MEMO TO: Parks & Recreation Committee FROM: Kim Stephan SUBJECT: Updates DATE: September 28, 2006 Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovations The committee received a letter from Mr. Josh Nelson who is 10 years old and lives near Tracie McBride Memorial Park. Mr. Nelson's letter included renovation suggestions for the park and is included in your packet. I also received suggestions from another teenage resident requesting the City consider football fields at either Tracie McBride Memorial Park or Acorn Creek or both. It was said that on any given fall night there are football games being played by the neighborhood kids at both parks and even a small football field would be great. Consideration of Shelter at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park The committee questioned if the City were to build a picnic shelter at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park and wanted to install a water fountain, could it be done without installing sewer by having the water run off into a rain garden type area? Mr. Palzer, Building Official, said state code does allow for this and it could be done. 1601 LaMotte Drive I Centerville Lake Property The committee needs to start considering a name for the park. Waiting further information regarding the following issue: Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director and Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director were out visiting the new park property and reviewing the work for the demolition of the house and garage and remembered that the storm sewer system at that driveway is not complete from the 2004 street improvements. An email was sent by Mr. Palzer to Mr. Mark Statz, City Engineer with the following questions: Do you have plans for the completion of the storm sewer system? Does it include a pond on the new park property or just some piping and a rain water garden type structure? Let me know if you have a plan and if this needs to be reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed prior to completion of the work. 10f3
