Capital Improvement Plan:
New master park plan - can we put it online?
Existing park equipment in storage for Northland Park-we need to get the playground
equipment installed. There was discussion as to whether we should put it in Northland Parkas
planned or put it in to improve Centennial Park. It was decided to install it in Northland Park as
originally promised.
Centennial Park -Ehlert and Berghorst will put together a formal request for the'/: cent sales
tax committee requesting $30,000 for playground equipment and improvement. We feel the
park has regional significance due to the number of people renting and using the facilities.
Symanietz will report next month with prices on fill material.
Millstream Park:
We received a quote to dredge the pond at Millstream Park. It was $12,000. The project has
been put on hold.
Liaison and Staff notes:
Do we need to meet every month? To help keep cost down, Terry Thene will continue to be
our staff liaison and Lori Bartlett will attend only for budgeting purposes. It was decided we
would meet again in February, but every other month or as needed after that.
Motion to adjourn -Abbott, Berghorst seconded - 8:45 p.m.
