Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 03-02-11 the local Press Publication (Citizen) for .06 per insert. Ms. Stephan also reminded the committee that if they want to insert a flyer into the next utility bill it will need to be provided to staff the week prior to April 15, 2011. Chairperson branch has contacted Wargo Nature Center’s graphic department regarding the idea of working together on a flyer. Festival of the Lakes 8K Run Chairperson Branch reports the 8K website is up and running and requested the committee look at the site and give him your critical feedback. He will make whatever corrections are needed and then send the link out to the public. The website is www.centervillemn8k.com. Chairperson Branch was able to find and secure a much more economical way to time the 8K and the in- line. Vacation Sports, who has timed the last two races, would charge $1,000 for timing. Chairperson Branch secured Running Ventures, instead with the representative Ms. Barb Leininger reporting, ‘I still do it the "old fashioned" way - with the bib and spindle routine. I am still able to produce printed results on the spot for races under 300 finishers. I charge $1.50 per registered runner, $2.00 for race day entries. That means for your event if you have 200 people who sign up in advance it would cost $300. Right now I am available on July 30, 2011. I do charge $50 for a large finish clock if you want to add that on.’ Ms. Leininger measured the course for the 8K the first year. Native American Artifacts and Historic Sites in Centerville The committee requested staff provide information as to what can or cannot be done with property designated as a historic site. Mr. Dallas Larson, City Administrator supplied the committee with Minnesota laws on burial sites, adding ‘it appears that the law protects these sites if they have been authenticated, and I believe the one on Leibel's property has. The site does spill over the property line to the south so it would occupy part of the lot owned by Myrna Rehbein. Most of it does appear to be on Leibel's land.’ Committee Member Haiden would specifically like the City Attorney’s opinion; if someone were to purchase this piece of property could they build between the road and the mound obstructing the view of the mound? If they cannot and the mound is already protected, what would be the purpose of the City buying the property? Committee Member Seeley said she is continuing to work with the Minnesota Science Museum on research for this project and will report back to the committee. VII. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Committee Member Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Amundsen, to adjourn the March 2, 2011 Parks & Recreation Committee meeting at 9:15 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Transcribed by Kim Stephan 6 of 6
