Budget 2000 Update <br /> Mr. Navin explained that he made an appearance at the last City Council meeting, and the Park <br /> and Recreation's request for a $50,000 budget was approved. Mr. Navin requested that each <br /> member of the Park and Recreation committee take ownership or spearhead one or two of the <br /> goals presented to Council. Basically, he wanted to create an action plan for each of the goals. <br /> This will show the Council and the citizens of Centerville that the Park and Recreation <br /> Committee is serious about their visions, plans and goals. <br /> The Committee divided up the goals amongst itself as followings: <br /> Mr. Navin Turf/Weed Control (All Parks) <br /> Trail (LaMotte Park) <br /> Curb and Gutter (LaMotte Park) <br /> Mr. Larson Trees (All Parks) <br /> Mr. Porter Benches/Tables (All Parks) <br /> Trash Receptacles (A11 Parks) <br /> Mr. Brown Turf/Weed Control (All Parks) <br /> General Lighting (All Parks) <br /> Ms. DeVine Landscaping (Signs) (All Parks) <br /> Playground Equip. (Royal Meadows) <br /> Mr. LeBlanc Trail ( LaMotte Park) <br /> Ms. DeVine mentioned that she had met Chris Henry with the DNR. Apparently Ms. Henry <br /> advised Ms. Devine to apply for the LCMR grants offered by the DNR. They are due by <br /> February, and Ms. Henry offered to help Centerville obtain the grants. <br /> There was discussion regarding surveys that have been done in the city in the past, and surveys <br /> that should be done in the future that would be specific to each committee, along with a <br /> feasibility study. <br /> Mr. LeBlanc stressed that the committee's make the priorities. Adding, there is nothing in the <br /> budget that implements the design team visions. He would like to see them implemented and <br /> included in the budget. <br /> Mr. March stressed that there is still no prioritization of the design team ideas. Adding, that we <br /> cannot do them all at once. If the entire City were surveyed, more residents would want to see <br /> the downtown area developed than would want to see the City purchase the $300,000 lot for sale <br /> (containing the six -plex) for future park development. <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
