Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes November 15, 2022 <br />Page 4 <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br />Committee Member Beggin said winter programming was discussed by the Council and he would <br />like an update. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated the strategy was to hold programs that <br />have a built-in instructor, such as dance, tai chi and yoga. The programs that needed seasonal <br />workers to staff were dropped temporarily as there is currently no-one to manage the staff. <br />However, four seasonal employees were hired to work at the ice rinks on weekends, and there will <br />be a floating seasonal for the weekdays at all rinks. <br />Discussion reverted back to the work plan and which trails and other items to take off of the <br />recommended list due to being in progress or completed. <br />A. Park Stewardship <br />A motion to table to the next meeting was made by Committee Member Kellier and seconded by <br />Chair Hinton. Motion passed unanimously. <br />B. Park Restroom Locks <br />Committee Member Poelzer said currently Perry and Cummings parks' indoor restrooms aren't <br />open unless the facilities/ball field are rented or when the city holds an event. <br />A motion to request a cost feasibility study to install automatic timer open/locks at Perry and <br />Cummings Parks restroom facilities, and add to the 2024 budget if not capable to install <br />sooner was made by Committee Member Poelzer. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said this would lead to a constant <br />maintenance need. They would need to determine to cost of maintenance and staff time. <br />Committee Member Beggin requested to amend the motion to include cost of staff time, supplies <br />and installation of the locks. <br />The motion as amended was seconded by Committee Member Seemann. Motion passed 7-1 <br />with Committee Member Kelliher opposed. <br />C. Review Status of Past PTRC Goals <br />Chair Hinton stated she would remove this item from the agenda as they will be reviewing goals <br />with the City Council in December. <br />D.
