Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes 04-07-10 <br /> <br /> <br />The committee discussed this idea and found it worth researching, but had concerns regarding the <br />condition of the warming house kitchen area where concessions would be sold from. Committee <br />Member Amundsen said in preparing popcorn for the Skate Nights the area is in very bad need of <br />maintenance and repair. He felt the Health Department would not approve the conditions. The <br />committee would like to request Public Works do an inspection. It needs cleaning, painting and <br />something done with the ceiling at the very least. Committee Member Selander said Lexington sells <br />concessions from a very decrepit building at all Little League events and it is always busy. The <br />committee tabled this item requesting input from Public Works. Chairperson Branch will contact the <br />Health Department for information. Ms. Stephan will forward the request to Public Works. <br /> <br />Park Planning (Branch) <br /> <br />Chairperson Branch said this is a discussion that needs to be had by the committee, but because of the <br />amount of projects and items on the agenda during the spring/summer he feels it would best be a <br />discussion for fall/winter. He would like to build a simple table with a person who is responsible for <br />each park and projects associated with it. The committee will schedule a special meeting for a couple <br />of hours in the fall to discuss this item and the following agenda item, Discussion of History of Parks <br />(Future Developments, Plans, Additions, Park Overview. <br /> <br />Discussion of History of Parks (Future Developments, Plans, Additions, Park Overview) <br /> <br />See above. <br /> <br />Trailside Park (Was the Intention to Name the Park ~ Sunset Park) <br /> <br />This item was put on the agenda as Chairperson Branch thought the name for Trailside Park was <br />actually supposed to be Sunset Park. The committee members stated they had voted for Trailside <br />Park. <br /> <br />Fete des Lacs Parade / Activities Cancelled by Centerville Lions <br /> <br />Chairperson Branch requested the committee consider the events which will not be hosted by the <br />Lion’s Club this year: <br />Business Expo/Craft Show, Fireworks, Free Battle of the Teen Bands, Medallion Hunt, Free Kids <br />Rides on Saturday, Friday Night Street Dance, Free Lorenz Dance Show, Free USA Karate Demo <br />Show, Lion’s Car Show, Free Big Band Music on Sunday. <br />No action was taken at this time. <br />Safety Issue ~ Play Structure Equipment at Eagle Park <br />Committee Member Peterson requested this be put on the agenda as a neighbor had expressed concern <br />regarding a safety issue with some of the play structure equipment at Eagle Park. One of the <br />resident’s expressed concerns was that the bottom of the slides are too high off the ground for small <br />children, one having a 14 – 18” drop. Also there is not a railing on the triangular platform where it is <br />5 of 8 <br /> <br />
