• <br />MINUTES <br />City of Falcon Heights <br />Parks and Recreation Commission <br />March 9, 1998 - 7:00 PM <br />Present: Carol Kriegler (Parks Director), Laura Kuettel (Council Liaison), Donna Daykin and Greg <br />Schaefer. <br />Absent: Nar+.cy Wickhem, Lois !-Aillett anc Peter Lindstrom. <br />1. Minutes of the December 8, 1997 meeting were approved. <br />2. Agenda Item D.-1 1998 planned capital improvements for the parks. <br />Considerable discussion was held concerning the replacement of the dilapidated fitness stations at <br />Community Park. Few vendors are available with limited selection in the type of construction. In an <br />effort to obtain input from avid users of the equipment, it was decided that they be invited to the next <br />• Commission meeting to be held on April 13, 1998 so they may express their opinions in the selection <br />of replacement equipment. Known frequent users will be invited by telephone and a sign will be <br />posted at the park to notify interested parties of the upcoming meeting. <br />Suggestion were given as to ways to make the northeast entry into Community Park more attractive <br />and inviting. The heavy pedestrian traffic in the small area bordering the parking lot, tennis courts <br />and the playground equipment, limited the potential proposals to offer an appealing, but functional <br />entry way. Replacing and redesigning the walkway surface and the gateway would likely be the top <br />priority in any improvements. Due to the high children usage of the playground area and the nearby <br />parking lot, it was agreed the continued use of fencing would offer the best security to assure the <br />children's safety. Further input on creative landscaping and attractive fencing would be sought prior <br />to any definite proposals being submitted for consideration. <br />Agenda Item D.-2 Update of the 1998 summer recreation program. <br />The summer recreational information, schedule and registration forms are being completely <br />reformatted to be more user friendly. The program, scheduled days of the week and starting time <br />will be easier to identify. In addition, the registration for multiply participants will be less confusing. <br />Submitted by Greg Schaefer <br />• <br />
