CaDitallmDrovement Goals - 5 Year Plan The Public Works Staff asked the Parks & Recreation Committee to consider a permanent site for the skate park as it is very time consuming to install the skate park equipment each spring, move it for Fete des Lacs and then remove it and store it for the winter. Committee Member Peil suggested the idea of a permanent skate park site fall into the 2-year plan of Tracie McBride Memorial Park. When the water tower is removed there will be room for a skate park on that site. It was mentioned that some skate parks are asphalt opposed to concrete, asphalt would be less expensive, but research should be done on asphalt versus concrete. Committee Member Seeley suggested forming a sub-committee to work: on the 2-year Tracie McBride plan. The committee then went through the 2003 Parks & Recreation Budget & Projects List line by line to prepare a rough draft for the 2004 budget. Committee Member LeBlanc and Committee Member Seeley will put this information together for the next scheduled meeting. The committee also discussed grants, what the process is to apply, where to get information, and who would possibly be interested in pursuing the information. Committee Member Seeley would like to form a sub-committee to research this area. VII.

The committee felt the Centerville Lions were no longer interested in renovating the current warming house. The City Council approved replacing the roof on the warming house at the June 25, 2003 City Council meeting not to 30f4
