<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />11-06-02 Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />The City Engineer will make these additional changes and then again supply the committee with the <br />disk. These will then be given to EDC, along with the disk of the digital pictures of local parks and <br />trails taken by Committee Member Leblanc. EDC is hoping to order this new packet before the end <br />of 2002. <br /> <br />VII. UPDA TES <br /> <br />1. Acorn Creek Park Trail Repair <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers requested this item be put back on the council agenda as the <br />Parks and Recreation Committee was concerned that nothing changed with the structure at the park <br />and water will run underneath continuing to cause erosion. Mr. Peterson, the City Engineer indicated <br />he had been out to check the structure and there is enough cover over it to hold the pipes down. He <br />then explained that the issue was heaving and noted that the structure is built the way the watershed <br />desired it to be built. He further explained that there is a skimmer in front that holds back green slime <br />and it is doing what it is supposed to do. <br /> <br />Committee Member Lee is concerned that the time limit on the developers agreement is close to <br />being up and the trail will become a city responsibility. Committee Member Lee said he will call the <br />Rice Creek Watershed Inspector and have them look at it when water is low. <br /> <br />2. Submitting Requests for Charitable Gambling <br /> <br />The City has not received a response from either Dead Broke Saddle Club or the Spring Lake Park <br />Lions at this time. Ms. Stephan will request the City Administrator follow up with a phone call to <br />each of the groups. <br /> <br />3. Pay Phone at Laurie LaJ\.10tte Park (DeVine) <br /> <br />Chairperson DeVine reported Mr. Palzer was under the impression the city was either going to hire <br />rink attendants for the skate park or install a pay phone. Since attendants were hired for the summer, <br />a pay phone was not installed. This item will be revisited in the spring after the renovations are <br />completed on the warming house. <br /> <br />4. Centennial Youth Hockey Association - Request to Reserve Ice Rink <br />Hockey Nets - LMC Recommendations <br /> <br />Committee Member Peil reported the Centennial Youth Hockey Association was requesting ice time <br />at Laurie LaIvIotte Park Monday through Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 9 p.m. with the first hour to be a <br />1;2 sheet of ice and the second hour using the entire rink (full sheet). The amount oftime the hockey <br />association had dedicated during the 2001-2002 season was one (1) hour per night of a full sheet of <br />ice, 3 nights per week from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Discussion as to what effect this increase of <br />dedicated time would have on other skaters and how the hockey association would handle this. <br />Committee Member Peil said the hockey association is used to playing on 1;2 sheets of ice and just <br />coordinates the time between their teams. Attendants will also be on duty to enforce the 1;2 sheet of <br />ice, if it should become a problem. Committee Member Peil also reported the hockey association is <br />willing to donate $600 toward hockey nets for the ice rink that are LMC approved. Committee <br />Member Peterson will continue trying to locate nets. <br /> <br />40f6 <br />
