Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes December 6, 2006 La Company was added to the agenda by request of Mayor Capra. This is a group that she has contacted about possibly setting up a camp at 1601 LaMotte Drive during Fete des Lacs to help celebrate Centerville and Anoka County's 150th birthday. The City has budgeted an additional $5,000 for expenses related to the sesquicentennial. La Company is a pioneer reenactment group. They would come to Centerville, set up their period settlement on the lake park property, participate in the parade and give demonstrations throughout the weekend. The group charges $350 a day. Mayor Capra talked to the Centerville Lions regarding insurance issues and was told the La Company group could be added to the liability policy the Lions have for Fete des Lacs. The Parks & Recreation Committee were in support of this idea. Mayor Capra will keep the committee informed. Mayor Capra also mentioned City Council has approved Staff sending an invitation to Governor Pawlenty to attend the Park Dedication of 1601 LaMotte Drive during Fete des Lacs, possibly following the parade. VII. UPDATES YMCA Summer Pro2ram(s) No update at this time. Tracie McBride Memorial Park & Acorn Creek Park Renovations No update at this time. Shelter at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Included in the packet was a map of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park previously used when a concession building was being considered. It is useful in this potential project also as it shows where the water and electricity come into the area and where the shelter could be located. A water fountain can be placed in the area, but there would not be sewer so it would have to be designed with a different water type runoff. It would be possible to put electrical into the shelter. Committee Member Merkel will seek more information on prices and gazebo styles, possibly asking a representative from one of the companies that manufacture gazebos to attend the next scheduled meeting. Vice-Chairperson Seeley said she would speak to Mr. John VonDeLinde from Anoka County Parks to see what manufacturer / builder the county uses for its shelters / gazebos. The committee agrees the shelter at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park could be as simple as a concrete slab, four posts and a roof. 1601 LaMotte Drive - Centerville Lake Property Committee Member Amundsen arranged to meet with Ms. Maria Perez, Engineer Technician, Rice Creek Watershed District, on Monday, December 4th at 1601 LaMotte Drive. Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director also met with them on the site. It was an informal meeting to look at the property and discuss the lake shore erosion, possible rain garden locations and any other program options that might be available through the RCWD. Committee Member Amundsen wanted to address the lake shore; it is a two foot drop from the grass (where there is grass) to the water. The waves are just working at the 9 of 10
