He reviewed the <br /> following items: <br /> . He encouraged Committee Members to visit Perry Park. A lot more work has been done <br /> including drainage and berm work. The blacktop has to be redone. He asked that the <br /> Committee Members look at the hill behind the existing play structure. The park shelter <br /> will be placed in that location. <br /> . He indicated a trail connection from lower Swamp Lake Road to the park shelter could be <br /> constructed in-house. <br /> . Staff will also be putting in a water fountain at Perry Park from a water stub that was <br /> previously installed. <br /> 5. CUMMINGS PARK FACILITY UPDATE <br /> . Mr. Moore provided the Committee with an update on the progress for the Cummings Park <br /> facility. He reviewed the following issues with the Committee: <br /> . Staff obtained a bid from movers to move the cxisting Cummings Park warming house. <br /> The bid was in the amount of $4,500. The warming house could be moved to Freeway <br /> Park or Valentine Park. At Valentine Park the warming house would be placed right next <br /> to the blacktop of the basketball court. <br /> Committee Member Henry stated he does not believe the City can take the play structure down at <br /> Valentine Park without a plan to replace the existing structure. <br /> Mr. Moore advised staff could time the removal so the play structure is only down during tile <br /> winter months. If the structure is taken down November 1,2004, the PTRC could go to the <br /> Council with a recommendation in August to replace it in spring, 2005. <br /> . He encouraged Committee Members to visit Cummings Park. The building is up and is <br /> beautiful. The cost is well over $350,000. Staff believes that with the trails the cost will <br /> be over $500,000. He asked Committee Members to contact him with any comments or <br /> concerns after visiting the park. <br /> . The Wyncrest area expressed concern regarding hockey boards at Cummings Park. The <br /> . staging area is very torn up and staff does not believe hockey boards will go up this year. <br />
