Parks Commission Meeting Minutes January 8, 2001 Page 3 t not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. Mr. Hartman explained there needs to be some resolution of 2 feelings between the Commission, staff, and the consultants. 3 Jindra stated she would like to see the communication increased between the Commission and staff 4 to resolve hard feelings and keep all issues in the open. Zurbey concurred. 5 Jindra indicated she would like to have someone involved throughout this entire process and to have 6 access to the site. She noted this was the reasoning behind asking for Mr. Anderson and a Park 7 Commission liaison. Mr. Hubmer indicated this would not be a problem. He stated he is not looking 8 to snub the Park Commission and would like to continue to serve the City and Park Commissioners. 9 Mr. Hubmer stated the hard feelings started from his work on the pavilion and lack of comments 10 from the Commission. He indicated he was unaware of the negative feelings of the Commission as I I he only referred to the meeting minutes for direction from the Commission. Mr. Hubmer reported 12 he does not want to work against the Commission within any aspect of Central Park. 13 Koehntop stated there was agreement to have a Park Commission liaison at the construction 14 meetings on a weekly basis to listen and update the Commission on the issues. 15 Wagner volunteered for the position and indicated he worked on several projects in the past with the 16 City. Jindra indicated she was not ready to appoint a liaison at this time, but stated she wants the 17 Commission to come to a greater consensus on this issue. 18 The Park Commission came to a consensus to have a liaison from the Park Commission to the 19 weekly construction meetings. They noted this position would be to have an extra set of "eyes and 20 ears" for this project and to report back to the Commission of the upcoming events and issues. 21 Zurbey indicated he would like Mr. Hubmer to keep the project roughly $1.6 million and to keep the 22 Park Commission aware of options or tradeoffs for savings within this project. Mr. Hubmer stated 23 he would keep on top of these tradeoffs and keep the Commission aware of their options. He 24 explained that because the Commission meets once a month he would like subcommittee members 25 to report to Mr. Hartman of their suggestions and questions throughout the month. 26 Jenson asked how the Park Commission subcommittees would work. Mr. Hubmer stated he would 27 pass along the first set of plans to the Commission members upon receipt from BRW, for review 28 within the subcommittees before the next Park Commission meeting. He noted after review the 29 subcommittee's comments and suggestions could be forwarded to staff and then brought to BRW's 30 attention. 31 Mr. Hubmer asked how the chalk line for the ball fields was done in the past. He questioned if the 32 Commission would be in favor of flexible stakes in the ground for alignment. Mr. Hartman noted 33 the chalk lines were measured each time in the past, but the flexible stakes would be a great addition. law
