Parks Commission Meeting Minutes February 14, 2000 Page 6 1 able system is a relatively new concept because it is easy to assemble, and disassemble, and is 2 lightweight. However, those boards are expensive at around $30,000. 3 Hartman stated that it was important for the Commission to determine exactly what will be pro - 4 vided in the park and at what phases. In the Year 2000, for example, he stated there was security 5 lighting needed, hockey lighting if rinks are installed, plus the Commission needed to determine 6 what type of pavilion would be constructed. In other words, should there be an enclosed warm - 7 ing house, or an open type of pavilion. 8 Jindra asked Hartman to ensure that Mr. Hubmer would be at the next Commission meeting and 9 that measurements for a figure skating rink, hockey rink, and warming house be presented. 10 Thuesen asked if lighting for the rinks would offend any of the surrounding residents. Hartman 11 stated that Mr. Hubmer is working on that issue. Ms. Schober from the audience offered that 12 there used to be lights for the rinks and there was a switch that turned off the lights when the 13 rinks were not in use. At worst case scenario, however, the parks close at 10:00 p.m. and lights 14 would be turned off by that time. Ms. Schober suggested that the Commission visit Curtis Field 15 for ideas. 16 Roadfeldt asked Hartman if it would be a burden for Public Works Staff to assemble and disas- semble the hockey boards each season.

DISCUSS CENTRAL PARK REDEVELOPMENT. 24 Jindra stated that Augie Wong was scheduled to be at the meeting to discuss Central Park rede- 25 velopment; however, he was called out of the country and would not be in attendance. 26 To provide an update, Jindra stated that she had attended a recent City Council meeting and had 27 asked for and received permission to obtain the site survey. Once the survey is completed, the 28 Commission will be able to move forward and discuss specifics of the Park. The survey can be - 29 gin as soon as some of the snow melts. 30 Hartman clarified that once Bob Kost of BRW, obtains the information from the survey, he 31 would be able to plot the overall design of the Park and bring the design to the Commission for 32 review. Jindra stated that the Commission could discuss now some ideas for Central Park. At Water 34 Tower Park, she stated, skateboarders were using the Park inappropriately and causing damage to 35 some areas and creating potential safety hazards in other areas. She felt it appropriate for the
