Staff: Keller reported about an outdoor recreation grant opportunity that we could apply for either East Park or
the Skate Park. It is a 50% city match grant for trails, canoe access, parking, etc. Grant is due March 31, 2022.
We will talk to the Financial Director to see if the money could be there in 2023 instead of 2025. Board decision
was to try for the grant for East Park. Keller also reported on the Community Center Open House and survey.
About 30-40 people were at the open house. A couple hundred have done the online survey so far. That survey
is open for another week.
Wensman showed a plan for the restrooms. Two rooms with a mechanical room in between. The board
approved the restroom plan, but the plan has it connected to the existing shelter. We will check to see if it
needs to be attached for any reason. Board would rather it was not attached based on opinions gathered at the
neighborhood meeting.
Old Business
