B. 2012 Goal Setting Chair Scott asked whether the members had any additions or revisions to the goal setting list they had started at the previous meeting. Ms. Olson recapped that she had brought some draft goals to the previous meeting but had asked the committee to bring the goals they wanted for 2012 to the December meeting. She indicated she would be willing to suggest goals but feels it should be up to the committee to decide on what goals they would like to set. Ms. Olson • reviewed the goals that had been completed in 2011 and the goals that could be kept on for 2012. Chair Scott asked whether adding the goal of irrigation at Hazelnut Park would reinforce that project even if it is already in the 2012 Capital Improvement Plan. Discussion ensued on irrigation at Hazelnut Park and the committee decided to add this as one of their projects under Item#3. Ms. Olson asked about the committee's prior discussion on dog parks and a dock on Karth Lake. Committee Member Michaelson suggested the committee identify possible sites and configuration for a dog park and then, if feasible, make a recommendation to Council. The committee was in consensus with adding the dog park as a goal for 2012. Discussion ensued on various projects including installing bike racks at parks and along trails. Ms. Olson asked if any of the members had interest in exploring the idea of a dock at Karth Lake. She indicated she had talked to Public Works Director Maurer after their last meeting and he recommended they send a letter to the Karth Lake District Group to see if they would be onboard with the idea since in the past staff felt they did not really want that to be a public area. Discussion ensued and it was the consensus of the committee to have Ms. Olson check with the Karth Lake Association to see what their thoughts are on a possible dock. Ms. Olson indicated she would send an e-mail to the Association. Chair Scott asked the members to come up with additional goals for 2012 which they would discuss in depth at the January, 2012, meeting. Ms. Olson indicated she would type up a revised version of what they had just discussed.
