Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 21, 2020 Page 2 Committee Member Beggin explained they want to see where the benches are along the trails so if they are planning or asking for donations they have an accurate picture of where they could go. They also need to know how much is in the account for Chuck Michaelson. Chair Straumann said there may also be money set aside for Don Messerly who was very involved with Crepeau Park. Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom noted staff is taking an inventory of all of the park assets that includes benches, play structures etc. There will likely be an updated map available at the next meeting. Committee Member Poelzer discussed a bench that isn’t on the map and a swing that is showing on the map as a bench. C. Playground Replacement (Capital Improvement Program Planning) Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained that each year the City prepares an update to the Capital Improvement Program, which is a list of projects over a certain dollar threshold that the City intends to deliver. Projects reviewed by staff and Council and costs are estimated. The 2021 Capital Improvement Program is being reviewed now and staff is looking at projects for up to ten years. A fiscally restrained CIP allows for projects and funding to become more predictable. They have a preliminary list that the Council will be considering. Total expense of all projects is over $3 million. The items on the list are listed in table below: 2021 Arden Manor Play Structure improvements, drainage, concrete and shelter issues, and Hazelnut warming House or portable warming house rental 2022 Floral Park court reconstruction 2023 Perry and Cummings Park roof replacements 2024 N/A 2025 Freeway basketball court resurfacing and Arden Oaks Play Structure 2026 Park Shelter roof replacements at Cummings, Floral, Hazelnut, Royal, Ingerson and Arden Manor 2027 Freeway and Ingerson playground structure replacements and Hazelnut and Perry parking lot resurfacing 2028 Arden Oaks basketball court and Floral and Sampson playground structure 2029 N/A 2030 Royal Hills playground structure D. Community Outreach Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said they will be looking at the next round of Community Development Block Grants for Arden Manor. It’s likely it will be in 2021 or 2022 so there isn’t an immediate need for community outreach. Committee Member Beggin felt that it is important to contact the people in the neighborhoods that use the parks to assist in planning.
