City of Centerville <br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />November 6, 2013 <br />1. Disposition of Lions Donation & proceeds of Festival of Lakes Run (Park Bench <br />Update – Chairperson Branch) <br /> <br />There was discussion of how best to use the proceeds of the Festival of Lakes 5K/8K <br />runs, $2,541.26 and a $500 donation received from the Centerville Lions. The <br />Committee has previously discussed the purchase of several park benches and subsequent <br />to research it has been determined that the best option would be benches constructed from <br />recycled plastic. Five would be purchased from Minncor, and installed by the Public <br />Works Department along the park trail at Trailside Park (2), with one (1) each adjacent to <br />the tennis court, volleyball court and the playground equipment at LaMotte Park. The <br />estimated cost is $500 per bench with an additional $200 per bench for installation. It <br />was anticipated that if they were purchased soon, they would arrive in the spring of 2014. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Branch, seconded by Committee Member <br />Amundsen to recommend to the City Council to authorize the expenditure of <br />$3,041.26 for the purchase of five (5) park benches with locations of installation to <br />be determined. All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br /> <br />1.Basketball Courts – LaMotte Park <br /> <br />The Committee has been discussing options for installing a basketball court on the <br />hockey rink for off season usage and has been looking at the possibility of placing the <br />pole outside the boards and cantilevering the hoop over the boards. Mr. Palzer has <br />suggested an alternative solution of mounting the basketball goal post in a jersey-wall <br />like base. The base would weigh approximately 1,500 pounds and would be removable <br />with a bobcat. With Mr. Palzer’s suggestion, additional research will continue; however, <br />with the new suggestion it is felt that the installation would be more economically <br />feasible. <br /> <br /> <br />2.Update of Volleyball Game Challenge – Committee Member Peterson <br /> <br />The “Grand Opening” of the new volleyball court commenced with a challenge game <br />between the Parks and Recreation Committee, City Council and City Staff on Saturday, <br />July 14 at 6:00 p.m. It was held just prior to the Movie in the Park event. <br /> <br /> <br />3.Update of Movie in the Park – Committee Member Peterson <br /> <br />Committee Members felt that the September event was well received. <br /> <br />The Committee has been working with the Centennial Fire Department to host a movie. <br />The event is tentatively scheduled for Dec 7, 2013 to be held in the fire station and is free <br />to the public. A meeting has been set up this coming Friday to work out the details. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Committee Member Branch, seconded by Committee <br />Member Amundsen to recommend to the City Council to expend $327 for an <br />additional movie prior to the end of the year. All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />
