Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – February 13, 2024 Page 2 <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau noted that if anyone receives communications that make them feel <br />uncomfortable because of their role on the committee, they can tell the person to not contact them <br />and refer them to staff. She is gathering feedback on a code of conduct for committees. <br /> <br />4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson reviewed the memo from Assistant Public Works Director <br />Miller which included new/updated items: <br /> The 2023 CIP for Parks has been provided in the past and is available online. For the <br />2025 Parks Project (Arden Oaks Park & Freeway Park), it is requested that the <br />Committee Members of the PTRC review the parks and provide comments to City Staff <br />so that they can be presented to Council at an upcoming Work Session with <br />recommendations from Public Works maintenance perspective. <br /> <br />B. Arden Oaks and Freeway Park Wish List <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said the memo contains things discussed at the last meeting. The <br />committee can add to it or make changes. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson stated she looked online at a gaga ball pit and it looked like it had <br />a sand base which is what is on the list to take out of Freeway Park. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said it doesn’t have to be on sand. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson added that she’d never seen one on sand, that the ball needs to be able <br />to bounce. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson thought what might be helpful is if they prioritize or narrow down the list to what <br />is really important to them. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson noted one thing missing from the memo was screening to the <br />neighbors’ homes. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson thought the only time the upper part of Freeway Park was used <br />was when there was ice on the rink, and the rest of the year it looks like an eyesore. She’d like to <br />focus on what the park could look like through all of the seasons. <br /> <br />Youth Committee Member Edgar felt it would be nice to block the view of the highway from <br />the lower level of the park. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson thought updating or painting the rink boards would help. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson suggested a hard surface in the ice rink, possibly with a drain, so <br />it could be used in the summer for roller sports. <br /> <br />Committee Member Johnson asked if pickleball was an option. <br />
