City of Centerville <br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />January 8, 2014 <br />V. COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Eagle Scout Project – Mr. Robbie Bacon <br /> <br />Subsequent to speaking with a Forester, Mr. Bacon declined the project due to <br />labor intensity associated with the amount of trees and buckthorn that needed <br />removal along with time constrains and the amount of work suggested by the <br />Forester. Mr. Bacon thanked the Committee for their consideration. <br /> <br />2. Basketball Court(s) – LaMotte Park Hockey Rink <br /> <br /> It is anticipated that the cost of the equipment (backboards/hoops, posts, etc.) <br />would be approximately $1,500 each or $3,000 for the pair, installation of the <br />equipment would be an additional cost that is yet to be determined. The <br />Committee desired to complete the installation by the end of the summer, <br />however, funding is limited. <br /> <br /> The Committee desires to install the court across the width of the hockey rink <br />utilizing the exterior of the rink for mounting posts which will house the <br />backboards/hoop(s) similar to City of Lino Lakes’ Inner Park basketball court. <br /> <br /> <br />3.
