City of Centerville Parks & Recreation Committee August 1, 2012 There is a bid for $16,000 from a specialty contractor. Committee Member Haiden had not acquired additional bids at the time of this meeting. There was discussion about researching the cost and timeframe for an experienced, independent contractor to do this project, following the bid criteria. A union contractor is not required, but insurance compliance is. Committee Member Haiden is willing to research this option further. 2. Status of Open Committee Seat There are two (2) individuals interested in the open committee seat. Currently the City Council interviews and makes the appointment(s) with no input from the Committee. The Committee Members would like all candidates to attend a P & R meeting for them to observe and also allow the Committee to interview the candidate(s) prior to making a recommendation to the Council.

City Council Goals and Objectives — 2012 (Proposed Addendum for Parks & Recreation) This was discussed at the July meeting but tabled until Chairperson Branch was present.
