Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes September 15, 2015 <br />Page 4 <br />black, outdoor material with white engraving that does not wear or fade and really stands <br />out. This particular style plaque is inexpensive and feels it may be better in a nature type <br />setting. Acting Chair Straumann asked if there is a consensus try to get a newer style <br />plaque. <br />Discussion continued about whether or not there would be enough money for two <br />plaques, depending on which plaque is purchased. Depending which plaque is purchased <br />and if Jan would like the plaque inlaid in a wooden bench, possibly more than one plaque <br />could be purchased and placed at the various entrances to the park. <br />Acting Chair Straumann suggesting doing a walk-through to identify other benches that <br />would need replacement. <br />Acting Chair Straumann asked for a motion to order plaques for Crepeau Park honoring <br />Don Messerly and utilizing his memorial funds. The motion was seconded by Committee <br />Members Michaelson and Van Valkenburg. <br />Staff Liaison Grant discussed the process of inlaying the plaque into the bench. She will <br />talk to Jan Messerly to see what she would like as far as material of the plaque(s) and the <br />location. She reiterated that due to price, if brass, just one plaque could be purchased but <br />if the other style plaque is chosen, two or possibly even three plaques could be purchased. <br />A short discussion ensued about the prairie grasses at Crepeau Park and if Bob Mullen <br />could potentially tackle that job. It was decided the PTRC members would give this <br />matter some thought. <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br />A.Water Tower Viewing Platform <br />Acting Chair Straumann moved to item 4.B. Item 4.A will be discussed later in the <br />meeting. <br />B.Fall Cleanup Day <br />Staff Liaison Grant indicated the PTRC will not be participating in the fall cleanup day <br />this year and suggested the Committee participate on their own or bring their items to the <br />drop-off location. Staff Liaison Grant also said if they have time, Committee Members <br />are welcome to help Mr. Mullen with the gardens on Saturday, October 3 at 9:00 am at <br />Floral Park. <br />C.Rice Creek Commons Parks <br />Acting Chair Straumann outlined the three trails which are designated on the map as T1, <br />T2, and T3. <br />Trail 1 runs beside the road that will be graded next year (spine road).
