Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 07-07-04 v. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES Chairperson Peterson requested the last line on page 2 under Satellites in the Parks be removed as it was not the committee's intention to continue reviewing the placement of the satellites in the Parks. The satellites will remain where they are currently placed for the season. Committee Member Seeley requested the last sentence under Grant Updates on Page 4 be changed to read the target date for the DNR Grant Committee to notify the applicants was by the end of July, 2004, not July 1st as stated. Motion was made by Committee Member Ziegler, seconded by Chairperson Peterson to approve the June 2, 2004 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes with the above corrections. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. VI. COMMITTEE BUSINESS City of Centerville Code of Ethics The committee discussed the purpose of the document and if this information would be released to the public. Council Member Lee explained his understanding of this policy was just to remove any appearance of conflict; such as a developer of CenterviIle property for example, being on the Planning & Zoning Commission and making decisions where there is potential financial gain for the commission member. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc said this was standard with the state and larger corporations and felt it was reasonable for the city to implement also. Park & Trail Desi2n & Plannin!! Services (SRF) Committee Member Lindsay received a packet of information from SRF which was presented to the committee. The idea would be to have the consulting firm brain storm with the committee to help establish a direction for a trail plan. Chairperson Peterson questioned whether they would do an initial consultation without incurring cost to the city. The Downtown Property Owners Association has met with SRF and plan to actively pursue TIF for downtown redevelopment. Committee Member Lindsay will contact SRF to see if a representative would be willing to meet with the Parks & Recreation Committee and at what cost. Requestin!! Charitable Gamblin!!
