City of Centerville <br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />June 6, 2012 <br /> <br />3.Volunteers for Park Monument Signs/Contact Area Schools - <br /> <br /> <br />Currently Royal Meadows and Hidden Spring have many weeds that need to be removed; <br />there has been some clean-up done at Tracie McBride; the remaining parks are in very good <br />shape. The playground at Tracie McBride has sand, not wood chips. Contacting Area <br />Schools for volunteers will be tabled for now. <br /> <br />4.Sand Volleyball Court <br /> <br /> <br />a. Quotes, Specifications, Preparation & Construction <br /> – Committee Member <br />Grahek obtained an additional bid in the amount of $22,000 for the first court and <br />$19,000 for the second court. The first bid would cover getting the equipment <br />onsite, so the bid for a second court should be somewhat lower. The Committee <br />would like to obtain an additional bid. Currently there is $11,000 set aside for the <br />construction of one court, plus the pledge of a $5,000 donation from the Dead Broke <br />Saddle Club. This project may need to be postponed until 2013 depending on the <br />best bid received and total funds available. <br /> <br />b. $5,000 pledge from Dead Broke Saddle Club <br /> – Committee discussed having staff <br />contact them since this donation has not yet been received. However, since there is <br />some re-evaluation being done of charitable gambling, which may impact the actual <br />amount of their donation, the Committee decided to hold off further discussion of <br />this until August or September and keep it an open item on the Action Items List. <br /> <br />5.Special Event Permit Application – Fete des Lacs Skate/Run/Walk <br /> <br /> <br />This event is scheduled for July 28 with set-up beginning on July 27. There was discussion <br />about modifying the skate course due to some areas being too narrow for passing. Chairman <br />Branch sent that information to the Anoka County permit department with the proposed <br />changes. He then explained the differences between various types of events and that many <br />are geared for the professionals, not as much for the amateurs and this event should be <br />focused on fitness and recreation, primarily for the amateur. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Haiden, seconded by Committee Member <br />Grahek to recommend to the City Council to approve the Special Event Application for <br />the Fete des Lacs Skate/Run/Walk on July 28, 2012, with one modification on the <br />application i.e. page 2, #4, last line: add “Kids” after the number 50. All in favor. <br />Chair Branch abstained. Motion carried. <br /> <br />6.Park Facility Permit Application: Hidden Spring Park – August Wedding <br /> <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Grahek, seconded by Committee Member <br />Peterson to recommend to the City Council to approve the Park Facility Permit <br />Application for the wedding in Hidden Spring Park on August 25, 2012. All in favor. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />7.Park Facility PermApplication – Brownie Troop Family Picnic <br /> it <br /> <br />The Brownie Troop requested to use the Hidden Spring Park Picnic Shelter, on July 28, <br />2012, following the parade, for a group picnic.
