<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes December 6, 2006 <br /> <br />III. APPEARANCES <br /> <br />Mr. Trevor Weie:el. Eae:le Scout Proiect <br /> <br />Mr. Trevor Weigel, Troop 232, made an appearance to discuss possible Eagle Scout Projects. Mr. <br />Weigel didn't have a specific idea, but questioned if the committee had any upcoming projects such as <br />smaller remodeling or landscaping jobs that could be incorporated into an Eagle Project. Mr. Weigel <br />said it would probably involve about 10 troop members and adult volunteers. Committee Member <br />Amundsen stated that the lake park project would involve a considerable amount of landscaping and <br />lake shore restoration projects, but there isn't a clearly defined plan at this time. According to Eagle <br />Project guidelines Mr. Weigel would be the project manager; researching costs, designing and <br />presenting a plan to the District Board who will let him know if it is an acceptable plan or not. City <br />Administrator Larson stated that the City of Crystal has some used bridge beams for sale which would <br />be ideal for a bridge crossing a creek. If a trail is installed behind City Hall this could be a project to <br />consider, possibly fmding an engineer who would design the footings. This was suggested as a <br />possible project for Mr. Weigel. Mr. Weigel will do some research and come back to the committee <br />with ideas. <br /> <br />IV.

COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> <br />Letter of Interest / Chane:e in Procedure for ADDointment to Committee/Commission <br /> <br />Ms. Lori Harris made an appearance as a potential Parks & Recreation Committee Member. Mr. <br />Dallas Larson, City Administrator and Mayor Capra updated the committee on the procedural change <br />for appointment to the Parks & Recreation Committee and/or the Planning & Zoning Commission. In <br />the past, the procedure has been that an interested party submits a letter to the committee/commission, <br />and meets with the committee/commission by attending a regularly scheduled meeting. The <br />committee/commission then makes a recommendation to City Council. At the last scheduled City <br />Council Meeting, the Council decided that City Code wasn't being followed and the City Council <br />needed to interview candidates. Council also felt they were doing an injustice to the <br />committee/commission members by not meeting each prospective appointee prior to appointment. City <br />Code also specifies City Council needs to verify each committee/commission member is interested in <br /> <br />2 of 10 <br />
