AU in Favor: Motion passed unanimously. 7. Ice Rink Attendant (Peterson) Committee Member Peterson will supervise the ice rink attendants again this year and will work with the City Administrator to start to hiring process. 8. Royal Meadows Park Committee Member Walter drafted a letter to potentially be sent to the residents near Royal Meadows Park informing them of the possibility of moving the play structure from the park, adding an additional basketball hoop and the reasons for considering this move. Some residents have already expressed concern, recognizing there are problems in the park, but at the same time would not like to see the equipment moved as there are small children who use the play structure. Committee Member Walter will modify the letter with the committee's suggestions. The goal is to send a letter to residents in January notifying them of the public input hearing and holding the hearing in February. 9. Replacement of Timbers at Tracie McBride Memorial Park Committee Member Seeley presented three (3) bids to replace the timbers at Tracie McBride Memorial Park. Some of these timbers have become a safety issue. The committee would like to recommend the current timbers be replaced with recycled materials and installed by the Earl F. Anderson Company, which also supplied all the skate park equipment. Motion wa~ made by Committee Member Seeley, se~onded by Committee .Member Walter to recommend council direct staff to contact theEari F. Anderson Company accepting their bid of $4,076.10 to replace the existing timber'S at Tracie McBride Park with the recycled material as listed an the estimate given, with funds taken from the maintenance budget. Ai! in Favor: Motion passed unanimously. 10. Development of Buckbee Property / Park Dedication Fees The committee is concerned because the preliminary plat of the Buckbee property is going to the Planning & Zoning Commission and to the City Council for approval without the Parks & Recreation Committee having a chance to look at it. One of the issues is who determines whether land is donated in lieu of Park Dedication Fees, the developer or the city. The Parks & Recreation Committee made a recommendation to council to change the wording in the fee schedule to cover this area in the fall of 2002, but in looking at the fee schedule, the change is not there. Committee Member Lee will research this area further with the City Clerk. The committee feels the area of the Buckbee property which is currently being discussed as being donated as park land is not necessarily a piece of property that would have value as a park. 50f6
