Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes August 2, 2006 St. Genevieve's Draina2e Structure in the Ri2ht-of-Wavffrail Easement on Herita2e Street City Council discussed this issue at the July 26, City Council Meeting. City Administrator Larson is working with St. Genevieve representatives to resolve this issue to all parties' satisfaction. The City wants the structure removed from the Right-of-Way and away from the trail easement, hopefully replacing the drainage structure with something less dangerous. The City is not willing to pay to have this structure moved as Council feels it should not have been built in the location it was built in or built the way it was. There has been no response from St. Genevieve at this time. Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovation The committee discussed how much of the play equipment, border and mulch/sand can be removed this fall. The committee opted to adjourn and go to the park to better visualize what needs to be done. Chairperson Peil emailed the following information/questions to be added to the minutes and passed on to Public Works: After visiting Tracie McBride Memorial Park, the committee decided to ask the Public Works Department to completely remove the two (2) small play areas at the park this fall. The two (2) areas are as follows: the swing area with the two (2) baby swings attached, including sand and border timbers. The other area has the spring toys in it. The committee is hoping that it will be easier to demo it in sections, rather than all at once next spring. Is there space at Public Works to store this equipment for re-installation later? Also, the committee would like to know what is still necessary (meters, pipe stands, etc.) behind the old fenced area around the pump house. Can the fence be re-built to accommodate only what has to be there to free up more space? Is there paint available to touch up the play structure there? And are there man hours to do any of this? This information/request was forwarded to Dallas Larson, Paul Palzer and Tedd Peterson. Trial Easement - 1818 Fox Run The following Parks & Recreation Committee's recommendation was approved by City Council at the July 26, 2006 City Council Meeting. Mr. Andre Ziegler has been contacted regarding his options. Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to recommend to City Council that Mr. & Mrs. Ziegler, 1818 Fox Run, should adhere to the current ordinance by either removing the bridge located in the trail easement or apply for a permit and encroachment agreement. The committee does not wish to vacate this easement. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. PlaQue for Chairperson/Committee Member Tedd Peterson Ms. Stephan will order a plaque for outgoing Chairperson/Committee Member Tedd Peterson and invite Mr. Peterson to attend the September 6, 2006 Committee Meeting. IX. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Committee Member Merkel, seconded by Committee member Amundsen to adjourn the August 2, 2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting at 7:30 p.m. All in favor.
