City of Centerville's Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 3, 2021 Fund). All in favor. Motion carried. In addition, at this point in time, volunteers have signed up for all the Adopt -a -Garden parks with the exception of Acorn Creek Park and also the City Hall building perimeter. 5. Pollinator Garden — Girl Scouts Ms. Tara Cole and Ms. Katie Peterson, representing 4th and 5th grade members of Girl Scout Jr Troop 457269, appeared before the committee to explain that consideration for a Bronze Award project would be a project the Scouts could complete, but also bean ongoing project that others could enjoy. The troop would pay for and maintain the Pollinator Garden. A location would need to be determined and a liaison volunteer to help with the details. Committee Member Seeley volunteered and also suggested that Hidden Spring Park might be an ideal location for a Pollinator Garden. In addition the park is by the lake. Ms. Seeley will work with Ms. Cole and Ms. Peterson regarding a suitable location and other logistics. It was suggested that the Troop Members appear at the April Committee meeting to make a formal proposal to the members. 6. Restrooms in Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Committee Member Peterson came across a posting regarding the lack of restrooms in the Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park and perhaps this resident was not aware of the existing restrooms. The restrooms are currently open from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and are unlocked and locked remotely via computer. Committee members would like to see them open during park hours for use by the residents. Also visible signage is needed, including gender based signage, if needed or make both unisex. Concerns about freezing were mentioned; possibly replace faucets. Mr. Statz and Mr. Palzer will evaluate usage of the restrooms and will bring some recommendations to an upcoming meeting. Perhaps placing one or more Porta Pottys' in the park during the winter would be a sensible solution.
