COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> <br /> Swearing in of Committee Member Patrick Branch <br /> <br /> Committee Member Patrick Branch was swore in and welcomed to the committee by <br /> Chairperson Seeley. <br /> <br />Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovations <br /> <br /> <br /> The committee gave a summary of the Tracie McBride Memorial Park renovations for <br />the benefit of Committee Member Branch. The committee will plan a park tour in April. <br /> <br />Screening for the satellite at the park was discussed. Chairperson Seeley explained to <br />Committee Member Branch how the committee works regarding splitting into sub-committees <br />to work on various projects. <br /> <br />Mr. Paul Palzer presented the committee with a printout and cost of a Dogi-Pot Pet Station <br />which could be installed at the parks or near trailheads to be used to deposit dog feces. The <br />committee thought it a really good idea and would like to recommend City Council direct staff <br />to purchase and install one at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park near the trail. If this eliminates <br />some of the problems with pet waste, the committee would like to potentially order more for <br />the other parks. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Harris, seconded by Chairperson Seeley to <br />recommend City Council direct staff to purchase and install one Dogi-Pot Pet Station <br />near the trailhead at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park with the cost not to exceed $300 for <br />product, shipping and installation. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />At the last meeting, proposals were discussed for a new merry go round, a play structure for 2-5 <br />year olds, a climbing wall, talk tubes, borders, drain tile and new fall protection to be installed <br /> <br />in 2008.

Each item was discussed and Chairperson Seeley put it into document <br />form which was reviewed at the January 2, 2008 meeting. Almost each issue the committee <br />addressed is currently covered by City Code, but there were a few the committee would like <br />City Council to consider adding to City Code; no fishing, no swimming, no boat launching <br />where posted and an addition to 92.04: no glass or glass containers. The document lists which <br />2 of 4 <br /> <br />
