Mr. Bruce Jacobson discussed the East Town Center Park plans with the Commission and <br /> Council. <br /> Councilmember Cook asked how big the amphitheater will be. Mr. Bruce Jacobson stated it <br /> would be around forty feet across. <br /> Commissioner Shryock asked how hard it would be to maintain the small lawn areas. Mr. Olson <br /> stated they talked to various people and one of the suggestions made was if they went with <br /> concrete seats,they put a concrete ribbon under it so they could mow the area easier. <br /> Councilmember Kurak asked if there would be lighting in the area. Mr. Bruce Jacobson stated <br /> they are suggesting the combination trail be lit throughout the entire park and they may use <br /> specialty lighting for the amphitheater. <br /> Mr. Bruce Jacobson continued reviewing the park with the Commission and Council. <br /> The Commission recessed at 9:15 p.m. <br /> The Commission reconvened at 9:20 p.m. <br /> Case#4: C.I.P. Process <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton explained staff has always determined the C.I.P. projects. The C.I.P. is <br /> compiled in November then ratified by the Council. <br /> Commissioners have expressed an interest in participating in the C.I.P. process. Candidate <br /> projects identified by the Commissioners should be forwarded to Staff by the end of August so <br /> that they can be discussed at a meeting prior to assembly of the C.I.P. <br /> Mr. Olson stated the C.I.P. process helps them to look at the C.I.P. in all aspects. Chairperson <br /> Johns stated this is a nice tool for the Park Commission to have on hand. <br /> Commissioner Ostrum wondered if this would give them enough time. Mr. Olson stated ideally <br /> what they had planned to do next year; they are still going to do that next year. Chairperson <br /> Johns stated it is helpful for the Commission to know what things are coming up and what has <br /> moved around in the plan. <br /> COMMISSION/STAFF INPUT <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton explained on Rivenwick 4th, they approved the plan and some situations <br /> on the site where the builder did not want to take the entire site; they cut out the northeast corner <br /> so the total park dedication fees will be less and they are still moving ahead. Chairperson Johns <br /> asked with allocating the fifty percent to Town Center, will it leave them enough for the park <br /> improvements within the development. Civil Engineer II Linton stated it should. <br /> Park and Recreation Commission/June 10, 2004 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br />
