The Volleyball court has been moved, grass seed planted and a new net ordered.
Vl. Old Business:
A. Update on Community Ed. Summer Recreation:
The Twins camp has been moved to St. Cloud due to too few registrants. Better
communication for activities is hoped for next summer.
B. Update on Playground Plan for Millstream:
Terry spoke to the installation company today. The equipment will be installed before the
end of the month.
C. Moving Forward East Park:
Terry will email the Board an update on progress by SEH. The Board needs to decide the
phases in which the amenities will happen. Decisions about location of trails depend on
where those amenities are placed.
D. Other Old Business:
None
Vll. New Business:
A. Pickle Ball Options:
John measured the gym in Colt’s Academy (Community Center) and found it is large
enough for one Pickle Ball Court in each gym. He also looked at the Tennis Court. That
would accommodate as many as six courts. Asphalt cracks would need to be filled and
lines painted. Terry is going to check on the cost of screens.
B. Skate Park/BMX Bike Placement:
Discussion was held regarding where to place the equipment, cost involved to update
current Skateboard Equipment and whether there is a high demand for these activities. It
was also noted that this is not a part of the current CIP, and would cost a significant
amount of money. John made a motion to plan for the use of the existing Skateboard
Equipment for the spring of 2019, with a survey in the meantime to determine need. The
motion failed. This will be discussed again next month with thoughts about a survey and
how to read the population.
Vlll. Adjournment: 7:07
