<br />City of Centerville <br />Parks & Recreation Meeting Minutes <br />June 5, 2024 <br />serious safety concerns and did not want the public using their dock, citing liability and insurance <br />concerns and plan to again block access to their dock. They practice on Mondays and Tuesdays <br />from 6 pm to 9 pm and occasional Saturdays for two to three hours, with the shows being held on <br />Thursday evenings. Some of these concerns include: if the Kiosk is located at Lakeside Park, close <br />to their dock, they would want access to the Kiosk closed during their shows and practices, due to <br />the possibility of renters of the kayaks and/or the members of the ski club could be in danger from <br />collision or other unanticipated situations. In lieu of their concerns, it might be best not to locate <br />this activity at Trailside Park. <br /> <br />There was discussion regarding purchasing a dock for use with the Kayak rentals and possibly <br />locating it at Hidden Springs Park or another acceptable location. It was then determined to rescind <br />the motion made at the May 1, 2024 committee meeting regarding recommending to Council to <br />accept the price and location of the Kiosk with a 5 year contract. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Errickson-Grahek, seconded by Committee Member Fuchs to <br />RESCIND the motion made at the May 1, 2024 committee meeting regarding recommending <br />to Council to accept the price and location of the Kayak Kiosk due to price having increased <br />and finding an alternation location. All in favor. Motion carried. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />VI. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />1. Playground Maintenance <br /> <br />Chairperson Errickson-Grahek, along with PW Director Palzer and another individual, did a tour <br />of playground equipment in the parks to observe the repairs and maintenance needed. Most of the <br />existing equipment is in good shape with some needing repairs and others needing replacement <br />parts. Repainting equipment is also an option <br /> <br />a. Additional New Inclusive Playground Equipment <br /> <br />This committee would like to see the playground area enlarged and updated at Laurie LaMotte <br />Memorial Park. Additional space will be needed for the sizes of the fall areas/safety zones and <br />adding pathways between the equipment. Funding may be from the Park Dedication Fund. <br /> <br />GameTime, Inc. provided the committee members with photos of several options of inclusive <br />equipment to review. Discussion ensued with the following items being listed as being most <br />desirable: Merry Musical, Rock a Bout, Roller Table, Sand Table, See Saw, Sensory Ring, Sensory <br />Wave (3 different designs), Whirl Wheel (3 different designs). Also, a Wheelchair Swing. <br /> <br />Chairperson Errickson-Grahek suggested that a committee member volunteer to take this list to <br />the Public Works Department to obtain their opinion of how much space would be needed to add <br />up to all five items that will eventually be selected. In addition, there will need to be estimates <br />provided for the time and materials used to enlarge and install the equipment and safety areas. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />
