TO: Parks & Recreation Committee ~ FROM: Kim Stephan SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Committee Updates DATE: January 2, 2003 Information to the City Clerk, Teresa Bender: Dead Broke Saddle Club and the Spring Lake Park Lions have not responded to the Parks & Recreation Committee's request for charitable gambling funds. The representative from Dead Broke Saddle Club, Mr. Mark Larson, reported to the City Administrator, Ms. Moore-Sykes that a decision was made at their last meeting and that information would be forwarded in a letter. There has not been a letter received at this time. Ms. Stephan will contact Mr. Larson again. Council Member Broussard-Vickers would like this issue put on the January City Council Agenda for discussion as there have been numerous complaints about Dead Broke Saddle Club not responding to phone calls or written requests. InformaLion passed on to the City Administrator, Kim Moore-Sykes: Committee Member Lee talked to Tom Peterson, City Engineer and a representative at Rice Creek Watershed concerning the Acorn Creek Trail repair and was told by both that the water problem with the trail is resolved. Neither Mr. Peterson, nor the Rice Creek Watershed could say specifically what was done to resolve the issue. Committee Member Lee suspects the trail will wash out again, although the skimmer is working perfectly, it is washing out around the culvert. Committee Member Lee talked to Monica Travis who said the developer will no longer be responsible for this trail if the City Engineer says the trail issue is resolved. Committee Member Peterson reports that both slabs of the sidewalk are still cracked and City Administrator Moore-Sykes needs to send a letter to the Developer, Dick Travis. Ms. Stephan will pass this information on to Ms. Moore-Sykes. Request for Mr. Palzer from the December Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting, directed to City Administrator, Kim Moore-Sykes. Council Member Broussard- Vickers suggested having Mr. Palzer develop a park maintenance priority schedule based on his budget. This would give Public Works and Parks & Recreation a list of every thing that needs repair and/or maintenance and a way to help prioritize what needs repair. These items would be funded out of the maintenance area of the budget. Council member Broussard-Vickers requested Mr. Palzer look at this project through the first quarter of2003, documenting what he sees as priority. The attached motions on the Fee Schedule for 2003 will be on the January 22,2003 City Council Agenda.
