Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 05-04-11 Recreation which should better serve the committee’s purposes. Special Use Permit for Cub Scout Rocket Launch The Cub Scouts had applied for a Special Use Permit for a Rocket Launch at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. They have done this the last 3-4 years. It went to City Council at their April 27, 2011 meeting, th but was tabled because the day being suggested was June 11, the same day Clean-up/Recycling Days will be at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The Council suggested Staff and Parks & Recreation review this and discuss alternate dates and locations with the Cub Scout Coordinator of the event. The committee was concerned that the play ground equipment was in the possible landing zone. That was an issue for June 11th date as there may be more children in the area. Chairperson Branch stated all Special Use Permits involving the parks should come through the Parks & Recreation Committee. Motion was made by Chairperson Branch, seconded by Committee Member Amundsen to recommend to City Council that the Boy Scouts use their alternate date of June 18, 2011 and move their location away from the play structure.All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. VI. UPDATES Bald Eagle Water Ski Shows Both of the recommendations the committee made regarding Bald Eagle Water Ski Shows being allowed to park their 10 x 12’ trailer and install a dock in Centerville Lake from Trailside Park during their 2011 ski show season were approved by City Council at the April 13, 2011 City Council meeting. Ms. Lobin was notified that Bald Eagle Water Ski Shows had the approval to proceed. Music in the Park Suggested changes by Chairperson Branch, Committee Member Grahek and City Administrator Larson were made and contracts were mailed to each group. Chairperson Branch created a Music/Movies in the Park poster which was sent to all committee members and included in this packet for review. The committee has approval on the logos from all of the artists. Tom Lee does not have a logo and is not sure which of his many musical options will be featured, but he approved using this poster without a logo for him. The committee needs to decide how to best use this as an advertising tool. Signage for Trails (Seeley) Committee Member Seeley said she has not received any further information from the County on their trail signage, but has been picking up brochures and gathering information from other cities as to what they do to advertise trails and parks.
