<br /> Parks, Trails, and Recreation Committee Meeting <br /> April 18, 2006 Page 4 of8 <br /> . Committee Member Wheeler stated that she is also concerned noting that it seems to be a narrow <br /> focus. She asked if this is an attempt to get community buy-in. Chair Henry clarified that it is an <br /> attempt to gain Council buy-in and reviewed with the Committee. <br /> 7. Review of Warming House Memo <br /> Ms. Olson stated that staffis tentatively scheduled to go before Council at the May 8, 2006 <br /> meeting. She provided the Committee with examples for their review noting that she met with <br /> the City Administrator who had two options to add for consideration: the first option would be to <br /> move an existing warming house from Cummings Park and Valentine Park to Hazelnut Park and <br /> Freeway Park; the second option would be to tear down the buildings and rebuild into a similar <br /> design. She stated that she is in the process of getting estimates for the second option. She <br /> i stated that Staff tried to approach every option at each park noting that the Building Inspector did <br /> go out to the parks and the inspection packet is included for the Committee's review. <br /> Ms. Olson reviewed the costs options with the Committee. She also indicated that Staff has <br /> recommended removing the warming house at Valentine Park, maintain the rink without staffing <br /> and utilize the mobile units for Freeway Park and Hazelnut Park. <br /> MOTION: Committee Member Williams motioned, second by Committee Member <br /> Straumann to recommend and support Staffs recommendations for the warming <br /> . house replacements. Motion carried 7-1 (Nay-McClung). <br /> Committee Member McClung stated that he is not in support of not replacing the warming house <br /> at Valentine Park. He expressed concerns stating that they need to address the flooding and <br /> repair the problem. Ms. Olson stated that Staff has had URS review the area in the past to help <br /> determine how they could fix the flooding problem at the park. She stated the estimate was very <br /> high and this has been the reason the playground has not been replaced in the past few years, <br /> even though it has been scheduled for replacement. The grade and elevation of the park causes <br /> complications to maintaining quality ice and the warming house. <br /> 8. Dog Park, Website, Bocce Ball <br /> Chair HeillY stated that Committee Member Hames provided him with the information on the <br /> dog park options and suggested that the Committee review the information and be prepared to <br /> discuss further at the next PTRC meeting. <br /> Chair HeillY suggested that they include a link on the City website that would provide the <br /> Community with an opportunity to provide Staff and Council with their suggestions and <br /> comments on what to do with the City Parks and Trails. He suggested including a statement in <br /> the City newsletter directing the community to the City website and including an explanation that <br /> . the City website provides the Community with another means of communicating with staff and <br /> Council. <br /> -.-.---- <br />
