August 11, 1987 Meeting Minutes
Present: Carol Pelton Cindy Paschke Gerald LeTendre
Walter Neumann, Council Liaison
The meeting was called to order at 7:28 P.M.
After review of the minutes, LeTendre made the motion to accept the
minutes, Pelton second, unanimously accepted. The P &Z and
Council minutes were reviewed, with some discussion on the changes
in the grading plan in Centerville Heights, and the bid on the tennis
courts.
Orville Hughes, Public Works Director, reported on a ball tournament
held by Waterworks in which no beer permit or damage deposit was taken
out. In this case, they were given the opportunity to purchase
the above permits, but in the future, the tournament will be closed
down.
LeTendre made a motion to recommend to the City Council that any
persons found to be noncompliant to ordinance #41 by holding a
tournament without a permit be fined $25, Paschke second, unanimously
accepted.
Orville Hughes also reported that lumber was purchased for the sandbox
in Royal Meadows Park. P &R will decide on the location of the sandbox
at the September P &R meeting. Dan Tourville will be dragging the
pea rock in the parking lot in Central Park, and will grade the fill
on the driveway in the Cedar Street Park. Walter Neumann informed
P &R that garbage cans were being overturned at the Royal Meadows
Park and suggested securing them to a cement slab.
The moving of the hockey rink to Central Park is on hold until LeTendre
attends the Lions meeting at the end of the month. LeTendre suggests
that P &R consider a temporary warming house due to the lack of funds
at this time.
TO RECOMMEND To wry COUNCI
LeTendre made a motionnto invest no additional monies in the tennis
courts at the present site due to the possible widening of Main Street,
and the existing base of the present court. Estimates on a brand new
tennis court in a new location, either another area on the school
property, or in one of the existing parks, was comparable to the
estimate to repair the old tennis court, Paschke second, unanimously
accepted.
A letter was drafted to the Hockey Association requesting their
assistance in helping to fund the moving of the hockey rink to Central
Park, either with volunteerism, or monies.
P &R inquires of the City Clerk as to whether the lights in the hockey
rink are the City's.

P &R inquires of the City Council who will pay for the additional cost
for the pump in Central Park that would be needed to pump the capacity
of water required by the Fire Dept.
P &R will decide at the September meeting how the hockey and pleasure
skating rink will be manned, whether by volunteers, or with an
attendant.
There was fulrther discussion on next year's budget, and Pelton was
appointed the budget hearing attendant.
LeTendre reported that contacts were still to be made regarding
the District #12 Program Supervisor.
All P &R members are asked to read ordinance #29 & 37 from the August
packet for the Sept. P &R meeting, make notations on how they apply to
P &R, and it will be discussed and recommended to the City Council
P &R's regulating ordinances for their review and approval.
The plat approval procedure was addressed on page two in the P &R's
July minutes.
Pelton distributed "Parks of Centerville ", and asked that it be read,
and that P &R would discuss /revise it at the Sept. meeting. The
P &R would then develop their master plan to present at the next joint
meeting.
P &R feels they need a preliminary grading plan available when looking
over a plat, to avoid the situation that arose in Center Oaks II and
Centerville Heights, where the proposed parks turned into proposed
drainage ponds.
Meeting adjourned at 10300 P.M. LeTendre made the motion, Paschke
second, unanimously accepted.
