Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 01-07-09 discussion of two sided signs or multiple signs on the same post to eliminate too many signs. It would say ‘No Fishing, Wading, or Swimming’ on one side with ‘Natural Restoration Project’ on the other side. The wording was discussed at length trying to make it very clear with as less words as possible that the reason for no fishing, swimming, wading or boat landing is because the shoreline is in the process of being restored. It has to be specific however to enable officers to enforce it. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen is working on this project and will refine the design and bring more information back to the next committee meeting. Tree Removal at Eagle Park Vice-Chairperson Amundsen has contacted an arborist who works through the DNR. At this point they have not met, but Vice-Chairperson Amundsen hopes to have more information before the next meeting. Fete des Lacs 2009 Centerville Lake Walk/Run Committee Member Branch updated the committee on progress made over the last month and the possible routes were reviewed to determine where potential problems may arise. The exact route has not been finalized yet. Council/Committee Work Session Chairperson Seeley reminded the committee of the work session with City Council at the next scheduled Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting February 4, 2009 at 6:30 p.m. The discussion will focus on ways in which all parties involved can improve the process of managing park related projects. Mayor Capra had asked for specifics. Committee Member Haiden will not be in attendance, but will draft a ‘Project Requirement Document’ something similar to what his company uses in the work place. The idea is to be very specific with project requirements so to clear up any potential miscommunications between the Parks & Recreation Committee, Council & City Staff. Skate Night at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park - January 10, 2009 Ms. Stephan will go to Sam’s Club and get supplies for the Skate Night (popcorn, oil, hot chocolate, etc.) Vice-Chairperson Amundsen will stop at City Hall for supplies as well as pick up the snowman boards used for either the bean bag or snowball toss. Ms. Stephan will also pick up some prizes for the games. An area has been plowed by Public Works for the bonfire and Council Member Lee will supply the wood. All members are planning to attend. VII. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Chairperson Seeley, seconded by Vice-Chairperson Amundsen to adjourn the January 7, 2009 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting at 9:00 p.m. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. 4 of 4
