Commissioner Ostrum thought a fort might be fun also. <br /> Chairperson Johns liked the idea of a meandering trail throughout the park with the play <br /> equipment spread out instead of a rectangular area with the play equipment enclosed. <br /> Case#2: Review Parks Projects in CIP <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton presented the Park CIP Projects to the Commission for review. <br /> Some of the park district fund balances are low because there has not been much development. <br /> The fund balances are from 4/20/04. Staff will bring the most current figures to the meeting. <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton showed photos of the parks and maps of projected projects in the City. <br /> He stated Elmcrest Park Construction was picked up this week. The contractor installed Class 5 <br /> and Concrete Curb and Gutter, which required substantial staff time. <br /> Chairperson Johns stated she was satisfied where they were going with 2005-2006 projects but <br /> she thought some of the numbers had changed. <br /> Civil Engineer II Linton stated he did not update the numbers, the number shown were what they <br /> projected a year ago. <br /> Chairperson Johns thought the CIP for the short time was fine. She would like to discuss years <br /> five to ten. She explained they used to have their own plan for projects and would like to get <br /> back to doing that each year. She wanted them to consider doing a Master Parks Plan and <br /> implementation of the Master Park Trail. She stated they should try to figure out where they <br /> have funding and how they can get projects done. She noted she has had a lot of comments from <br /> residents regarding storage and more restroom facilities in the parks. <br /> Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated on slow agendas they could discuss a certain park <br /> and what would fit in along with trails. He explained they could look at the existing inventory <br /> and identify what is not there at each park and what they would like to include in each park. <br /> Chairperson Johns stated she liked the idea of a step-by-step approach but would like to get <br /> started on a park plan. <br /> Commissioner Shryock thought they could look at this by park or by park district to see if they <br /> had everything they wanted in the area. She thought aerial views of the parks would be helpful <br /> when discussing them. <br /> Commissioner Lehman thought doing this by district would be helpful and allow residents to <br /> give their input about the parks in their district. <br /> Park and Recreation Commission/October 14,2004 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br />
