Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes November 7, 2007 existing playground to $88,340 for a completely new structure on an adjoining location. Both estimates include drain tile, replacement of the trail, a sidewalk connection to Brian Drive, a concrete border and rubber fall protection (rubber estimated $25,000). The committee discussed other differences in the two estimates, including the fact that the rehabilitation does not include any new play structures, which is the case for the other option. Consensus was that staff should come back next month with a new plan that rehabs the existing play structure, but also adds additional play structures and eventually replaces the existing with new, in two or three phases, trying to stay within the $45,000 allocated budget for the ftrst phase. Mr. Palzer reviewed work that is needed on the pump house in the park, including an estimate to dress up the building with brick or stone. The committee didn't feel that the additional $10,000 for brick or stone is worth the cost and would rather see those funds used for park features. Committee Member Harris suggested that an enclosure be attached to the back of the pump house to screen the portable toilet. Staff indicated that it would not be possible to attach to the pump house due to the fire hazard associated with the plastic toilet structures. Since they are made of plastic they can be burned and have been targets of vandals in the past. It was agreed that a freestanding screen enclosure should be built away from the pump house building.

Park Rules Vice-Chairperson Amundsen handed out Chapter 92 of the City Code which regulates park use and also a two page list of possible rules to consider. The rules were discussed briefly. Additional rules on use of pavilions and moving picnic tables were added to the list for consideration. The matter will be placed on the next agenda with the intention of honing the list down to those that would be posted in the parks and other ideas that may be suggested for revision to the City Code. 20f3
