PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES <br /> November 17, 2009 <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br /> D. Bocce Golf Course <br /> Ms. Olson stated the Bocce Golf course near Linde's was altered with the new rain gardens in <br /> that area. The Council questioned if the bocce golf course should be put back or if it should be <br /> removed. <br /> Mr. Baumann stated the new rain gardens would create concerns for six of the holes and that the <br /> clay under the topsoil made the drainage in this area very difficult. He indicated the soil <br /> conditions made for poor playing at times and questioned if there was another location for the <br /> course. <br /> Chair Peck questioned the expense involved with reorganizing the bocce golf course. <br /> Mr. Baumann stated it would be mostly his time and that there would be a minimal expense for <br /> the holes. He recommended that the bocce golf course be moved to a new site within the City. <br /> Further discussion ensued regarding the use and maintenance of the bocce golf course. <br /> Mr. Baumann and Mr. Straumann stated they would look into a new location for the bocce golf <br /> course. <br /> Ms. Olson suggested this be further discussed at the December meeting. <br /> MOTION: Committee Member Straumann motioned to recommend the Council not restore <br /> the bocce golf course at Lindey's Park and that Mr. Baumann and Mr. Straumann <br /> recommend an alternative location to be reviewed by the Committee at the next <br /> meeting, seconded by Committee Member Garretson. The motion carried <br /> (Baumann abstained). <br /> E.
