City of Centerville <br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />August 1, 2012 <br /> <br />There is a bid for $16,000 from a specialty contractor. Committee Member Haiden had not <br />acquired additional bids at the time of this meeting. There was discussion about researching <br />the cost and timeframe for an experienced, independent contractor to do this project, <br />following the bid criteria. A union contractor is not required, but insurance compliance is. <br />Committee Member Haiden is willing to research this option further. <br /> <br />2.Status of Open Committee Seat <br /> <br /> <br />There are two (2) individuals interested in the open committee seat. Currently the City <br />Council interviews and makes the appointment(s) with no input from the Committee. <br /> <br />The Committee Members would like all candidates to attend a P & R meeting for them to <br />observe and also allow the Committee to interview the candidate(s) prior to making a <br />recommendation to the Council. They also discussed the option of having an alternate <br />member or increasing the number of committee members from seven (7), as stated in the <br />City Code, to nine (9) members. <br /> <br />3.City Council Goals and Objectives – 2012 <br /> <br /> (Proposed Addendum for Parks & Recreation) <br /> <br />This was discussed at the July meeting but tabled until Chairperson Branch was present. <br />Committee Member Grahek explained that the Committee was supportive of the first three <br />goals with a change of wording to B-3, but had some reservations about the fourth goal, i.e. <br />the historical aspect becoming the responsibility of the P & R Committee with the exception <br />of D-3. After further discussion the following motions were made: <br /> <br /> Motion was made by Chairperson Branch, seconded by Committee Member Grahek to <br />delete the current wording of objective B-3 and replace it with the following <br />wording: “Seek future parklands development opportunities”; also to <br />add the <br />following wording for the fourth goal “Support the City’s efforts to develop, (existing <br />wording)” and to delete objective D-1 in its entirety. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />,Branch <br /> Motion was made by Committee Member Haiden seconded by Chairperson <br />to add B-8 “Seek an opportunity to add a park bench by the tennis court in <br />Eagle Park”. <br />All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> Chairperson Branch would like to make a presentation to the City Council of this proposed <br />addendum. <br /> <br />4.Schwan Skate Night: September 29, 2012; 5:30pm <br /> <br /> <br />By an agreement that was made when the Schwan Center was established, Centerville is <br />granted a free one hour skating session each September.
