City of Centerville Park & Recreation Meeting Minutes November 1, 2023 event. Committee Member Peterson then had a meeting with City Administrator Statz regarding the vision for this event. They determined that it might be best to leave it as a small hometown community event, run with volunteers, rather than focusing on making it a larger, more competitive event which would add additional funds to be expended and perhaps exclude some local participants and the committee members concurred. A company, called Bending Branches, has donated a high- quality paddle for the past five years and hope they will continue to be a sponsor. Committee Member Peterson stated that Ms. Larson had some great ideas when they previously spoke and he will again meet with her to discuss if she would like to be involved with this event in other ways and report back at the next meeting. 2. Trail Closure Signage Î West Side of Centerville Elementary A safety request had been received by City Administrator Statz from the Centennial Elementary Principal Marken, along with CLPD Chief James MorkÓs approval, to place signage closing the trail, at each end (Centerville Road & Lakeland Circle), during school hours to ensure the safety of the students while outside. It has been determined that the trail alongside the school is on school property and is maintained by them. A suggestion was made to have the language on the sign read ÐNo LoiteringÑ rather than ÐTrail Closed During School HoursÑ, thus allowing trail users to use the trail during those hours. Motion by Chair Errickson-Grahek, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to Recommend to Council the CommitteeÓs Support for the Request of the School District but recommend the usage of ÐNo LoiteringÑ rather than ÐTrail Closed During School HoursÑ. All in favor. Motion carried. 3. 2024 SHIP Grant Submission Î Bike Repair Station Motion by Chair Errickson-Grahek, seconded by Committee Member Akpan to Direct Staff to Submit a SHIP Grant Application for funding of a Bike Repair Station to be installed in one of the parks on the north side of city. All in favor. Motion carried. 4. Name a Snowplow Contest Chair Errickson-Grahek and Committee Member Fuchs spoke prior to the November meeting and have the following ideas for consideration: a.
