<br />MEMO <br /> <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Committee Members <br /> <br />FROM: Kim Stephan <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Committee Business & Updates <br /> <br />DATE: October 31,2008 <br /> <br />Additional Lie:htine: at Tracie McBride Memorial & Eae:le Parks <br /> <br />The following email is from Officer Andrew Dixon regarding supplying the committee with more <br />information about lighting at the parks: <br /> <br />I had planned on attending the meeting last I understood, however my schedule has been moved and I am no <br />longer working the day of the Nov. meeting. I will have a CSO deliver some iriformation to you promptly <br />and I appreciate the reminder. Andy Dixon <br /> <br />Included in your packet is information from Officer Dixon. <br /> <br />Drinkine: Fountain at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park <br /> <br />Included in your packet is a cost estimate from Mr. Paul Palzer regarding a drinking fountain being installed <br />at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. <br /> <br />Mr. Tedd Peterson, Public Works asked me to have the committee also consider a few things concerning <br />drinking fountains at the parks, he said they are a nightmare from Public Works standpoint and he would like <br />the committee to reconsider putting yet another one in Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. He would also like <br />the committee to reconsider the spigot idea. While both of these are nice amenities for nice people, there are <br />not so nice people who are causing problems with the already existing drinking fountains. They are being <br />damaged and vandalized, the fountain at Tracie McBride Memorial Park was jimmied and left on (which he <br />says will happen to the spigots regardless of the spring loaded shut oft) they are finding garbage, dirt, rocks, <br />gum, etc. in them on a daily basis. It has not been a good experience at this point and Mr. Peterson said <br />people who use the ball fields bring their own water. <br />
