Teresa Bender From: Pat Branch Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2013 6:04 AM To: Teresa Bender, John Grahek; Kevin Amundsen; Kevin Waeghe; Mark Haiden; Suzanne Seeley, Brian Peterson; Christopher Bettinger Cc: Paul Palzer; Steve King Subject: Future Projects Teresa, Please include this note in the prep packages for the June meeting Committee Members, This note fulfills an action item from our May meeting. At the June meeting we will discuss and prioritize park improvement projects to be funded by the proceeds from Festival of the Lakes events and private donations. The funds are to be held in a designated reserve account. Do not reply to this note. Think about which projects would most enhance Centerville Parks and have the greatest positive impact on the community. Come to the June meeting ready to prioritize these projects. These are all items we have discussed in earlier meetings. New ideas are always welcome. The suggested projects include three (3) parks that would benefit from irrigation, three(3) park benches and a basketball court. As a starting point for discussion, my suggested priority is: 1) Irrigation of Cornerstone park. Cornerstone is in full sun. There is a large investment in landscaping which should be protected. This is still a new park where the landscaping is installed but is still getting established 2) and 3) Park benches in trailside park. These benches would face the lake and provide a resting place for residents and trail users to stop and enjoy the lake. They would also facilitate the Thursday evening Waterski Shows. I have ranked them high because they will be at a lower cost and may be achievable within the next year. 4) Irrigation of Hidden Spring Park. This park has the largest investment in landscaping. It has been on our wish list the longest 5) Park bench at the tennis court in Eagle park 6) Basketball court on the hockey ring in LaMotte Park. The reason I have rank this item at a low priority is that this is a new suggestion first discussed at the May 2013 meeting and our plans are not yet well thought out. As the plan matures, this item is likely to be elevated in priority 7) Irrigation in Acorn park. As Acorn park becomes more in demand for team sports there will be an increasing need for irrigation. Without irrigation by mid - summer the playing fields become rock hard. Again - this is to serve as a starting point for discussion. New ideas are always welcome. See you June 5th. Pat Branch i
