City of Centerville <br />Park and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes <br />October 2, 2024 <br />2. Committee Member Updates – Committee Member Peterson <br /> <br />a. Movie in the Park <br />th <br />This event was held on September 14, showing The Garfield Movie with a good turnout of around <br />80-100 attendees plus lots of volunteers to help. It was warmer this year with no wind, but lots of <br />mosquitoes. Committee Member Peterson was very appreciative of all the volunteer help. <br />from committee members, the Scouts. <br />b. Hidden Spring Park <br />The Rain Garden Planting, was completed with the help of several Scouts, a few adults, with one <br />adult coordinating the plantings, and Committee Members Fuchs and Peterson <br /> <br />3. Council Liaison Updates – Mr. Terry Sweeney <br /> <br /> There are a few parties interested in the Block 7 parcel <br /> Corrections/modifications need to be made to several of the city’s plans, i.e. comprehensive, <br />downtown, etc. <br /> It was stated to the council members the importance on staying informed about the Park & <br />Rec activities and their vision for the park lands. <br /> Mr. Sweeney stated the Lions Club is a great resource for additional funds and/or volunteers <br />needed for projects, activities, etc. <br /> A question was asked about if there was a decision made about the replacement of the hockey <br />rink boards; therehas not been. A determination needs to be made by this committee to replace <br />them with wood or a wood substitute or if the park is revamped perhaps a new rink. The warming <br />house is in severe disrepair and needs to be repaired or rebuilt. <br /> One of the top items listed on the survey of the public for improvements, additions or other <br />changes to the parks was building a new community center. Many people have differing ideas just <br />what a community center should be, therefore a definition should be developed of what Centerville <br />needs and can afford. <br /> <br /> <br />IX.
