• CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br />MEETING MINUTES <br />SEPTEMBER 14, 1998 <br />Members Present: Peter Lindstrom, Greg Schaefer, Donna Daykin, Laura <br />Kuettel, Carol Kriegler <br />Members Absent: Lois Millett, Nancy Wickem <br />Guests: Jim Eckberg <br />REPORTS, REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />D-1. Update on improvements to the Community Park fitness station course. <br />Carol Kriegler reported that the city council approved the purchase of a Game <br />Time / Parcourse fitness station system. The existing system is also a <br />parcourse and the purchase of the updated version provides the best <br />opportunity for continuity with our current system. <br />Delivery of the system is expected in mid to late October with component <br />• installation by the vendor, Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc.. Removals <br />and site preparation will be conducted by the parks /public works staff. <br />The commission reviewed the plan for clustering the equipment as <br />recommended by the manufacturer. Discussion took place concerning <br />possible locations for the 4 clusters. It was agreed that the course would <br />continue to start on the west side of the park with users proceeding to the <br />clusters in a counter clockwise direction. Placement to the clusters will be <br />determined to some extent by the availability of level surroundings. <br />D-2. Update on possible improvements to the east entry at Community <br />entry and southwest corner at Community Park. <br />Carol Kriegler reported that she and Bill Maertz met with landscape architects <br />from the Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban. The walk-through of the park was <br />done to provide the architects with an overview of the park and some of the <br />use issues as they relate specifically with the east entry and the southwest <br />entry of the park. The city council has authorized staff to utilize consultants <br />for the purpose of developing a schematic plan for the improvement of the <br />east entry and southeast corner of the park. Staff will be requesting a <br />• proposal from the firm for these schematic planning services. <br />D.-3 Discussion regarding community participation in landscape projects. <br />
