<br />1. New/Replacement of Picnic Tables - Various Parks <br />Committee Member Seeley provided an inventory of the picnic tables at various <br />parks. Currently there are four (4) at Hidden Springs, two (2) at Laurie LaMotte, <br />one (1) at Acorn Creek and Eagle Park. There are tables at Tracie McBride, <br />Royal Meadows, Cornerstone or Trailside Parks. There was a suggestion to move <br />two (2) from Hidden Spring to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. This item was <br />tabled to the August meeting and will be added to the Committee’s Project List. <br /> <br /> <br />2. Restore Natural Spring in Hidden Spring Park <br />Discussion was had regarding how to accomplish this restoration. The Committee <br />requested that Mr. Palzer investigate options and costs for this project. This item <br />was tabled to the August meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Playground Ladder Replacement in Acorn Creek Park <br />Mr. Palzer informed the Committee that a playground ladder has become unsafe; <br />he was asked to check into the purchase of a replacement ladder at an <br />approximate cost of $1,825. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee <br />Member Grahek to recommend to Council the purchase of a replacement <br />ladder for Acorn Creek Park due to safety concerns. All in favor. Motion <br />carried. <br /> <br /> <br />4. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Ball Fields – Usability During/After Rain <br />Mr. Lucas Welsch, a senior at Centennial High school and an umpire for the Lino <br />Lakes Little League, brought to the attention of the Committee the condition of <br />the fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park when it rains as they become <br />unusable for the rest of the day. The Committee Members are aware of the <br />condition of the fields when it rains due to lack of drainage. Currently there is no <br />staff available to rake the fields. In addition, it is estimated that it would require <br />at least six (6) semi loads of rock to alleviate the drainage problem. The <br />Committee will add this to their project list and request that staff send a response <br />letter to Mr. Welsch thanking him for bringing it to the Committee’s attention and <br />to inform him that the Committee and/or the City do not have funds available at <br />this time to make any major changes. <br /> <br /> <br />5. Park Facility Permit Application – Anniversary Party <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Waeghe, seconded by Committee <br />Member Bettinger to recommend to the City Council to approve the Park <br />Facility Permit Application submitted by Melissa Jaques for the use of <br />Hidden Spring Park on August 20, 2016 for an Anniversary Party. All in <br />favor. Motion carried. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
