Parks Commission Meeting Minutes July 10, 2000 Page 4 1 The implementation of horseshoe pits as noted on the cost estimate was discussed because 2 horseshoe pits already exist at another park. Other options were considered instead of 3 horseshoe pits. 4 The Commissioners held a discussion regarding the turf to be implemented on the fields. 5 Additionally, Mr. Kost pointed out that the old wading pool would be demolished and a new 6 one built. Furthermore, sand volleyball was discussed for the Park as noted on the cost 7 estimate, as well as shuffleboard. 8 Specific details were discussed and reviewed, such as drinking fountain(s), benches, litter 9 receptacles, bike racks, and park signs. 10 Zurbey inquired if the Commission was being asked to approve the Central Park plan as pre - 11 sented. Mr. Kost mentioned that it would be beneficial to have the plan approved so that it 12 could be presented as sort of an unveiling at the VillageFest celebration. 13 Zurbey noted that he planned on taking the plan presented by BRW to the Sports Boosters 14 with the understanding that there would be some field rotation and some scheduling 15 information. 16 Jindra wished to state that she appreciated Mr. Severson's attendance and input. She did wish 17 to clarify, however, that the Parks Commission was not involved in field management and 18 field scheduling. 19 Mr. Severson agreed and noted that he wanted to work together with the residents and the 20 Parks Commission in making Central Park successful. 21 Mr. Kost said that a laminated board with the proposed Central Park redevelopment plan 22 would be made up to place at VillageFest. Comment cards were suggested to be placed 23 appropriately so that residents could make comments about the proposed plan. 24 Jindra mentioned that the timeframe question has been mentioned repeatedly by residents 25 regarding the park. Discussion ensured regarding the best time to close the park in order to 26 begin reconstruction and it was mentioned that possibly sometime in June 2001. 27 Jenson recommended that Zurbey discuss possible funding issues with the Sports Boosters 28 and the level of commitment of funding in which the organization is interested. 29 Jindra reviewed that the Commission would approve the plan as presented with changes as 30 discussed at the meeting, and that a laminated board would be presented at VillageFest 31 depicting the proposed plan. Wagner and Jenson agreed that the City Council should review 32 the Plan prior to presenting it as a proposal at VillageFest.
