Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes <br />09-02-09 <br />City bypassing this service especially since the League paid for a new drag last year for the City to use. <br />Centennial Lakes Little League has provided baseball and softball opportunities for boys and girls in our <br />community as well as contributed to improvements to the fields and this is accomplished through the help of <br />their volunteers. I don't see where the big costs savings would be figuring 1 hour per day, 4 days a <br />week for the months of May and June. Lastly, the League doesn't have the equipment available in <br />Centerville to maintain the fields or personnel available to take care of. I would greatly appreciate it if you <br />would keep my opinion in mind when discussing at your upcoming budget meeting. <br /> <br />As this is a City Council decision, the committee can only recommend the ball fields be maintained by <br />Public Works Staff in the manner they have in the past allowing the Centennial Little League to continue <br />using the fields. <br /> <br />VI. UPDATES <br /> <br />City Council approved final payment to Bonestroo for work on Hidden Spring Park as recommended by the <br />Parks & Recreation Committee. <br /> <br />The Council gave preliminary approval to the trailside park that will be constructed along Main Street <br />downtown. This is a component of the trail grant project. <br /> <br />Irrigation at Hidden Spring Park <br /> <br />City Council declined to approve an irrigation system for Hidden Spring Park, due to severe budget <br />concerns. <br /> <br />Bids to Treat Ash Trees at Hidden Spring and City Hall for Emerald Ash Borer <br /> <br />City Council declined to approve chemical treatment of Ash trees to prevent Emerald Ash Borer. Staff will <br />see if there are any available recommendations from the Department of Agriculture or Anoka County Parks <br />on chemical treatment of Ash trees. <br /> <br />Pedestrian & Bicycle Ramps/Curb Cut Outs on CSAH 14 at Lakeland Circle & Peltier Lake <br />Drive <br /> <br />A request was sent to Anoka County Highway Department to look at this issue per the Parks & Recreations <br />Committee’s request. No answer has been received at this time. <br /> <br />VII. ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Branch to <br />adjourn the September 2, 2009 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting at 8:50 p.m. All in favor. <br />Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Transcribed by Kim Stephan <br />7 of 7 <br />
