Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes December 6, 2006 made on the original developer's agreement, but these issues will be resolved now. The developer has agreed to additional Park Dedication Fees, though the amount has not yet been determined. The developer has also agreed to include a trail easement on the new plat. The committee discussed a trail in front of the Centerville Office Park on the west side of 20th A venue that could eventually connect to Center Street and the new Pheasant Marsh 3rd Addition Trail. Mr. Tedd Peterson suggested considering a connection between Cottonwood Court and Brian Way that would actually tie into the Sedona Town Home property. The committee will continue to be updated as to the progress of this development Replacin2 Skate Park Equipment At the November 1, 2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting the committee discussed replacing the damaged skate park equipment. Mr. Tedd Peterson, Public Works Staff, attended the meeting to update the committee on the equipment removed. He said the damaged equipment was partly vandalism, but mostly just wear and tear. The pieces removed were Sun Ramp equipment, approximately 5 years old. Originally it looked like good equipment as they were quieter pieces and easier to move, but once the rubberized coating came off there was only a fiberboard underneath. There were three pieces removed, two (2) ~ pipes and a spine. Skate Wave is another brand of equipment at the skate park and it has held up better, but it is metal and louder than the Sun Ramp equipment was. However, it should be repainted this next season. Originally the equipment had to be moved off the concrete of the ice rink multiple times a year, for Fete des Lacs in August, and in the winter when the rink was used for skating. This caused some wear and tear, but now there is a permanent pad, which will cut down on damage. Mr. Peterson would recommend purchasing another ~ pipe and a fun box, possibly from the manufacturer Rhino Ramp which has quality material, heavier and totally enclosed, so people or things cannot get under it. Mr. Peterson volunteered to give the salesman a call for more information and prices. Vice-Chairperson Seeley asked if this was considered maintenance and whether replacing existing equipment should come from Park Maintenance Fees. Mr. Larson will check on the balance in the Park Maintenance Fund and check and see if there is potential for fund balances at end of year. Mr. Peterson said the last equipment ordered and installed was $6,100. It was suggested a request be submitted to Dead Broke Saddle Club for Charitable Gambling Funds. Partnerin2 with St. Genevieve's Parish Center Activities Committee on Sponsorin2 a Horticulture Event in March 2007 (Capra) Mayor Capra made an appearance to discuss the idea of the Parks & Recreation Committee partnering with St. Genevieve's Parish Center Activities Committee on sponsoring a horticulture event in March 2007. Mayor Capra said if the church were to charge fees for the event and the Parks & Recreation Committee participates, the profits would be split between the church and the committee. The committee members said it sounded like an interesting project and while they were willing to participate as individual volunteers, as a committee they do not have the time to take on another project this spring. 7 of 10
