Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes April 18, 2023 Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher felt that might be up to the grantor. <br /> <br />Committee Member Seemann thought the grant prefers one to one matching. <br /> <br />A vote was taken. The motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />B. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson stated the only new update was that pavement rating for trails is <br />planned for 2024, which is the first technical step to planning existing rail restorations. <br /> <br />Committee Member Rogers noted that some neighbors of the Safe Routes to School project are a <br />little nervous of potentially getting blocked in and wants to be sure everyone knows about the <br />plans. <br /> <br />Committee Member Poelzer wanted to know if PTRC could still make recommendations for tree <br />planting locations. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he would find out. <br /> <br /> 4. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. 2023-24 PTRC Goals <br /> <br />Chair Hinton asked if there was anything else they would like to add to the goals. Current goal <br />categories are Trails, Parks, Habitat Restoration, Community Rec & Events, and Volunteer <br />Opportunities. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher felt the goals don’t always have actionable language. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton explained this was more to let the Council know their priorities, not so much as to <br />give marching orders to the PTRC. She requested everyone email her with any changes they may <br />have. <br /> <br />B. Dog Agility Exercise Equipment <br /> <br />Committee Member Poelzer said a group from facilities management at Boston Scientific is <br />interested in volunteering to build dog agility exercise equipment for the Perry Park Dog Park and <br />Boston Scientific would donate $5,000 toward the equipment. The City Council needs to approve <br />acceptance of the donation. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Committee Member Poelzer and seconded by Committee Member <br />Nelson that PTRC recommends the City Council accept a $5,000 donation and volunteer <br />work from Boston Scientific for the purpose of building dog agility equipment at Perry Park. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson asked about upkeep and maintenance and if the City would need to <br />provide repairs. <br />
