Members present were Ron Ceminsky, Sam Emond, Tom Reddinger, Bob Rykken, and Kathy Smith. Pat Heaney was absent. Staff members present included Paul Hokeness, Parks and Recreation Director, and Nancy McGill, Parks and Recreation Secretary. The minutes were reviewed from the June 12, 1995 meeting. TOM REDDINGER MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE JUNE 12,1995 MEETING. KATHY SMITH SECONDED MOTION. MOTION WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSL Y. Chairman, Ron Ceminsky asked for Staff Reports. Paul updated the committee on the status of the summer program activities that Bret had outlined in memo form. This included summer playground, tennis lessons, daycamp, theater camp adult trips, beach operations, dance program, and also highlighted upcoming fall activities. Paul then updated the committee on park projects, those already completed and those that are currently in progress according to Parks Supervisor, Al Friedges. Completed projects include blacktop/curbing at Sand Point Beach, shrubs/sod at Sand Point Beach, netting at Lakefront Park, play equipment installed at Brooksville Hills and North Shore Oaks, and platforms constructed under all scoreboards at the Ponds. Current projects include grading at Sunset, Sand Point Park, Fish Point Park and Carriage Hills for basketball courts. At this time, Paul informed the committee of his background in Parks and Recreation and previous positions he's held. There was some discussion on developing another community park and the Lakefront Park Master Plan. The committee members discussed funding options. The committee would like to see other youth groups, P.L.A.Y., Soccer Club, etc. get together with the PAC and discuss the needs of the community and present these needs to the City Council. Paul suggested that if a Bond Referendum is chosen as a funding means, that many areas of interest should be addressed throughout the community. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER The park matrix was reviewed. This matrix includes all current and proposed park areas and their amenities. Attached also were inventory sheets showing existing and proposed facilities and improvements. Sam Emond questioned the size of any newly proposed soccer fields; if they will be regulation size. Also, cost of larger fields versus smaller fields. There was some discussion regarding space availability. Paul indicated that a master plan is in the works for Lakefront Park and that might mean reshaping the park which could possibly include soccer field development. Paul touched on conducting a survey. He felt results were better from telephone surveys done by professionals instead of survey that citizens fill out and return. Tom Reddinger felt that this could be done by the committee; more personal approach rather than someone that doesn't live in community. He has done this in the past with other local organizations and, has had very good results. Discussion followed. Ron Ceminsky called for the Open Forum. At this time, Sam Emond submitted his letter of resignation from the Parks Advisory Committee effective September I, 1995. He and his wife will be relocating to Tyler, Texas. Bob Rykken questioned the size of Watzl's Beach; wondering if swimming area could be made larger. He felt there's not much room especially with boats parking there. There was some discussion that followed, and Paul said he'd have to look at the beach area again and talk to Bret and the lifeguards. Ron asked for Old Business. Tom Reddinger updated committee on the P .L.A. Y. storage building at the Ponds. Construction is scheduled to begin this week and should be finished in 4-5 weeks. The cost will be approximately $23,000-24,000. The City will take care of the electric and water costs and there should be very little maintenance because of the type of building. The next item of discussion was Grainwood Crossing. Paul indicated that he was just made aware of this project. The depatment is hoping to do some work yet this fall; however, plans drawn by the architects involved a fancy picnic shelter which he feels will have to be downscaled due to the limited amount of money we have to work with. The area will include a shelter, a toilet enclosure with portables, handicapped parking space, and a gravel path for now, which would be blacktopped in the future. PAC895.DOC PARKS ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES-AUGUST 14, 1995 2 - -~ Ron Ceminsky asked for New Business; terms and vacancies. At this time, with Sam Emond's resignation, we have two vacancies to fill. There was some discussion regarding term limits. Paul indicated that he would have to get an explanation on these terms for the current members. He also asked the members if they might know a neighbor or friend that might be interested in serving on the committee. Sam Emond requested a "Letter of Recommendation" that he could take with him. The next meeting is set for Monday, September II, 1995. SAM EMOND MADE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. KATHY SMITH SECONDED MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m. Paul Hokeness Parks and Recreation Director City of Prior Lake Nancy McGill Recording Secretary PAC895.DOC PARKS ADVISORY COMMITIEE MINUTES-AUGUST 14, 1995 3 ..1. ,_'....,1.. ...' ., I;~ ,. .
