<br />City of Centerville <br />Parks & Recreation Meeting Minutes <br />June 5, 2024 <br />V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />1. Additional Volleyball Courts <br />a. A resident contacted Chairperson Errickson-Grahek to inquire if there is a possibility <br />of adding a second volleyball court in Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. <br />b. Another resident contacted city staff regarding the possibility of building a volleyball <br />court in Acorn Creek Park. <br /> <br />Chairperson Errickson-Grahek reported that she has not yet received a price/bid from the Park <br />Maintenance Department. This item will be tabled to the July P & R Committee Meeting. <br /> <br />2. Flowerpot Tree – Cornerstone Park <br /> <br />The Committee members are researching the purchase and installation of a Flowerpot metal trunk <br />Tree in Cornerstone Park this year with the possibility of more to be added in the future. The first <br />tree would be 7’ tall and hold 12” to 16a. baskets/pots in which annuals would be planted. This <br />type of decorative tree would be substantially less expensive than other prior options. There was <br />discussion about installing irrigation & electricity. In the meantime, irrigation would mean using <br />a pump & wand and electricity would mean solar lights. <br /> <br />Chairperson Errickson-Grahek reported that a price/bid has not yet been received from the welding <br />company. This item will be tabled to the July P & R Committee Meeting. <br /> <br />3. 2024 5/8K Runs and Paddle Board Race <br /> <br />These activities are a part of the Fete des Lacs Event with the runs scheduled for Saturday, July <br />thst <br />20 and the Paddle Board Race is scheduled for Sunday, July 21. <br />a.
