Minutes of April 27, 1999, meeting were approved. <br />3. Arden Oaks Play Structure. <br />The purpose of this meeting was to obtain neighborhood response to three contractors' proposals. <br />Mr. Moore presented the proposals to the Committee (the neighborhood had been invited to arrive <br />at 7:00 p.m.) He and the Committee discussed budget issues, including paying the contractor to <br />install the structure rather than as, in the past, having this done by City Staff. Mr. Moore <br />described the existing park and structures, noting that the swings are in good condition and do not <br />need replacing. At 7:15, as no residents had arrived, the Committee discussed the number of <br />homes in the neighborhood and what the neighbors might want for the park. They also discussed <br />scheduling a new time to meet with the residents and whether this was a necessary or desirable <br />option. At 7:30, two residents arrived and noted some difficulty locating city hall. They discussed <br />the structure options with the Committee and agreed on Miracle #2 proposal. The Committee <br />formally moved and approved this recommendation. A motion was also approved to increase the <br />budget to include contractor installation. <br />Agenda for May 25, 1999. <br />Bethel Park (information from the College); Arden Manor (questions about drainage into the pond <br />from the Arsenal property). <br />County Road F Trail Update. <br />Mr. Moore described Council's decision to reject the Committee's recommendation to proceed due <br />to concerns about the flrture of the road and requirements to return grant funds to the state if the <br />trail were removed. <br />Adjourn. <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:04 p.m. <br />0 <br />
