City of Centerville <br />Parks and Recreation Committee <br />March 7, 2012 <br />Committee Member Amundsen presented the 12” x 18” Trail Sign printed on vinyl with an <br />adhesive back at a cost of $3. He attached it to the back of a used speed limit sign and is <br />leaving it outside, exposed to the sun, to determine how much it may fade. <br /> <br /> <br />4. Fete des Lac update <br /> <br />th <br />An advertising flyer for the “Yoga in the Park”, scheduled for July 28, was submitted by <br />Ms. Thia Cassanova. Committee requests that staff forward this flyer to Ms. Capra, <br />coordinator of the Fete des Lacs events for inclusion with other publicity for this event. <br /> <br />5. Volunteer Program <br /> <br />Requests for volunteers has been on the reader board sign at City Hall, on the Website and <br />th <br />on Cable TV; and will be included on the April 5 utility bills. <br /> <br />The Girl Scouts were going to evaluate each park to determine how many they could handle <br />and contact Committee Chairperson Branch with their decision. No response has been <br />received to date. Committee requests that Chairperson Branch contact the Girl Scouts to <br />determine if they are still interested in helping with the garden(s); <br /> <br />6. Centennial Hockey Association – Volleyball Court Donation <br /> <br />A donation of $250 was received from the Centennial Youth Hockey Association to be used <br />for the Sand Volleyball Court. In addition, there was notification from the Dead Broke <br />Saddle Club for the approval of $5,000 as a donation for park improvements to be <br />designated for the Sand Volleyball Court. The committee requested that staff prepare a <br />thank you letter to the Dead Broke Saddle Club for their donation and have the committee <br />members sign it. Discussed an appreciation plaque. <br /> <br />Once the location has been determined, bids will be needed for two new volleyball courts at <br />a maximum cost of $15,000. Preferred orientation of courts would be north/south, not east <br />west. Discussed two possible location options: by the scoreboard on the north side or, north <br />of the play structure at Laurie LaMotte Park. Mr. Paul Palzer was requested to research the <br />best location. <br /> <br />7. Review of Family Fun Night Activities (February) <br /> <br />There was a very low turnout (approximately 35 to 40 participants) due to warm weather – <br />skating cancelled; the telescope viewing was very popular thanks to Mr. Wayne LeBlanc for <br />volunteering and sharing his expertise in this area. The Committee felt that a name change <br />from Skating Party to Winter Celebration would be good going forward in case of no ice or <br />inclement weather. <br /> <br />8. Smart Phone application <br /> <br />Vice-Chairperson Grahek will do a presentation for the City and the Committee regarding <br />developing a Smart Phone application showing locations of parks and for City use. <br /> <br /> <br />VII.
