Below, in no particular order are a few updates involving Parks and Recreation: Roseville Skating Center Construction Project The project includes the restroom modification/addition near the banquet rooms and the south entryway mod ificationladdition. The restroom project is well underway and is moving right along and scheduled to be completed by the mid May time frame and in time for a booked wedding. The south entryway improvement is expected to begin shortly with the target completion date set for the end of September. I will keep you posted. Geothermal Technology Consultant Interviews Consultant interviews for the geothermal technology at the Skating Center are being conducted this week. Five consultants submitted a proposal and all of them are being interviewed. It is anticipated that soon, possibly May 71h, staff will be having a discussion with the City Council. Interesting news from Rochester attached. Dale Street Athletic Field Fencing Project This is an approved Park Improvement Project (PIP) for 2007. It is a shared funding project where the North Suburban Youth Association has committed $50,000, the Roseville Central Park Foundation $5000 and the Roseville Area Youth Football Association another $13,000 for a total of $68,000. We are anticipating that the project could cost as much as $100,000 with the remaining amount budgeted in the 2007 PIP. If you recall the specifics of the project, it is to install fencing around both of the "multi purpose" athletic fields in Central Park off Dale Street. Staff is in the process of working with the affiliated group, the funding parties and Park and Recreation offerings to find the best time to do the project. It is anticipated that sometime this year you will be seeing the fences go up. Harriet Alexander Nature Center Planning Committee The Harriet Alexander Nature Center Planning Committee has its first meeting on Thursday April 26th at 6:30 p.m. The meetings are open to the public. The agenda, meeting notes, participants, and all the background information will be posted on the Parks and Recreation Harriet Alexander Nature Center web site.
