of your time than necessary.
We would like to offer a variety of opportunities to the

other?)

- what logistics are there (registration, advertising) and
how can we work together?

Committee Member Patrick Branch was swore in and welcomed to the committee by
Chairperson Seeley.
Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovations
The committee gave a summary of the Tracie McBride Memorial Park renovations for
the benefit of Committee Member Branch. The committee will plan a park tour in April.
Screening for the satellite at the park was discussed. Chairperson Seeley explained to
Committee Member Branch how the committee works regarding splitting into sub-committees
to work on various projects.
Mr. Paul PaIzer presented the committee with a printout and cost of a Dogi-Pot Pet Station
which could be installed at the parks or near trailheads to be used to deposit dog feces. The
committee thought it a really good idea and would like to recommend City Council direct staff
to purchase and install one at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park near the trail. If this eliminates
some of the problems with pet waste, the committee would like to potentially order more for
the other parks.
Motion was made by ComlDittee Member Harris, seconded by Chairpenon Seeley to
reeoDllDeDd City COUDcll direct staff to purchase and install ODe Dogi-Pot Pet Station
near the trailhead at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park with the cost not to exceed $300 for
product, shipping and installation. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
At the last committee meeting proposals were discussed for a new merry go round type
stmcture for 2 - 5 year olds, a climbing wall, tallc1ng shoots and borders, drain tile and new fall
zone protection to be installed in 2008. A subcommittee of Chairperson Seeley, Committee
Member Harris and Ms. Lee will meet Wednesday, January 9, 2008 to finali7.e these plans with
a recommendation to be made at the February committee meeting.
Park Rules
At the December 5, 2007 Parks &. Recreation meeting, the committee discussed City Code as it
applies to Park Rules. Each item was discussed and Chairperson Seeley put it into document ,
form which was reviewed at the January 2, 2008 meeting. Almost each issue the committee
addressed is currently covered by City Code, but there were a few the committee would like
City Council to consider Adding to City Code; no fishing, no swimming. no boat launching
where posted and an addition to 92.04: no glass or glass containers. The document lists which
2of4
Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes January 2, 2008
'rules' the committee would like posted at the parks. While the City Code already exists to
regulate these rules the committee felt having it posted makes it easier for police to enforce.
The committee would also like signs stating the picnic tables are not to be moved as they are
heavy and it would be difficult for those wanting to use the tables in the pavilions to move them
once they were moved outside of the pavilion area.
Motion was made by Chairpenon Seeley, seconded by Committee Member Selander, to
request City Co_eil ad tile City Attorney review the work the committee has do.e on
the Park Rules and incorporate into City Code where speeified. AD in favor. Motion
carried unanimously.
Summer Pro2rams
In past years there have been very successful programs held in Centerville through Wargo
Nature Center and the YMCA, but there were also programs that had to be cancelled due to
lack of participation. The committee is concerned about the challenges of the CSAH 14 detour
and cutting off Wargo Natme Center and the YMCA from our community. The committee
would like to have offerings of summer programs to the community. Council Member Lee
suggested contacting Ollie & Company regarding a potential skate board show/competition,
perhaps in June. The committee discussed the possibility of using this as a fund raiser for Parks
& Recreation by renting infl~tJlhle jumpers for the younger children and selling concessions.
Council Member Lee suggested contacting the EDA and having local businesses sponsor this
event Committee Member Harris will contact Council Member Lakso who is president of the
EDA and discuss this idea. Council Member Lee will contact Ollie & Company. Chairperson
Seeley will talk to the director of Wargo Nature Center concerning possible summer programs
and bring information to the next scheduled meeting. Mr. Patzer suggested a tennis camp.
Council Member Lee would like to see music in the parks, maybe on a monthly or bi-weekly
basis. Ms. Stephan will contact Ms. LaChelle Williams, at the Chain of Lakes YMCA, to ask if
there is any interest in working with the committee on summer programs in Centerville.
Kellv Miller Circus
Ms. Stephan included information regarding the Kelly-Miller Circus in the packet as the circus
was tentatively booked to return to Centerville the Wednesday following Memorial Day in
2008. The Kelly-Miller Circus was in Centerville in 2006, but was not available in this area in
2007 as they only go the same route every two (2) years.
Vice-Chairperson Amundsen called the Kelly-Miller Circus to inquire about their 2008
schedule and was told they will not be coming to the state of Minnesota this year. In 2007 they
were sold to a new owner; Mr. Harry Rawls, who made the first presentation to the Parks &
Recreation Committee, is no longer with them. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen was told they
have a lot of shows in the state of Indiana this year and will not make it this far West.

Centennial Soccer Club's Request for Use of Fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
Included in your packets is a request from the Centennial Soccer Club for use of the fields at Laurie LaMotte
Memorial Park for the 2008 season. Following is the recommendation the committee made to City COlDlCil
in 2007. This recommendation was approved by Council.
February 8, 2007: The Centennial Soccer Club has requested the use of the fields at Laurie LaMotte
Memorial Park in a letter dated January 3, 2007. There are two parts to the request:
I. Requesting two fields, 25 x 40 yard open spaces, located east of the parking lot and bound by
the bike path, for the U2 - U8 age group, for gUles only. This request is for Monday - Friday
from 4 p.m. to dusk, April 28 through June 30, 2887. De Centennial Souer Club wiD set up
goals and manage a reservation system to assign teams to specific dates and times for games.
2. Requesting one fi~ 70 x 60 yard open spa", located south of the skate park, for the VII -
VI2 age group, for practice only. This request is for Monday - Friday 3:00 p.... to dusk,
Saturday and Sunday from 8 L'" to dusk, Aprill through October 29, 2087. The CeateBnial
Soccer Club wiD set up goals and manage a reservation system to assip teams to specific dates
and tUnes for practices.
Council Member Lee mentioned that when the football season starts in August there will be no place for the
local youth teams to practice if all the fields are committed to the Centennial Soccer Club every day of the
week from April through October. 1he committee's concern with this was that the football association has
not asked for time or fields and the Soeeer Club has. It was suggested the football representatives be made
aware they should be requesting time. In discussing this request however, some of the committee members
felt the fields should have some time left open for the public's use for such activities as softbaa frisbee and
football. Overall, the committee felt a compromise would be to reduce the days in request #2.
Motion was made by Viee-Chairpenon Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Selander to
recommend to City Couneil approving the Centennial Soeeer Club's request for dedicated use of the
soccer fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park as stated above in request ##1, but reeo..eDd
aBlendial tile request in request ##2 to the following days: Monday, Wedaesday, Friday and Sunday
with tIIe....rs as requested. All ia favor. Motion carried anuialouly.

Recreation Committee Members consideration in allowing our club and players to use these fields during our

SUbject: Parking Lot & Trail at laMotte Park
Good Afternoon,
Tedd Peterson asked me to send you an email and remind you of the damage done to the parking lot and
trail at LaMotte Park by the construction crew working at Hidden Spring Park. I have emailed you a
few times regarding this and don't recall getting a response. Tedd said he had just read the engineering
report and the references to the work needing to be done in the spring to Hidden Spring Park did not
mention this issue and he did not want it to be lost in the shuffle.
