Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes 08 -04 -10 <br /> irrigation system at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The diagram shows the placement of all the <br /> sprinkler heads with the small ones in the ball fields recessing into the ground and won't be seen. The <br /> larger ones around the perimeter are 8" plates similar to what is used in golf courses. There was a <br /> second option presented that were larger than 8" and are more like what is used in agricultural fields. <br /> Committee Member Amundsen asked if any one had ever seen these used in a park and felt they were <br /> way too big for our purpose. Someone will get hurt or they will get damaged. Committee Selander <br /> agreed that these were not meant for a park, they would encourage children to play on them and they <br /> would be loud disturbing the neighbors. There is a significant price difference which is why Mr. <br /> Larson and Mr. Palzer encouraged Mr. Statz to look at them. The pump being used is capable of <br /> pumping 500 gallons per minute and while irrigation would occur during off peak park hours, they <br /> would need to run for 6 to 8 hours from like midnight to 8 am. It was questioned how much water we <br /> need to pump to meet the requirements of the project. Mr. Statz said an inch a week from the pond <br /> watering 12 acres of park requires minim 400 gallons per minutes at 80 PSI to get rid of the <br /> amount of water we need to. It was also questioned who was going to maintain this vast system of <br /> pipes and heads? The committee's recommendation to Mr. Statz and to City Council was to not use <br /> the largest heads for the above listed reasons. <br /> Mr. Statz also informed the committee that there is a possibility of the Fire Department's garage <br /> currently located at the old Public Works building moving to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. This <br /> will then be shared jointly for storage between the Fire Department and Public Works. <br /> IV.

All in favor. Motion <br /> carried unanimously. <br /> V. COMMITTEE BUSINESS <br /> Adding a Second Meeting in September Dedicated to 2011 Planning <br /> Chairperson Branch requested adding a discussion of a second Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> meeting in September to talk about projects and finances for the following year. The regularly <br /> scheduled September meeting includes an hour presentation from a Master Gardener on the Emerald <br /> Ash Borer so the agenda will be relatively short. <br /> The committee opted for Wednesday, September I V h at 6:30. Ms. Stephan will ensure this is posted. <br /> VI. UPDATES <br /> 2010 — 8K Run <br /> Chairperson Branch updated the committee on last minute details and job assignments of the <br /> upcoming race. At this point the race has taken in $1580 between registrants and sponsors per Mr. <br /> Mike Jeziorski, Finance Director.
