Council Member Brenner explained the youth center was very important desired by <br /> residents, and came about through the Minnesota Design Team visit. <br /> Council Member Sweeney offered he would rather see a community center than just a <br /> youth center. He also questioned where it would be located. <br /> Council Member Brenner stated it would be located near the current public works <br /> building. The City owns all of that land by public works. The plan is to build a youth <br /> center, bike ramps, basketball court, and a heritage museum all in that area. <br /> Council Member Travis questioned what was meant by complete ordinance codification. <br /> Mr. March explained this is a long awaited process which will take considerable time to <br /> complete. It is something that has needed to be done. He offered this is something the <br /> City could do over time, possibly a little at a time through council meetings. Other <br /> communities have taken up to 2 - 2 1/2 years to complete on their own codification. <br /> Some communities have hired interns to walk the streets to find violators (i.e.: junk <br /> vehicles, weeds, nuisances, etc.). <br /> Mayor Wilharber questioned if it would be better to have an attorney complete the <br /> codification for us, or possibly the intern. <br /> Jim March noted that our current intern, James Bownik has been the most productive and <br /> competent we have had, and more than likely we will be loosing him. <br /> Council Member Sweeney mentioned there were no mentions of park and trails on any of <br /> the mentioned goals. He stressed it is very important to allocate the use of our parks. He <br /> mentioned there aren't any football fields, tennis courts or basketball courts, and the grass <br /> isn't kept up very well at any of the parks. <br /> Mr. March commented this has been discussed in the past. Adding that in the past it was <br /> always more important to take cash over land for park dedication fees, but recently it has <br /> been more important to take land over cash. Currently the Park and Recreation <br /> Committee is looking into making the Acom Creek Park more appealing to older <br /> residents. Park and Recreation would like to see BBQ pits, picnic tables, benches, <br /> horseshoe pits, and possibly a dock on the pond or benches around the pond in the park <br /> area. He stressed the City needs to develop the parks we currently have. Mr. March also <br /> added the DNR has a lot more money this year than in the past, thus there are several <br /> grants the City will be applying for to help with the development of parks and trails. <br /> LaMotte Park is a regional park - open to all communities - not just Centerville. The <br /> Lions Club would like to build a shelter / concession stand in LaMotte Park to use at the <br /> annual Fete des' Lacs Celebration. They currently pay $2000.00 for two (2) days of tent <br /> rental. <br /> 5 <br />
