Parks Commission Meeting Minutes October 10, 2001 Page 4 I thought that the field would be usable. 2 Commissioner Gebhardt asked when the construction would begin. Hubmer stated that construction 3 could begin as early as next week. 4 Hubmer suggested that, if the rink got seeded this year, they should not put ice over it because it would 5 kill the seed. Hartman stated that the problem has to be corrected at some point because the water has 6 been an issue for too long. 7 Skrivseth asked about free skating in Central Park. Hartman indicated that the only time for free s skating would be on the weekends, when it is difficult to get an attendant. 9 Chair Jindra suggested that the Commission decide if there would not be skating at either Central Park 10 or Silver Point Park this winter. I I Chair Jindra stated that it was suggested that the fields in Central Park have drain tile. She indicated 12 that it had been removed from the initial plans because of expense. 13 Commissioner Jensen asked about the plans for the field. Wong stated that they were originally 14 discussing drain tile for the fields, but the slope was high. Wong demonstrated where the drainage 15 would go. He indicated that the question is how the water will drain when the slope is only one 16 percent. 17 Anderson indicated that the current field is pretty close to flat. 18 Zurbey indicated that he received some information regarding Sports Boosters funding drain tile. He 19 spoke with someone about using fields for St. Anthony athletics, and the conversation led to the 20 discussion of the fields in the City of St. Anthony. The gentleman with whom he spoke was a civil 21 engineer and indicated that the slope on the field was insignificant at one percent, and that drain tiles 22 were necessary. 23 Hubmer indicated that he worked with the gentleman on other projects, and that they are different than 24 the field that they are concerned about. 25 Jensen stated that Wong indicated that he did not know if a contractor could make the field better than 26 one percent. 27 Hubmer suggested that they only put drain tile underneath the trail, if that is something that they want to 28 consider.
