Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes September 6, 2006 IV. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES Aue:ust 2. 2006 Parks and Recreation Committee Meetine: Minutes Motion was made by Chairperson Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley, to approve the August 2, 2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes as is. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. V. COMMITTEE BUSINESS Recruitine: New Members for the Parks & Recreation Committee There is still one opening on the Parks & Recreation Committee. The committee will continue to try and recruit another member. Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovation The idea was to get some of the demolition work done this fall to make it easier in the spring to install the new park equipment as soon as possible. But, the committee questioned whether it would be easier/more cost effective to remove everything in the spring. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director, responded to the request as follows: Public Works Staffmay be able to get to some of these items yet this fall, but we are running weeks behind on other public works projects with the installation of the playground equipment this spring at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. We do have some room at public works for storing the playground equipment outside behind our building. The fenced area is no longer required by the telecommunication companies so it could be removed in its entirety. Mr. Palzer quested whether the committee wanted to reuse the sand which will be removed from the park. The committee does not have a layout for the park yet, but will not be re-using the sand. The committee plans on using the same product that was installed at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the drop zone. All the play structure equipment would be contained in one area opposed to the three areas which currently exist at the park. A basketball court is being considered. Chairperson Peil will bring the play structure equipment catalogs to the next meeting for review. The committee will meet at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park at 6:30 p.m. on October 4, 2006; the next regularly scheduled meeting date, to view Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, 1601 LaMotte Drive and Tracie McBride Memorial Park to get a better idea of the space they are discussing. The committee will meet back at City Hall at approximately 7:00 p.m. Ms. Stephan will ensure this is posted. Consideration of Shelter at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park There has been a suggestion/request for the committee to consider installing a covered shelter area with picnic tables, electrical outlets and a water fountain in the area of the ball fields. This could possibly be a joint venture, with the Centerville Lions supplying some of the labor. Chairperson Peil explained to the newer members about the Committee/City previously looking into a concession stand/community type building near the ball fields and the cost of sewer was approximately $35,000, which ruled out the building at the time.
