Parks Commission Meeting Minutes September 11, 2000 Page 5 1 Additionally, Mr. Hartman noted that there would be benches placed around the outside of the 2 skateboard park for spectators. 3 Jindra thought it would be a good idea to invite the police to a Parks Commission meeting and 4 review security measures for the surrounding parks. Thuesen agreed and believed that the Police 5 already patrol those areas, but it would be a positive way to review current and future procedures. 6 It was decided to post the signs that Mr. Hartman had made up and presented and if further issues 7 needed to be added, they could be added to the signs at that time. 8 Jindra mentioned that she had been in contact with a company that would come to the City and 9 plan a type of grand opening and have prizes and hoopla for the new skateboard park. Different 10 weekends in September were discussed to have this event, as well as a weekday evening. 1 t Monday, September 25, 2000 at 6:00 p.m. was determined to be the date to have the grand 12 opening event for the skateboard park, depending on the availability of the company that will 13 host the festivities. Jindra will check with the company and if they are available, then the event 14 will be held on September 25, 2000. 15 Jindra invited comments from the Commissioners about an article she had written for a local 16 newsletter.
