park Dedication Funds to be used on Hillview for parking spaces. This was sent out to all the commissioners last month. A copy of resolution # 7307 is included
in the packet as Items
5 and 6 and addresses the Park Dedication Funds that are proposed to be used in the funding for the parking
7. Commissioner/Staff Reports:
ALRC Biking Committee—Darren Peterson is a representative for that committee. Not present.
Any Other Reports?
Spring Lake Park plans to install skate park at Terrace Park in the Spring 2009 $40K.
City Staff has the following projects in the works.
e) We had some vandalism on the Hillview playground, someone broke a piece off the structure. We have ordered the part and it will be repaired ASAP. It does not present a hazard by
being absent.
*Staff will pull together names of Eagle Scouts for the November meeting and Commission will recognize them at the December meeting.
*Groveland vandalism and Oakwood Park vandalism. Can we get annual reports of vandalism incidents with number of incidents and cost of staff time and equipment? Could report annually
in MVMatters to encourage residents to call and report.
