City staff, <br /> including myself, Dan Winkel and Cindy Severtson, subsequently have <br /> rret with Mr, Husnik to discuss his available options. <br /> On July 1, a rreeting was held with Mr. Husnik and the park JTI3Ilager, <br /> Tern Holrrquist. At this rreeting, staff tl'ade several suggestions as to <br /> amenities which could l:e considered as part of a trade-off for the <br /> p::ol closure. These amenities included sand volleyball, expanded <br /> ~ basketball court, swings, slides, BBQ pits, horseshoes, shuffleJ:oard, <br /> picnic area, new tot lot, etc. Staff informed Mr. Husnik that if he <br /> desired to close the p::ol he w:JUld need to develop a proposal for <br /> consideration by the City Council at their July 11 rreeting. <br /> Due to the death of Mr. Husnik's partner, a fonnal proposal was net <br /> presented to City staff. The last proposal, which was discussed over <br /> the phone with Mr. Holrrquist, included the following: <br /> l. Add 2 neM basketball h:xJps. <br /> 2, Rerrove existing tennis court. <br /> 3.

The park JTI3Ilager <br /> ~ has indicated that the pool is not available for individuals under age <br /> 14 , so this concern is not appropriate 0 <br /> tc:~ 7-I(-"j.~ <br />
