Parks Commission Meeting Minutes May 1, 2000 Page 4 1 possibly sod one field and play on it sooner, however, it will still need time to establish. He 2 stated it is not worth their investment if they.do not allow the time needed for this. 3 Jindra stated they will have to allow two seasons for the fields to establish. 4 Sports Booster Representative Zurbey asked what type of detail is needed to get to Phase 3. Mr. 5 Kost responded the Commission needs to finalize the components for the park, as new things 6 keep coming up. He suggested they hold a special meeting or work session where they do 7 nothing but go through the list from a couple years before. 8 Jindra agreed they might need another session, as in less than a month they have an opening at 9 Silver Point Park. They also need to work with Water Tower Park and continue with this 10 discussion on Central Park. She stated the Council wants to know what is going on with this. 11 Thuesen said it will help the Council to see what kind of direction the Commission wants to go 12 with this to determine financing. 13 Consensus was to schedule an additional Park Commission meeting for May 15, 2000 at 6:00 14 p.m. Gebhardt noted she would not be able to attend. Zurbey requested a copy of the Central Park Plan to take to Sports Boosters. Mr. Kost responded he could bring the copy he was working off of tonight. 17 Zurbey inquired about bleachers in the plan. Mr. Kost said bleachers were not included in the 18 original plan and are not included now. Zurbey stated bleachers are necessary and will take up 19 space in the plan. 20 Mr. Kost suggested the ten-foot trail be changed to an eight-foot trail. This would give needed 21 room and would also be the same size trail that is included in Silver Point Park. He noted it will 22 be tight to have a trail and bleachers, and this will have to be studied. 23 Jindra suggested eliminating the middle trail to add more room for bleachers. Mr. Kost -24 suggested they consider taking two trails out and changing the loop. 25 Koehntop noted they should keep the field space located in the middle. Mr. Wong advised it 26 would be difficult to keep all of this. Zurbey commented trails will be needed to walk to the 27 bathroom area. 28 Mr. Kost stated there are many people in the community that do not have anything to do with 29 sports that want to use this park and trails are a huge amenity. Jindra stated she had been contacted by a resident regarding a two-story shelter in Minnekanda that had bathrooms on the lower level and an area on the upper level where people could look 32 out. She said she would obtain a picture for the Commission to review. Mr. Kost responded
