Parks Commission Meeting Minutes December 11, 2000 Page 2 Hartman noted without focusing on the funding issue, he hopes to increase the creativity of the Commission for the pavilion concepts and components. 3 Jindra indicated she would be in favor of a covered area within with park near the 4 concession/pavilion structure for shelter from the sun and picnicking area. 5 John Druger, Sadness Construction, addressed the Commission with several drawings he 6 designed for the Commission. He indicated he would needed additional information from the 7 Commission before a completed sketch could be before the Commission. 8 Skrivseth indicated during the summer, community services has a children's program within the 9 shelter for six weeks to house a kids club. She stated the revamped shelter would need to still 10 house this event. 11 Jindra reviewed a picture of a pavilion in the City of New Brighton with the Commissioners. 12 She noted New Brighton had just completed five shelters throughout their parks with warming 13 houses and activity rooms with exterior patios. Jindra asked that the Commission members visit 14 this site to gain ideas for the intent of the building. 15 Zurbey indicated the New Brighton building was impressive and had senior activities available in 16 the meeting room. He indicated he would be in favor of offering these same services for St. 17 Anthony seniors. The Commission concurred. 18 Jensen asked if there was a constraint on renovating the current building. Jindra indicated the 19 Commission currently has $100,000 at this time. 20 Mr. Hartman cautioned the Commission about focusing on the price tag at this time because the 21 Commission should be addressing the components needed at this time and not the financial 22 issues. He asked that the Commission prioritize the items needed at the concession stand and 23 shelter/warming house. 24 Mr. Hartman stated the concession stand would essentially consist of restrooms and a concession 25 stand. The Commission concurred. Hartman asked if the Commission would like to have a 26 subcommittee to address the components of the shelter structure. 27 Jindra indicated the subcommittee would not be necessary and suggested several components for 28 the shelter as being: four restrooms — two male/two female, a storage room, a warming 29 house/meeting area and an outdoor a picnic area. 30 Gebhardt indicated she felt the grading in this area could be a concern for handicap accessibility 31 and the potential use by seniors within the shelter. Mr. Hartman indicated this would have to be 32 addressed.
