Parks Commission Meeting Minutes October 11, 1999 Page 3 1 Mr. Wong stated that he had sent a letter to Little Tykes expressing the Commission's disap- 2 pointment in the handling of the equipment. Jindra mentioned that the Commission would have 3 appreciated more forthright communication from Flannigan Sales. 4 Wolff reminded the Commission that at one of the early meetings with Flannigan Sales, Brian 5 Flannigan had promised to supply samples of colors for the slide, as well as the other equipment. 6 Wolff felt that obligation was not fulfilled and that the problem with receiving the equipment is 7 not limited to Little Tykes. s Jindra asked Mr. Wong for a timeline that the Commission needed to make a decision about the 9 damages it expected. Mr. Wong suggested that the equipment should be delivered and installed 10 and then a letter can be written. 11 Jindra offered that this has been a learning experience for the Commission as far as ordering 12 equipment. Mr. Wong reiterated that Flannigan Sales has been reliable in the past, and this has 13 been an unusual and disappointing situation. 14 Jindra asked Public Works Director Jay Hartman about the status of the satellite bathrooms for 15 the winter. Mr. Hartman stated that on approximately November 1, the satellites would be re - 16 moved. Community Services Representative Roadfeldt thought that a satellite would be needed 7 for people who still use the park after that date. Mr. Wong mentioned that it is not a normal 18 practice to leave satellites over the winter. 19 Jindra mentioned that the Commission had discussed additional lighting for the basketball courts 20 at a prior meeting. Mr. Hartman offered that a security light would be installed, but additional 21 lighting is a wish list item. Wolff mentioned that residents have asked her about lighting for the 22 basketball courts. 23 Jindra asked Mr. Wong to obtain an estimate on additional lighting for the courts. Wolff men - 24 tioned that the basketball courts are in constant use and additional lighting would be beneficial. 25 As an aside, Mr. Wong mentioned that he had received a letter from Flannigan Sales stating that 26 it had thoroughly checked the playground equipment for safety and found the equipment to be in 27 safe order. 28 Jindra thanked Mr. Wong for his attendance and input. 29 V. SILVER POINT PARK UPDATE. 30 Jindra stated that she had visited the park and that it looks excellent with the fall colors and that 31 the grass is taking hold. She stated that she noticed the basketball nets and backboards from the 32 old Silver Point Park have been installed, but that they are somewhat rusty. Jindra requested that 33 Mr. Hartman investigate the possibility of replacing those in the spring. Another item Jindra (--34 noticed at the park was that grass was growing in the infield and that would have to be watched.
