Mayor Gamec stated that he thought funds for the expansion of Central Park were going to be set <br />aside as part of this year's budget. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated he talked to the property owner who is watching the <br />Comprehensive Plan closely. He would prefer to see the land as park land and the Park <br />Commission would be very supportive of setting funds aside. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if there would be a separate well for the irrigation or will municipal water <br />be used. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied that it would be more economical to use municipal water. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly inquired if the horseshoe pits get used. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that the volleyball and horseshoe pits are not a large cost <br />and were the result of a survey completed by the residents. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen inquired if the proposed park by Orrin Thompson homes borders <br />Solstice Park. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied yes. <br /> <br />Councihnember Hendriksen stated that he believes it would not be prudent to do irrigation on the <br />park when there is a proposal to expand the park. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied that most of the park improvements are a step by step <br />process and he would not have a concern with tabling the action on Solstice Park until they know <br />the direction of the Katnis property. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen questioned if there are any plans to improve the entrance to Central <br />Park. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied not currently. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that since Central Park is one of the City's premier parks, <br />there should be some money spent to make the entrance reflect that. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec suggested cleaning up the area on an interim basis and to come up with a design <br />for the area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested that staff bring a proposal back to the Committee. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/July 25, 2000 <br /> Page 7 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
