Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes April 19, 2022 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Member Beggin said there weren’t joint meetings during COVID, but wondered if <br />they would continue. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Scott said they would most likely continue with joint meetings but the time of <br />year might vary. <br /> <br />B. Spring Lake Park Donation Discussion <br /> <br />Chair Hinton said there was a $10,000.00 donation to the City from the Spring Lake Parks Lions. <br />The City Council would like recommendations and ideas from the PTRC as to how to spend the <br />money. Ideas so far were a swinging bench at Cummings Park, and finishing basketball hoops. <br /> <br />Committee Member Poelzer would like to know what things cost. <br /> <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said if there is am amenity that they need to <br />figure out an estimate on, they call the supplier, ask for a quote and ask if it includes installation. <br /> <br />Committee Member Beggin again asked about the money that was to go toward basketball hoops. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan stated the they were around $2500.00 for one hoop system, with 2 needed <br />for a basketball court. <br /> <br />Committee Member Beggin wondered about the cost for pickleball lines on courts and nets. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton asked if they could add the costs of some things that have been done to the budget <br />information meeting. <br /> <br />Committee Member Nelson would like to see the Chatham trails made more useable, there are <br />areas you can’t walk through during certain times of the year. <br /> <br />Committee Member Poelzer said there is a section of trail near Perry Park that is almost <br />consistently under water. <br /> <br />Committee Member Nelson suggested they brainstorm and put a list together of how they’d like <br />to see the money be spent. Staff can put together the numbers to see how many benches, bridges or <br />trail developments $10,000.00 would buy. <br /> <br />Committee Member Anderson suggested they go through the work plan to look at specific ideas. <br />She noted the swinging bench, sledding hill, and pickleball. <br /> <br />Committee Member Poelzer thought they should add something specifically recreation related <br />like a multi-generational dance, something else for trails like the Chatham trail, and something for <br />parks like the swing or pickleball. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan said he could reshare the wish list document that was created for the <br />Foundation with the committee members. <br />
