Capital Improvement Plan-Centennial Park
The Board discussed changing the playground layout of the new equipment and border/fall area for Centennial Park. If we re-
arranged the layout of the equipment it might allow us to shrink the size of the border thus saving us money on border edging
and fill. Terry is going to look into the re-design and Marge is going to contact the equipment manufacturer for an updated plan.
Capital Improvement Plan - 2010
The Board made adjustments to the Park Board Capital Improvement plan as noted on the CIP data sheets.
Liaison and Staff Notes
Terry stated that City Staff needed to replace the roof on one of the pit toilets in Millstream by the campground area due to
vandalism. Staff has been busy getting Millstream Park ready for Watershed Education Day for area 4 graders. Terry also
mentioned that we had a homeless person living in the campground area of Millstream. Terry contacted the St. Joseph Police
Department who assisted getting the person into a local shelter for help.
Cory wanted to express his appreciation for the job Terry and his Staff has been doing maintaining the upkeep and appearance
of the City's park especially during the budget constraining times. The rest of the Board unanimously agreed.
Motion by Cory, that the Park Board should draft a letter of recognition and appreciation for the work Terry and his staff has
done this past year, and present it to the City Council. Seconded by Marge. Motion approved.
Renee mentioned that there have been discussions again about extending the Webegon trail from St. Joseph to the east due to
some possible federal funding. More on this come.
