Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied that the Park Commission could make that request to the <br />Council. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook stated that he thinks the play equipment is a great start for the park and also <br />leaves plenty of room to add phases in the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe suggested holding a workshop after the first of the year to discuss the <br />sequences of events needed to complete the project. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Commission was to schedule a workshop after the first of the year. <br /> <br />Commissioner Droegemueller suggested making a presentation to the PTA, RYAA, and Ramsey <br />Lions for volunteers. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos recommended that the workshop be scheduled for February to <br />allow time to recruit volunteers for a late April installation. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Commission was to schedule the workshop in February. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Droegemueller, seconded by Commissioner Johns, to recommend that <br />City Council declare Central Park's play equipment surplus property and authorize purchase of <br />the $51,000 play structure. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Commissioner Rolfe inquired how the old equipment would be sold. <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained that if Council adopts a resolution the equipment will <br />be declared surplus and then it will be advertised with a deadline for proposals. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chair Cook, Commissioners Droegemueller, Johns, Asfahl, <br />LaMere, and Rolfe. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #2: Review Lawful Gambling Fund Improvement Program <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that each year, at about this time, the Commission reviews <br />its Lawful Gambling Fund Improvement Program to see if changes are needed. This review is <br />also an opportunity to designate a priority for the program. The 1999 priority was the <br />community built play structure for Central Park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe suggested holding the funds for the following year or incorporate the funds <br />into this years project since no requests have been made. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook agreed with holding the funds, but wait to see if anyone applies for the funds <br />and if not use the money to install one "pit" toilet. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that he would advertise the program to see if any requests <br />are received. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/December 9, 1999 <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
