of June 2, 2008
Present: Duane Moe, Erik Dahl, Rebecca Andersen, Keith Rounds, Andrew Creer, June Eng,
Renae Kreutner
REPORTS:
• The cart path contractor has installed 2,000 lineal feet of 6 ft. sidewalk-bike path at
Moriarty Park. Due to wet conditions the contractor left and will be back later for the
golf course cart paths.
• The school district is planning a community build project for a playground installation
at Camelot Park adjacent to the new Camelot Intermediate School. The school district
has received a major gift of playground equipment designed to meet the needs of the
intermediate school age group. Parks and Recreation will re-build a tot-lot playground
in the northwest corner of Camelot Park, using suitable, renovated existing pieces
from Camelot, some from Central Elementary, plus a few more pieces. The re-build
and additional asphalt bike path to connect with existing will be addressed in the 2009
budget.
• Marc reported on registration, and the on-line process continues to facilitate the rest of
the registration.
• Weather conditions have hurt the pool attendance quite dramatically to date.
• Dave reported that summer ice will be started on June 26th, and Carlson Stewart
Refrigeration will be here prior to that for compressor equipment checkout.
• Forestry is continuing with stump removal and some routine pruning and trimming.
• Playground equipment installation is beginning at Moriarty Park.
Motion made by Rounds, seconded by Creer the agenda be adopted.
The proposed 2009 Capital Outlay budget proposal was reviewed and discussed in detail.
Staff recommends that priority be given to equipment needs in 2009. In addition, the budget
proposal includes a match of $250,000 city money towards the projected $625,000 cost of
completing the permanent seating, mezzanine and storage rooms at Larson Ice Center. The
balance would come from BISA fundraising efforts, and actual dressing room finishing would
be a BISA project at a later date. After review and discussion of each line item, motion was
made by Andersen, seconded by Rounds that the 2009 Capital Outlay budget proposal be
approved. Motion carried.
Respectfully submitted,
Allyn Frerichs, Recording Secretary
