AD.JOURNMENT MEMO TO: Parks and Recreation Committee Members FROM: Kim Stephan SUBJECT: Music in the Park DATE: March 26, 2009 Correspondence from Kathi LaValle, Brady's Big Band Hi Kim! I was speaking with Mark Haiden (we work together at Trane) and he explained that the pricing you received for the Big Band from Jill, our vocalist and Marketing head, was a bit high. While we often get higher fees for some of the bigger park events or parties, we offer a reduced rate to City park events and Senior Center picnics as a community service, and in particular our very own Centerville neighbors who often pull up in their boats when we practice out on our deck. I want to be sure that you know that Dean and I live on Centerville Lake after growing up there and then purchasing our parents homes on Lavalle Drive. We have a band room and lakeside deck where the 16 piece big band rehearses. Dean is the Sound and Stage Manager, and I play saxophone, along with being the BBB Manager. The members are all from the local area. To play in our own backyard (Centerville!) would be an honor and we would play for any amount that you have in your budget. Please consider us for a rate of$300, but know that we would accept any offer less than that as well, that you would extend. Could you please pass this on to the Park & Rec committee before their next meeting? Additionally, on April 5 we are playing at the Hugo American Legion from 3 until 6. This is a free event for our friends and family to celebrate the release of our new CD. This is open to the public, including all of our Centerville friends, so anyone wishing to hear us, or the Jill and the Jacks, the BBB small combo, should stop in and enjoy the music and some appetizers from Donatellis. Correspondence from Frcd Bailey, Banjo Bandits: Kim - I talked to you yesterday on the phone. As I mentioned, I play with a group called the Banjo Bandits. We play Dixieland and 30's-40's stuff (plus some contemporary if requested) that goes over really great with audiences in Summer Park Concerts. We play regularly at parks, clubs and other venues throughout the TC area. (For example, we are playing Roseville CP in June.) We could do a I to 1.5 hour, 6 musician show in Centerville this Summer for $150. We would have to negotiate the date to fit yours/our schedule. Hope you find this attractive and let me know if you need more info. Look forward to hearing from you.

Motion was made by Vice-Chairperson Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Haiden to set the agenda with the above addition. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. III. APPEARANCES Centerville Lions / Fetc des Lacs 8K Run Mr. Greg Keisclhorst made an appearance to discuss coordinating efforts between the Parks & Recreation Committee and the Centerville Lions for Fete des Lacs. Finding an adequate number of volunteers is a challenge, there are always plenty of spots open. Recruiting volunteers was discussed. Chairperson Seeley asked if what is needed for volunteers is clearly defined. Mr. Keiselhorst said it Iof3 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 03-18-09 was and he would get the information to the committee. Satellites were discussed and whether there was a need to move them for the race. The committee felt that would not be necessary with facilities available at both Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park and the Anoka County Regional Park. Council Member Lee said in looking at the race route, he thought 15-20 volunteers would be needed just to be on the route at any point someone could take a wrong turn. Chairperson Seeley asked whether it would be possible to move volunteers from the start of the race else where as all the racers passed. Council Member Lee thought it would be possible to overlap some traffic control parade volunteers with traffic control volunteers for the race. The application still needs to be sent to the county with the route, fee and insurance. Having the Lion's concession stand open for the race was discussed and Mr. Keiselhorst thought that was a good possibility. Chairperson Seeley asked Mr. Keiselhorst ifhe would keep the committee updated on a monthly basis. Mr. Chris Lonl!, Bonestroo Enl!ineer, Trail Proiect Discussion Mr. Chris Long from Bonestroo attended the meeting to review trail options. The committee looked at the trail segments through Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park connecting to the trail coming from the Chain of Lakes Regional Park and to the sidewalk on Centerville Road in front of Chauncey Barett Gardens and made recommendations. The committee discussed the connecting trail from Brian Drive/Eagle Trail to behind City Hall and did not feel the expense of a bridge was warranted and the money could be better spent in another area of the project. They would like to see the sidewalk currently on Brian Drive simply continued to County Road 14. Chairperson Seeley requested that on the next version of the trail proposal it be made clear which trails are 8' and which are 10'. Mr. GeolT Martin, Bonestroo was in attendance to discuss the elements of the trail side park. Committee Member Haiden and Committee Member Selander had reviewed the options as supplied to the committee in the packet and made recommendations via Project Requirement Forms which will be attached to these minutes. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen said he was concerned about the driveway, 2 telephone poles, fire hydrant, as well as utilities, which will have to be moved. The committee had a lengthy discussion regarding park concept plans. Mr. Martin said he would come back to the next meeting with information regarding moving the driveway and utilities, revised park concept plans incorporating the committee's ideas and costs associated with each. IV. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES March 4, 2009 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Chairperson Seeley requested correcting the spelling of Mr. Martin's first name from JelT to GeolT.

DRAFT- -DRAFT- - DRAFT- -DRAFT- - DRAFT- -DRAFT- - DRAFT- -DRAFT-- The City Council of Centerville, met in Special Session with members of the Parks and Recreation Committee on Tuesday, March 24, 2009, at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall. Present were Mayor Mary Capra, Council Members, Ben Fehrenbacher, Jeff Paar and Tom Lee. Absent was Council Member Linda Broussard Vickers. Members present from Parks and Rec. Committee were Suzanne Seeley, Kevin Amundsen, and Mark Haiden. Also present were City Engineer Mark Statz, Public Works Director Paul Palzer and Administrator Dallas Larson. Motion by Council Member Lee and seconded by Council Member Paar to approve the al!enda as presented. All in favor. motion passed unanimously. I) Parks and Recreation Committee's recommendations for Trail Grant Project. Engineer Mark Statz reviewed the project as currently proposed including a cost estimate indicating construction costs for the project of$I,258,283. The grant project amount for construction is $942,000, comprised of Enhancement Grant of $706,500 with a local match of $235,500. Local costs will also include engineering, soil borings, surveying, appraisals, and easement acquisition, all totaling around $275,000-$300,000. Staff will be applying for a Federal stimulus grant for the trail project, which may include paying for the local construction match. Parks and Rec. members recommended that the trail segment behind city hall be abandoned and moved ovcr to the west side of Brian Drive. That would save around $140,000 by not having to construct a bridge and would reduce the easement costs by about $20,000. The consensus of the Council was to make that change, providing MNDOT will concur with the change. Parks and Rec. member Kevin Amundsen reviewed the plans for a trailside park. Mark Statz reviewed a budget estimate for the trailside park. It wa~ noted that the plan would require moving the driveway to the Burke property in order to provide room for the park features. The list of items in the park were reviewed with consensus to remove several items in order to reduce the cost. The reductions leave a budget estimate of $ I 15,000 for the park. Council reviewed a segment of sidewalk on Centerville Road between Heritage and Sorel. Construction of this segment means removing a very large Cottonwood tree from the right of way. The consensus was that the tree would need to be removed, noting that it would eventually need to be removed to reconstruct the street anyway. 2) Consider Approving a Revised Bid Date for a Portion of the 2009 Street Project. Staff reported that it was necessary to change the bid date for the remaining portion of the 2009 Street project in order to make it eligible for Public Facility Authority grant funds. The Federal stimulus funds granted through the PFA require Davis-Bacon wage requirements as well as "Disadvantaged Businesses" requirements that were not initially DRAFT- -DRAFT- - DRAFT- -DRAFT- - DRAFT- -DRAFT- - DRAFT- -DRAFT-- included in the specifications. An addendum was sent to bidders specifying the additional requirements to be bid as an alternate, but in order to allow time for bidders to meet the additional requirements, it was necessary to extend the bid date to April 14. Motion bv Council Member Paar and seconded bv Council Member Lee that the Council approve a revised bid date of April 14. 2009. at 10:00 a.m. for the remainine: 2009 Street Proiect work. All in favor. motion passed unanimouslv. Motion bv Council Member Lee and seconded bv Council Member Fehrenbacher that the Special Medine: of March 24. 2009 be adiourned.

The sun is a direct source of energy, Using renewable energy technologies, we can convert that solar energy into electricity. Solar powered lighting is a relatively simple concept. In a basic way. the system operates like a bank account. Withdrawals from the battery to power the light source must be compensated by deposits of energy from the solar panels. As long as the system is designed so that deposits exceed withdrawals on an average daily basis. the battery remains charged and light source is reliably powered. . The sun provides a direct source of energy to the solar panel. . The battery is recharged during the day by direct~current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panel. . The battery powers the light source each night. . Electronic controls are used between the battery, light source and solar panels to protect the battery from overcharge and discharge. and to control the timing and operation of the light. How Does Solar Power Work? In principal, it is simple. A solar panel convertS light to electricity. During the day, even on cloudy days. the "solar generator" (solar panel) charges long-life batteries, which store the energy until needed. Thus, the sun's energy is harnessed to produce power. In practice. of course, solar outdoor lighting is a little more complex. In addition to large capacity batteries and solar panels. the system also incorporates sophisticated proprietary charge regulators. which stop the flow of solar generated electricity when the batteries are fully charged, and then resume charging when more power is needed. The key to solar outdoor lighting is the solar power pack, which houses photovoltaic solar panels, a proprietary microprocessor control system and batteries. It attaches specifically designed lights that have super reflectivity and high-energy ballasts. How Dependable is Solar Powered Lighting! Very dependable. For one thing. it is never too cloudy to collect solar energy. In fact. if there is enough sunlight to see reasonably well. then there is enough to collect and store energy - even if it is raining. The Sol system is typically designed with enough energy to operate five or more consecutive days without sun. What's more. solar powered outdoor lighting is virtually maintenance free. since the batteries require no water or other regular service. Unlike some systems that are assembled from "off the shelf' parts not designed for solar service. Sol systems are assembled from components specifically designed for solar. The solar panel itself is backed by a 20 to 25 year warranty - the strongest in the industry - and our new LEOs will last at least 100,000 hours (or 22.5 years). What Advantages Does Solar Power Have? Sol systems provide unmatched convenience, reliability and efficiency. Each Sol light has its own "power plant" - so you don't depend on far away generating stations. transmission lines, substations. switches and transformers. Since each solar electric light operates autonomously, every light is programmed through its own control system, to turn on and off as needed. Moreover. in the unlikely event that an individual solar outdoor light fails, no other lights are affected. Solar systems outperform traditional wired systems hands-down. In a solar installation. initial costs are incurred for the self-contained energy collection and storage system. However, after that. the energy itself is free! When compared to the traditional system's cost for cable. trenching. metering equipment and construction - plus electric bills continuing forever - the solar system's advantages can be dramatic and immediate.

This process is called "sizing" a solar system. Only after a system has been correctly "sized" can the specifics of the system and price be determined. 6 You Determine: . Geographic Location ../ Different geographic locations have different solar insolation which determines the size of the required solar panels . The Application ../ Different applications need different amounts of light . Light level Requirement (if any): ../ Different light level requirements may be required by city or county codes and will depend upon the pedestrian or vehicle usage of the project. . Run Time (Duration of the load) ../ Number of hours you need the lights to be on each night. Examples: Dusk to Dawn. 12 hours. 6 hours. or one of our split time controllers (6/2 or 412 - 6 or 4 hours after dusk & 2 hours before dawn). etc. We Determine: . Sun Hours based on your location ../ Different geographic locations have different solar insolation (sun hour factor) which will determine the size of the solar panel(s) needed. . The Light Output ../ Based on the amount of light you need for your particular application or specific footcandle requirement on the ground . The Size of the Required Solar Panels ,/ Solar panels typically come in a variety of sizes. We always calculate a reserve and round up to the next higher panel size. . The Model - Flat Solar Panel Array or Tilted Solar Panel Array ,/ Based on your particular parameters. we can recommend which system will be more cost effective. . The Size and Number of Batteries ,/ Our systems are typically sized with 5 days battery back-up. ../ Our Power Management feature monitors battery voltage and adjusts accordingly (LED models only) ./ Additional battery back-up can be added if needed. . The most suitable Fixture style ,/ Cobrahead or Shoebox -- Drop lens or CUt off lens are available. . Optimal mounting height. pole spacing and placement. to match your specified light requirements. Performance of Solar Lighting Systems The performance of solar lighting systems measure in foot-candles or lux on the ground. These are influenced by: . Type of light source . Reflector . Refractor or Lens . Pole Height . Spacing of Poles 7 How to Scrutinize Projects for Viability . Common Sense. Avoid Shaded Areas Solar panels need the sun. In heavily shaded areas, solar arrays can be mounted remotely to gain access to sun. Be sure there is a clear southern sun exposure (live north of equator) or clear northern sun exposure (live south of the equator). . Check any lighting level requirements . Evaluate Required Operation Time(s) The longer a light needs to stay on, the larger the system. and subsequently the more expensive it is. . Determine Reliability/Security Issues If security lighting is critical, our full dusk to dawn calculates your longest night in December (northern hemisphere) or June (southern hemisphere).

Each individual LED consists of a semiconductor diode that emits light when a voltage is applied to it. Unlike incandescent or fluorescent lamps. which create light with filaments and gases encased in a glass bulb. an LED is a semiconductor device. which emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. Advantages: . Durability and long life - LEDS in lighting fixtures can provide over 100.000 hours in solar applications. In comparison. an incandescent light bulb lasts approximately 1.000 hours. . Energy and maintenance savings - can be powered by a solar array and require little maintenance because of their long life. . Better quality of light - provide more than twice the luminous efficacy (lumens per watt) of incandescent lighting. . Safer - LED systems are low voltage and are generally cool to the touch (energy is delivered in the visible spectrum). . Smaller flexible light fixtures - resistant to vibration and shock and because of their size LEDS are useful for lighting small spaces. . Durable - LEDS have no filament to break and can withstand vibrations. . Environmentally friendly - LEDS do not contain mercury unlike florescent and mercury vapor lighting. which is considered hazardous to the environment. Not all LEOS are the same LEDS come in many form factors. These affect their operation. Q /Q.~ .. :'~i Small Group Large Bubble LEOs Structure Bubble LEOs ~ ~ LEOs promise to transform the way we light the world That promise is found in LED's ability to save energy. reduce maintenance costs. and change the way we look at our entire lighting infrastructure. LED system performance depends not only on the performance of individual components. but also on how they interact. Poor integration can lead to premature failure of LED-based lighting systems. Sol LED systems optimize integrated system performance. which means our LED systems will live up to their promise of long life. energy savings and reduced maintenance. Sol is at the forefront of the LED revolution for street lighting Using our extensive experience in solar lighting. our engineers have developed a family of LED products. which are specifically designed to capture the power and efficiency of this advanced solid-state technology. Delivering Performance and Dependability The unique characteristics of LED performance have been addressed with specific heat dissipation features. Because LEDS last longer. the labor and expense of multiple lamp changes is reduced. Maintenance costs are lower and this provides reduced total cost of ownership. 10 LEOS are solid-state devices which contain no mercury and last five times longer than metal halides - helping to reduce environmental waste. Lumens per watt has long been the standard for measuring the efficiency of lighting fixtures. Sol's latest Quad Series delivers the most lumens per watt of any LED configuration. Since 1990, Sol has had a solid reputation of providing reliable solar lighting products. Our engineers are experts at maximizing light output. What makes LEOs so great? LED lighting is increasingly used in a variety of lighting applications because it offers many benefits, including: . Long Life . Highly Efficient . Energy Savings . No warm up time . Better quality of light output . No hazardous disposal - unlike CF, CCFL, LPS and HPS which contain mercury . Intrinsically safe . Durable LED lighting systems have already proved to be very effective in indicator applications where brightness, visibility, and long-life are important. Outdoor lighting applications such as street lighting, parking lot lighting, and security lighting can benefit as well. What is the life of an LED? LEOS generally do not fail by burning out but slowly reduce light output over time. As solid-state devices, they will continue to operate even after 100,000 hours (solar applications). Comparisons of lumen maintenance near the end of the rated life for traditional light sources (I.e., incandescent. fluorescent, HID) have shown that with the exception of metal halide lamps, these traditional light sources usually have at least 80% of their initial light output by the time they have operated 10,000 hours. Furthermore, when light level reductions occur over time, people tend not to notice them until the light level reaches 80% of the initial output. This is the basis for "useful life" for lighting sources. What is an LED lighting system? As with other light source technologies, such as fluorescent, CCFL and HID, lighting systems using LEOS can be thought of as having a light source (typically the combination of LEOS that form the light source itself), a ballast (for LEOS it is often called a driver), and a luminaire (the fixture). LEOS require a specific electrical polarity. Applying voltage in reverse polarity can destroy them. A slight change in voltage can result in very large changes in current. Since the light output of an LED is proportional to its current, LEOS can be driven at various light outputs. If the resulting current exceeds limits recommended by the specific LED manufacturer, the long term performance of the LED can be affected resulting in shorter useful life. This means that many LEOS can produce a high light output, but have a very short life. An LED driver performs a function similar to a ballast for discharge lamps. It controls the current flowing through the LED. Most LED drivers are designed to provide current to a specific device or array. It is very important that a driver be matched to the specific device. LED systems are rated in terms of luminous intensity in candelas (foot-candles) rather than light output in terms of lumens. Luminous intensity is a function of the angle from which an LED is seen, so this value should be considered carefully when used to characterize light output of a particular LED source. Two LEOS with the same luminous flux output can have very different peak luminous intensities, if they are designed to produce different beam angles. II LED lamps vs. Other Lamps Traditional lamps are radial light sources and are subject to fixture losses of 40 to 60 percent. When light exits a lamp, much of it is moving away from the target. As the light reflects off the insides of the fixture, much of it is lost and never makes it to the area that needs lighting. LEOS emit light only in one direction, in a focused cone. It may produce half as much initially but the amount of light that makes it to its intended area may be more than a traditional lamp with twice the initial lumen rating. A rating of 5000 lumens results in useful 'out of the fixture' rating around 2000 - 3000 lumens. Sol LED light sources are directed light sources and are rated by their out of fixture lumens, all of the fixture losses are all ready accounted for. LED lights used in Sol's solar applications have a I OO,OOO-hour life and have minimal lumen depreciation over the life of the lamp. This long life translates to reduced maintenance costs, greater reliability, and a brighter lamp. LEOs do not contain mercury, a disposal hazard. Sol LEOS will withstand shocks greater than 50- G. There is nothing fragile in an LED. LED lamps vs. Fluorescent (CFL) Solar lights in the past have used compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). The fluorescent tube contains a vapor that gives off ultraviolet light when ionized. The ultraviolet light makes particles that coat the inside of the tube, and these particles glow or fluoresce. The life of a CFL is only 8-10,000 hours or about 2.S years. In addition, the lumen output of a CFL will depreciate rapidly, making the lamp permanently dimmer over the life of the lamp. LEOS are the better choice, as it requires less maintenance and provides a long life. When a CFL starts to burn out, it creates dark spots, which reduces the area illuminated. CFL lamps contain mercury- a disposal hazard. LED lamps vs. High Pressure Sodium (HPS) IHPS lamps are more efficient than metal halide but are not a good choice when true color is critical. The light output is an orange-gold color. HPS lamps are also not very efficient at low wattages, unlike solar powered applications, which are more efficient. The life rating of HPS lamp is another consideration. The average life for an HPS is 25,000 hours, approximately one quarter of the life on an LED. When the HPS lamps fail, it fails completely, whereas LEOS only get dimmer. The I OO,OOO-hour life of a LED is the point where the lamp has lost 30% of its lumen maintenance. This long life translates to reduced maintenance costs, greater reliability, and a brighter lamp. Light color is measured using a color index (CRI) of I to I DO, with 100 representing sunlight. The IESNA guideline recommends a CRI of 50 or higher. LEOS produce a white light with an excellent CRI, which means you need less lumens to see color - how well you can see the color of a fleeing suspect's clothes or hair. 12 HPS has a CRI of 22; Sol LEOS have a CRI of 80. HPS uses mercury as a starting gas - a disposal hazard. LED lamps vs. Low Pressure Sodium (SOX) SOX lamps produce a great number of lumens per watt. however it is monochromatic light and provides no color rendering at all. it takes 4 times more of this light to see and feel secure than white light. The life of SOX is only 8-10.000 hours or about 2.5 years. SOX has a CRI of 0, Sol LEOS have a CRI of 80. SOX use mercury as a starting gas - a disposal hazard. LED lamps vs. Mercury Vapor These lamps consist of a quartz tube filled with pressurized mercury gas. light produces when an electrical current passes through the mercury vapor. like all such high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, a "ballast" is required to start and to operate the lamps at the correct voltage levels. The chief drawback of the Mercury Vapor lamp is low lumen maintenance. These lamps loose their brightness much faster than other discharge style lamps. LEOs have much longer life and a higher initial Lumen output. This lamp type is not used much because there are many other lamp choices that outperform mercury vapor. Mercury Vapor uses mercury as a starting gas - a disposal hazard. LED Lamps vs. Metal Halide They produce light when an electric current flows through the gas within the lamp envelope. They are about twice as efficient as mercury vapor lamps. They have better lumen maintenance but are not very efficient. like other discharge lamps, this style is not efficient at low wattages, unlike solar powered applications, which are more efficient. The life of a Metal Halide is only 8-10,000 hours or about 2.5 years. Metal Halide uses mercury as a starting gas - a disposal hazard.

Sol's PMD80 provides this constant current to the LEDs and safeguards against lamp failure due to spikes in power source and shorts. Sol's intelligent lighting system measures battery levels at the start of every night to optimize LED performance. In periods of extended bad weather, the light will dim to limit possible low voltage disconnect. System limits the discharge to 70% of usable total- this prolongs battery life. Rates of charge set not to exceed best rate for life of battery. Sol's intelligent light driver also provides dimming features that in times of prolonged inclement weather will reduce the power to the lights to save the battery and extend the working time of the light without any noticeable difference in the output. 14 .

MEMO TO: Parks and Recreation Committee Members FROM: Kim Stephan SUBJECT: Xcelerator Retro-Fit Kit DA TE: March 26, 2009 Correspondence regarding the Xcelerator Retro-Fit Kit (Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Play Structure): From Mr. Palzer to Mr. Harlan Lehman, Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc. The Parks and Recreation CommiUee is requesting more detailed information on the recall of the Xcelerator play equipment that was installed at LaMoue Park in 2007. It appears that the manufacturer will be replacing the swirling part of the play equipment with a mono pole. Will the manufacturer reimburse the city for the cost of the play piece? It appears the original moving piece was not designed properly and hence is being eliminated making that portion of the play structure unusable as intended, advertised and sold. Please let me know prior to the work commencing at the park. Response from Mr. Don King, GameTime: As described and illustrated in the accompanying documents, GameTime seek.5 to replace your existing Xcelerator carriage assembly and supports with a design that is intended to be used by one child without the aid of other children spinning the user. We believe the rotating function of the new design is essentially the same as was intended with the original Xcelerator, but the Retro-Fit Kit discourages misuse or use in an unintended manner.

Ref. 6118006 February 18, 2009 CIlY OF CENTERVILLE 641 JACOB LANE CENTERVILLE, MN 55038 PROJECT: LAMOTT PARK IMPORTANT NOTICE And WARNING Please immediately direct this notice to the person responsible for supervising the use and maintenance of your playground equipment. Our records show that you purchased a GameTime GT Xcelerator before February, 2008. We recently learned of an accidental injury that occurred on this type of product. The specific facts and the exact manner in which this incident occurred have yet to be determined, but it appears an older child struck her head on the support pole. We continue to investigate the circumstances of the incident regarding this equipment but want to make you aware of the incident and suggest some safety precautions. While misuse of the product or use in an unintended manner may have been contributing factors in this incident, we wish to modify your existing Xcelerator by replacing the carriage assembly and supports as shown in the accompanying illustration. We are providing this replacement part to reduce the likelihood of a similar occurrence even if misuse of the product is involved. To encourage timely modification of your Xcelerator, we will arrange for a GameTime Certified Installer to complete the necessary work at no cost to you. The new parts will ship within five weeks. The enclosed illustrations depict what you currently have, the product that we are sending, and how the modification will be accomplished. Important Notice And Warning Page 2 February 18, 2009 On the enclosed Xcelerator Modification Confirmation form, please confirm or provide the appropriate installation address, verify our records are correct, or change them as necessary. Fax or mail your Confirmation to the location shown on the bottom of the form. In the meantime, we recommend you take your Xcelerator out of service by safely isolating access to and use of it, rather than trying to disable it. Do not return it to service until the change is made and then do not allow multiple users to simultaneously use the product. This product is intended to be used by one child, without the aid of other children spinning the user. The GameTime Gf Xcelerator is a safe and fully compliant product. This event causes us to make this precautionary recommendation as an additional level of safety. Failure to respond to this notice and warning may result in serious injury. GameTime will continue to maintain a beyond compliance position with our products. Should you have any questions, please contact Don King at 256/997-5255 or e-mail dkinq(Cilqametime.com.

Volunteer information from Committee Member Branch: I) I am in the process of getting event sponsors. I have made several contacts and have some of the needed sponsors. We will break the event up in to segments and asked individual companies to sponsor each of the segments. We arc also using this as an event to promote the many small business in or near Centerville. For the smaller business we are offering them the opportunity to place advertising material in the race goodie bags. I had planned to charge them $75 for that service. 2) We have a sponsor for the registration pick-up and race day registration. I promised her that we would assist with volunteers. There would not be much to do until the week prior to the race. This job will gather the materials for the goodie bags, stuff the goodie bags, then give the goodie bags and the race numbers to the individuals the day before the race and the morning of the race. We will also be running race day registration, which will be to take their registration form and assign a race number. 3) There will be a sponsor for the pre/post race food items, for the water stop, and for the finish line. I will want a strong volunteer to help oversee those functions and to be sure the vendor has the need supplies and is doing ok on race day 4) We will need several volunteers for race course marshals. The marshals will be at all intersections where there is a safety issue, or a runner could get oft~course, and at each of the mile markers. The volunteers at the mile markers will have radio communications with the race starter. There job is to call out accurate times to the runners or walkers as they pass. I will be looking for a key volunteer to organize and supervise the race marshals. Attached to this memo is a race entry form. This form is also on the web site and available at City Hall.

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 games only. This request is for Monday - Friday from 4 p.m. to dusk, April 28 through June 30, 2007. The Centennial Soccer Club will set up goals and manage a reservation system to assign teams to specific dates and times for games. 2. Requesting one field, 70 x 60 yard open space, located south of tbe skate park, for the UII - UI2 age group, for practice only. This request is for Monday - Friday 3:00 p.m. to dusk, Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to dusk, April I through October 29,2007. The Centennial Soccer Club will set up goals and manage a reservation system to assign teams to specific dates and times 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 arc committed to the Centennial Soccer Club every day of the week from April through October. The committec's concern with this was that the football association has not asked for time or fields and the Soccer 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 membcrs felt the fields should have some time Icft open for the public's use for such activities as softball. frisbee and football. Overall. the committee felt a compromise would be to reduce the days in request #2. Motion was made by Vice-Chairperson Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Selander to recommend to Cit). Council approving the Centennial Soccer Club's request for dedicated use of the soccer fields at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park as stated above in request #1, but recommend amending the request in request #2 to the following days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with the hours as requested. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. ~.t Cf. CENTER EXISTING Rill , } :1 -i,,..,~b x \~, ) I NPO " .~ ~-': n , _.1 ~,~I~ r ~ I I~~!' -, : I "--,^,-, l SH ~ISH "'"""-.

Main Park 1. The potential bike trail illustrated on the west side of the park should be removed. 2. A drinking fountain should be included on the east side of the pergola. 3. The preferred site plan is Concept B with the circular plaza around the fountain. The main east to west walk will be moved further north so users will be directed to the north side of the Pergola. 4. Low maintenance landscape treatments were suggested for the west side. Suggestions also included the use of more Rowers and eliminate grass areas. This last suggestion confiicts with the initial objective of creating a space for large community gatherings. 5. The preferred fountain is the dish and sculpture version illustrated in Concept B. Suggested refinements include: a) include the phrase "May Prevail on Earth" in four languages around the perimeter, b) facilitate the inclusion of a holiday tree...this may conmct with the inclusion of a central sculpture, c) incorporate an elevated edge to minimize the amount of storm water, grit and debris from entering the fountain. d) design the dish with a central foundation to incorporate a scuipture at a later date. 6. The preferred kiosk is Concept A. The kiosk should incorporate a display board with a plexiglass or lexan covering to facilitate a simple method for changing graphics. The kiosk should be placed so that it is illuminated by a neighboring streetlight. 7. The preferred pergola is Concept B. The slats should be spaced and designed to cast shade. 8. The Parks Commission would like to see more examples of benches similar to Concepts B & C. with curvilinear arm rests.

Waste receptacles should be consistent in character and color as the selected benches. 10. Concept B is the preferred drinking fountain. 11. Questions to investigate include: a. What is the process and costs for changing the alignments of the driveways within the R.O.w. to create more space for the park? b. What is the cost for moving utilities on the west side of the park? Lake Side Park (North Park) 1. Incorporate Cedars into the landscape buffer along the south property line. 2. Match the color of the concrete used in the streetscape for the bench pad. 3. Benches must be placed 3 feet away from the edge of the trail.
