.. 1. Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes January 4, 2006 The Parks & Recreation Committee received a letter from the Centennial Lakes Little League requesting the use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park ball fields and the same service provided by Public Works Staff in regards to grooming the fields prior to games. This would be the same schedule as was approved in 2005. At this time, no other requests have been received. The Centennial Lakes Little League has worked with the city in the past donating all the backstops and purchased an attachment for the tractor, which is used in grooming the fields. The letter received from Mr. Patrick Mahr also requested the use of the fields behind Centerville Elementary School. Ms. Stephan notified Mr. Mahr that the City of Centerville cannot give permission for the school's fields as this is not City property. Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Peil, to recommend to City Council to accept the request from Centennial Little League to use the three baseball and softball fields and facilities located in Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the summer months of 2006 beginning April 1 through August 15, 2006, Monday through Friday from 4:00 p.m. until dark. All in Favor: Motion passed unanimously. Reauestine- Donations from Local Businesses for Play Structure at Laurie LaMotte Park City Administrator Larson had suggested the committee solicit funds for the play structure at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park from local businesses, in addition to the requests for charitable gambling funds already sent to the Spring Lake Park Lions and the Dead Broke Saddle Club. Charitable gambling funds were requested in September 2005, but as of this time there has been no response from either the Spring Lake Park Lions or the Dead Broke Saddle Club. Ms. Stephan sent letters to both on December 29, 2005 requesting a response. It was discussed that the request should be sent to all the businesses in the business directory, not just the bigger businesses, but the ones who have recently paid Park Dedication Fees should be deleted from the request for park solicitations. Ms. Stephan will draft a letter and submit to the committee for approval. Vll. UPDATES Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Play Structure This item was discussed under appearances. Chairperson Peterson will contact E.F. Anderson (play structures) to see if they have any play structures with a recycle theme. The committee is meeting on Saturday, January 21, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. at the Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park warming house to specifically discuss the play structure. This meeting has been posted. Skatin!! Ni!!hts with Horse Drawn Hayride & Bonfire The Parks & Recreation Committee scheduled two Skate Nights for the month of January; Friday, January 6 and Friday, January 27, 2006 at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The horse drawn hayride was rented from Bunker Stables. Unfortunately, due to the unseasonably warm weather, there is not ice on the rinks and Chairperson Peterson opted to cancel the January 6th event. Bunker Stables was gracious about the problem and has not charged us to cancel. The committee discussed rescheduling but decided to plan for the January 27th event and hope for colder weather. Ms. Stephan forwarded the cancellation via email to all council, committee and 30f5
