Parks & Recreation Conunittee Meeting Minutes 04 -06 -11 significantly more plantings than was expected. The plantings were left in the plan, but the irrigation was not. This is an on -going problem with all the other parks in Centerville, particularly Hidden Spring Park. The committee had budgeted and requested funding for irrigation at Hidden Spring Park, but the plan was not approved by council. The committee feels it makes no sense to install more plantings without irrigation. Chairperson Branch requested Mr. Palzer research the most cost effective way to get irrigation to the plantings in Cornerstone Park. Committee Member Seeley expressed concern over taking mature trees down along Mill Road for the trail project, but Mr. Palzer stated that has already been determined by the plan. Mr. Dallas Larson & Mr. Paul Palzer. Concessions at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Mr. Dallas Larson and Mr. Paul Palzer updated the committee on the progress of attempting to sell concessions at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park during the Centennial Little League season. Mr. Mike Jeziorski provided the committee with the attached memo. Mr. Larson reported it will not be economically feasible to renovate the warming house for this purpose, but another option would possibly be to sell concessions from the Centerville Lion's concession trailer. The Anoka County Health Department typically issues permits to this type of trailer on a temporary basis only, but feels there is potential for the City to be licensed for this particular purpose for the summer. The Centerville Lions need to meet to discuss this item, but the general consensus at this time is favorable. The Lions would receive 25% of the profits in exchange for the use of the trailer. The City would provide the Lions with proof of insurance and potentially connect the trailer to the warming house electric and plumbing. The committee questioned whether the warming house would then be able to be used for storage of product and whether a refrigerator would still be required. Part of the business plan would be to purchase product from a Coke Distributor who would then supply the cooler at no charge. Committee Member Grahek suggested contacting a Pepsi Distributor also to compare prices. Committee Member Amundsen suggested having a big bin or fenced area like other non - profit organizations do for recycled cans as a potential fund raiser. Motion was made by Chairperson Branch, seconded by Vice - Chairperson Grahek, to recommend to City Council that City Staff proceed with the business plan being formulated to work with the Centerville Lions to use their concession trailer to sell concessions at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the 2011 Centennial Little League season. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. IV.
