COMMITTEE BUSINESS Budget Discussion 1 of 3 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 02-04-09 City Council had asked the committee to look at upcoming projects as well as a 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan.

Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovation, Phase II, includes basketball court. ? 8K Run (Approved). ? Signage (Approved) Hours & Rules in all parks, some specialty signs in Hidden Spring Park. ? Park Monument Signs, replace the signs in the other 4 parks to match the ones in Hidden Springs and Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, move the monument sign at Tracie McBride Memorial Park ? Trail Directional Signs on all trails. ? Lighting in all of the parks need to be reviewed, the committee would like consistency among the parks. This is also a public safety issue. Six lights would potentially be required. ? The committee would like to implement a ‘Music in the Park Program’, with funding the first year approximately $1,500 for three (3) events. ? Eagle Park tree trimming (Volunteers and Public Works). ? Buckthorn Eradication in all parks. Yearly Events ? Skate Nights with (1) Horse Drawn Hayride - $1000. ?

UPDATES Park Signage The committee discussed signage for Hidden Spring Park and filled out Project Requirement Form to be submitted to Public Works. They thought the form has great potential for eliminating any communication problems between the committee and staff. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen was going to work on the final draft of the form. 2 of 3 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 02-04-09 Tree Removal at Eagle Park Vice-Chairperson Amundsen said he was supposed to meet the DNR Forester from Carlos Avery two weeks ago at Eagle Park, but the Forester did not show up or return Vice-Chairperson Amundsen’s calls, so he is just waiting to hear back from him. That was during the time it was really cold. Hopefully there will be more information at the next committee meeting. Fete des Lacs 2009 Centerville Lake 8K Run/Walk Neither Committee Member Branch nor Committee Member Lee were able to attend the meeting so the discussion on the 8K Run/Walk was relatively short, focusing on the design for the T-Shirts and water bottles that Vice-Chairperson Amundsen has been working on with Committee Member Lee. The committee was supplied with a copy of the letter sent out to all businesses in the area describing the 8K Run/Walk and what types of opportunities the committee has for sponsorship and advertising. The committee questioned whether fliers can be printed and folded at City Hall at perhaps 1,000 – 1,500 copies.
