Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes April 4, 2007 dollar figures. The Centerville Lions are willing to pay a portion of this, but would like the City to contribute the other portion. Mr. Johnson said they are proposing installing one post across from the new play structure to service the rink area where the concession trailer and the bands are located, as well as servicing the kid's carnival. The other post would be located on the back side of the ball fields near the soccer fields. The post would be above ground with the wires bored underground Council Member Lee stated two concerns would be timing and cost. The Lions would need the electrical installed prior to the festival and the committee does not have any funds available to allocate to this project at this time. Mr. Johnson will keep the committee informed Mr. Riehard Anderson asked if he could address the committee with a few ideas and concerns regarding the renovation of Tracie McBride Memorial Park. Mr. Anderson lives near the park and brought forward some ideas from his neighbors as well. The committee has been considering a larger basketball court with the park renovation. Mr. Anderson stated he did not feel the basketball court that was currently at the park, nor the one at Royal Meadows Park, was utilized enough to constitute an expansion and suggested the committee consider a tennis court. Mr. Anderson and some of his neighbors felt that there should be something at the park for adults and the only tennis court in Centerville is in Eagle Pass. The committee went on to discuss some of the ideas Committee Member Harris had been working on for this park and in general felt the idea of a tennis court was an outstanding idea as the committee would like diversity in the City parks. The committee opted to continue discussion of Tracie McBride Memorial Park during this part of the meeting as Mr. Anderson was in attendance. Ms. Stephan reported Gopher One had been contacted to locate utilities and the park had been flagged. Public Works took pictures of the location of the flags and Chairperson Seeley drew a map for future reference. Mr. Anderson, as a former committee member, was involved in the original survey of the residents neighboring the park to see what type of amenities they would like to see at this park. Mr. Anderson said he would be willing to be involved in some capacity again and was willing to go door to door and talk to people. The committee liked the idea of a bike path completely surrounding the park with a drin1cing fountain near the current building. The committee would like to save the play structure equipment that is still sound. Committee Member Harris and Council Member Lee agreed to meet at the park on Saturday, April 7, 2007 to go through the equipment to determine what can be reused. Chairperson Seeley requested they get measurements of the perimeter since the timbers have to be replaced and the dimensions are needed for a quote. Chairperson Seeley did extensive research a few years ago on borders made from recycled materials. This park may also have to be done in phases because of budget limitations, but the play area has to be done first and this year. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen will research the dimensions of a tennis court. IV.
