The end post caps for the vinyl-clad fence will be glued tightly so they will not be 6 removed. Jindra asked if the Commission felt they should extend the fence to close the 7 gap by the high school or wait on this issue. Consensus was to wait. Jindra asked if the 8 Commission felt the fence along 33rd should be brought up along the water tower. 9 Council Liaison Thuesen stated he felt the fence was not necessary now, however, with 10 the new service road it could become a problem at that point. He suggested this be 11 watched. 12 9. Hallada suggested fabric be put in around the rose bushes. 13 10. The drinking fountain will be reinstalled to proper orientation and the concrete damaged 14 during installation will be repaired. 15 11.

The 4' height fence extension will be held off on until they see what happens with the 30 service road. 31 2. Concrete stair and ramp at the service road will be held off on. Extending the fence was 32 suggested as a cheaper alternative. Mr. Wong stated the fence is about 30 feet long and 33 will cost a little more due to the small quantity, at approximately $20 or$25 per foot. 34 Koehntop suggested putting in a gate for maintenance access. This would eliminate kids 35 running through the area. 36 3. Mr. Wong advised lighting for the basketball court was estimated at$5,000, however the 0 7 cost could go down depending on the type of equipment they wanted. Hartman noted when a light had been discussed previously, half of the Commission was in favor of a 39 light, and half of the Commission did not want a light. Consensus was to install a light.
