Subject: Park & Rec
Good Morning Teresa,
I hope all is well with you and your family. I have a scout Rob Bacon that would like to come before Park & Rec to
discuss potential eagle projects for the city. He has emailed Paul about discussion of one project that had been on the
radar in the past, but I am not even certain if it is still a need and that would be working with a forester to thin out the
tree growth in Eagle Park.
If there is still a need for this to be completed I feel it would qualify as an eagle project due to it being a conservation
project verses a maintenance project. I know from the past Pat Branch has sent several ideas to the scoutmaster but
the majority of them would have been consider to be more to be maintenance and that type of project would not
qualify.
If it hasn't already been done would you be able to add Rob Bacon under appearances to the next Park & Rec agenda, I
would attend the meeting as his eagle mentor to assist with any clarification of any potential project. Rob will be
turning 17 next week so a project that can be approved and completed within a year would be what he would
need. Thanks for your assistance and below is Rob's contact information.

V. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
City of Centerville
Parks & Recreation Committee
November 6, 2013
1. Disposition of Lions Donation & proceeds of Festival of Lakes Run (Park Bench
Update — Chairperson Branch)
There was discussion of how best to use the proceeds of the Festival of Lakes 5K/8K
runs, $2,541.26 and a $500 donation received from the Centerville Lions. The
Committee has previously discussed the purchase of several park benches and subsequent
to research it has been determined that the best option would be benches constructed from
recycled plastic. Five would be purchased from Minncor, and installed by the Public
Works Department along the park trail at Trailside Park (2), with one (1) each adjacent to
the tennis court, volleyball court and the playground equipment at LaMotte Park. The
estimated cost is $500 per bench with an additional $200 per bench for installation. It
was anticipated that if they were purchased soon, they would arrive in the spring of 2014.
Motion was made by Committee Member Branch, seconded by Committee Member
Amundsen to recommend to the City Council to authorize the expenditure of
$3,041.26 for the purchase of five (5) park benches with locations of installation to
be determined. All in favor. Motion carried.
1. Basketball Courts — LaMotte Park
The Committee has been discussing options for installing a basketball court on the
hockey rink for off season usage and has been looking at the possibility of placing the
pole outside the boards and cantilevering the hoop over the boards. Mr. Palzer has
suggested an alternative solution of mounting the basketball goal post in a jersey -wall
like base. The base would weigh approximately 1,500 pounds and would be removable
with a bobcat. With Mr. Palzer's suggestion, additional research will continue; however,
with the new suggestion it is felt that the installation would be more economically
feasible.
2. Update of Volleyball Game Challenge — Committee Member Peterson
The "Grand Opening" of the new volleyball court commenced with a challenge game
between the Parks and Recreation Committee, City Council and City Staff on Saturday,
July 14 at 6:00 p.m. It was held just prior to the Movie in the Park event.
3. Update of Movie in the Park — Committee Member Peterson
Committee Members felt that the September event was well received.
The Committee has been working with the Centennial Fire Department to host a movie.
The event is tentatively scheduled for Dec 7, 2013 to be held in the fire station and is free
to the public. A meeting has been set up this coming Friday to work out the details.
A motion was made by Committee Member Branch, seconded by Committee
Member Amundsen to recommend to the City Council to expend $327 for an
additional movie prior to the end of the year. All in favor. Motion carried.

Additional discussion ensued regarding alternative locations if the fire hall is determined
to not be conducive to the showing, parking, beverages, seating, donations of food items
or toys, etc. The Committee stated that viewing of the moving is free but any donated
items would be optional.
4. 2014 Iee Skating Parties
There will be two Ice Skating Parties in 2014; the first scheduled for January 11, 2013
and the second scheduled for February 8, 2013. The February event will include hayrides
provided by the Bunker Hills Park Stable. Additional discussion took place regarding
needed supplies and offering hot chocolate and popcorn.
5. Thank you letter to former Committee Member Haiden
Chairperson Branch offered to compose a letter for signing by the Mayor.
6. Drinking Fountains
A suggestion was made that the installation of water fountains should be considered as
additions to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park and Acorn Park, near the athletic fields and
possibly by the warming house.
A proposed "Potential Park Improvement Projects List" was presented by Chairperson
Branch. This list included various park improvement projects, including purchase of park
benches, installation of a basketball court at LaMotte Park (utilizing the hockey rink),
adding electric and water outlets at the LaMotte Pavilion, adding water fountains near
athletic fields and warming house at LaMotte and Acorn Creek Parks, irrigation systems
at Cornerstone, Acorn Creek, Hidden Spring and McBride Parks. All the above items are
listed for completion in 2014 with the exception of the irrigation which has a date of
2015. These items still need to be prioritized. This list also included a volleyball court at
LaMotte Park which was completed in September, 2013.
The Committee estimates that by the end of the year there will be in excess of $1,000
from the difference of true expenditures versus budgeted amount and requests that
Council consider placing this amount into a dedicated fund for park improvements for
2014 (drinking fountains, electrical upgrades, programmable locks, etc. This item along
with a "projects list" is tabled until the December meeting.
7. Applications for Special Events — Administrative Staff and Council previously
