AGENDA
1) Call
to Order.
2) Roll
Call: Pam Webb, Ted Wright, Cheryl Hunt, Trent Rogers. --
Present: Webb, Rogers & Wright. Absent: Hunt
(Note: the board is one member short following Ozug resignation)
3) Approval
of minutes from March 15, 2012 Special Meeting and April 17, 2012 Regular
Meeting. -- Approved (with correction for location
of proposed sand volleyball court in March 15th minutes).
4) Discussion
and possible action regarding play equipment at Charlie’s Park. --
Tabled (after discussion) with request to finish status/viability determination
of equipment removed from city park that had previously been designated
for Charlie's Park.
5) Discussion
and possible action regarding removal of shredded tire fall protection and
seek replacement with pour in fall protection. --
Approved. The park board recommends to the city commission that the shredded
material be removed from under the swings (near the splash pad) and a new
spongy/foam surface (similar to the adjacent play areas) be installed. Initial
estimate in range of $20 to $24K.
6) Discussion
and possible action on security cameras at Park. --
Tabled (after discussion), A preliminary estimate for 3 specific cameras
was provided with $11.5K cost estimate. These would record on-site and require
some climate control. Will explore options for transmitting cameras (with
anticipated higher cost) and existing school security camera system for
comparison.
7) Discussion
and possible action to update current Park Ordinances. -- The
park board requests a joint work session with the city commission on this
topic. The out-dated city ordinances relating to the operation of city parks
(& zoos & airports) as well as the park board mode of operation
needs review and potential updates. A simpler Sand Springs example was offered
for consideration but some valid park operation sections might be lost if
replaced in total. The park board as an advisory board only is a likely
outcome.
8) Park
status report. -- Phil Stowell reported on these topics:
* the damaged foot bridge (over the creek) has been removed. Staff exploring
cost/options for eventual replacement
* exploring options to repair holes in softball field fence
* several plants and trees need replacement
* exploring ability to move yearly splash pad opening date a bit earlier
(weather dependent, as well as staffing/tasks at cemetery dependent)
* mowing continues to be huge summer task, but inmate labor program (renewed
recently) has helped greatly. Also hope to task that labor force with creek
clearing as time permits ... with thousands of self sprouting trees before
they get much larger.
9) New
Business. -- none
10) Adjournment.
