OLD BUSINESS Goals Ms. Lien mentioned that she included this on the agenda for anyone who has an update on their individual goals. Trees: Mr. Porter explained that he had created sketches of three (3) of the parks that he felt needed additional trees. The three (3) parks are: Tracie McBride, Royal Meadows and Laurie LaMotte. Mr. Porter spoke with Joe Goetz, Goetz Landscape & Irrigation, regarding the trees in the parks, adding that he would like to see more shade trees. Mr. Goetz recommends using a protective shield around the bottom of the tree. Mr. Goetz also recommended waiting to place our order until late fall. Ifwe place our order in the fall, he is willing to include it with his order, which will save the City a great deal of money. Mr. Porter will get further information on exactly what the City will save by waiting to place the order later, and give an update at the August meeting. Mr. Porter mentioned that some of the trees planted at Acorn Creek Park last fall have died. Ms. Lien explained that she had left a message a couple of weeks ago with Larson Nursery, but hasn't heard back from them yet. Ms. Lien will put another call into them. Benches/Tables: Tedd Peterson (Public Works employee) explained that the City is renting an auger to dig holes to secure the trash receptacles, picnic tables and fence poles at the parks. Mr. Peterson would like to get together with Mr. Porter to determine the placement of these items at each park. Landscaping: Ms. Lien distributed a quote received from Pete Lawrence, Goetz Landscape & Irrigation, for the removal and installation of new landscaping materials around the two (2) Memorial Park signs. The quote came in at $7,830; which seemed a little high to the committee, but after discussion, the committee realized that with the removal, this quote didn't seem unreasonable. Ms. DeVine wanted to discuss the quote further with Mr. Lawrence to see if there were any options. After discussing with Mr. Lawrence, Ms. DeVine will physically present and poll the remaining committee members and proceed from there. The goal is to have the sign at Laurie LaMotte Park completed before the Fete des Lacs Celebration held on July 28 - 30, 2000. Basketball hOODS Mr. Porter explained that the quote submitted last month of$1590 was for one (I) basketball hoop, which means it would cost $3180 for two (2) hoops. Gametime charges $900 per hoop. Ms. Lien explained that she had received a phone call from a gentleman questioning the status ofthe ''tennis court" in Eagle Pass. Mr. March contacted the developer of Eagle Pass, and was informed that the developer plans on completing the pad this summer. Apparently this pad was labeled a "sport court" and the developer 2
