<br />, <br /> <br />NOT <br />APPROVED <br /> <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES <br /> <br />April 4, 2001 <br /> <br />Pursuant to due call and notice thereof; the Parks and Recreation Committee of the City <br />of Centerville held their regularly scheduled meeting on April 4, 200 I at City Hall, 1880 <br />Main Street. Chairperson Doug Porter called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.rn. <br /> <br />Present: <br /> <br />Chairperson Doug Porter <br />Wayne LeBlanc <br />Karla DeVine <br />Tedd Peterson <br />Brian Walter <br /> <br />Absent: <br /> <br />Staff: Jill Lien <br /> <br />APPEARANCES <br /> <br />Mr. Jeffrey Johnson of the Centennial Soccer Club appeared before the Parks and <br />Recreation Committee to express interest in the use of the soccer fields at Laurie LaMotte <br />Park this summer. Mr. Johnson also shared his concerns with the size of one of the <br />soccer fields not being within regulation, the condition of the turf of the fields, and if <br />there were any possibilities of running irrigation to the fields. Additionally, the northeast <br />comer of the south field (adult field) has a slight incline, which restricts the playing on <br />that field. Mr. Johnson mentioned that the referees "walked I paced out" the width of this <br />field, and all had concurred that the field is not 50 yards wide. Standard regulation size is <br />50 yards wide by 100 yards long (50xI00). The youth field is fine the way it is, but the <br />adult field is not within regulation. Mr. Johnson stated that the Centennial Soccer Club <br />would use these fields for practice only. Typically use would be in the evening, Monday <br />through Friday. Hopefully next year, they will use it more for games. <br /> <br />Mr. Porter commented that the Parks and Recreation Committee is committed to making <br />the turf at LaMotte Park, and all of the parks, in excellent condition. He also explained <br />the future plans for utilization of the parks through programs offered through the YMCA <br />Day Camp and the Wargo Nature Center. <br /> <br />Ms. DeVine offered to meet with Mr. PaIzer next week to "mark-out" the correct size of <br />the soccer field. Ms. DeVine will update the Committee at the May meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Terry Sweeney (7154 Brian Drive) appeared before the Parks and Recreation <br />Committee to discuss the Draft Goal Directives Proposal presented by Mayor Swedberg. <br />Specifically, Mr. Sweeney wasn't pleased with the $75k addition to the Parks and <br /> <br />I <br />
