<br />Charles Reinhardt has joined the committee. After these changes, the committee will <br />have the prescribed seven members. There is a full committee; seeking additional <br />volunteers is not necessary. <br />5. Estimates for installation of a basketball court on the LaMotte Park hockey rink: <br />Mr. Paul Palzer, Director Public Works, provided his estimate on the cost of installation <br />of the basketball standards on the hockey rink as $800 to $1500. The estimate for <br />equipment is $3,000 for a total estimate of $3800 to $4500. A review of the budget <br />show that there is adequate funds to proceed with the purchase of the basketball <br />Recommend the city proceed with adding a basketball <br />equipment and installation. <br />court to LaMotte Park. <br /> Estimates for installation of water fountains in LaMotte and Acorn parks: <br />6.Mr <br />Palzer also provide estimates for installing water fountains in LaMotte park at $10,000 <br />and Acorn park at $9500. The committee members were shocked at the high cost for <br />what we expected to be a rather simple installation. These estimates are beyond the <br />committee’s fund raising capability. The committee had also asked for an estimate for <br />adding electrical drops in the pavilion in LaMotte park. However, that estimate was not <br />yet available. <br /> New event idea: <br />7. Committee Chairperson Branch suggested adding a snowman making <br />contest to the winter activities. No decision was made. The committee will not be able <br />to make a decision until they see what the snow conditions will be this coming winter. <br />Perhaps if there is adequate snow this event could be added to one of the traditional ice <br />skating parties. <br /> Swan Center Skating Party: <br />8.Each year in September, Centerville is entitled to one free <br />hour of ice time at the Swan Center in Blaine. The years when the committee has <br />organized an event to take advantage of this opportunity have been very poorly attended. <br />In 2013, the City granted that privilege to the Centerville Elementary School PTO. <br />There has been no follow up by the PTO to use the time this year. Committee member <br />Peterson thought that the two cub Scout Troops in this area may make better use of the <br />time. Committee Member Peterson has an action item to work with the Cub Scouts. <br /> YMCA Cooperation: <br />9. Ms April Stewart, Heathy Youth Program Director, Lino Lakes <br />YMCA, send an e-mail note to Committee Chairperson Branch. She is looking for areas <br />of mutual cooperation on park programs. <br />10. Budget Status: <br />The discussion on the budget was deferred to the October meeting. <br />VI.
