Mr. Jacobsen showed on the drawings where this would be in the parkway. <br />Chairperson Johns inquired if there will be permanent areas that will have water and what kind <br />of depth would be there. <br />Mr. Jacobsen stated the areas under the bridge would always have water in them. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson noted the depth would be six to ten feet and the ponds <br />will be lined. <br />Mr. Jacobsen stated they have landscapes that emulate more native growth of the area. He <br />explained they have the initial cost estimate but he has not had time to review it. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson updated the Commission on the issues brought up at <br />meetings. He explained that he would like to have the Joint Park & Recreation Commission and <br />City Council meeting for December 4th and this will also be the regular Park meeting for the <br />month and he will update the Commission on the cost breakdown. <br />Commissioner Shryock suggested in the meantime, they might only have a sliding hill at a park <br />and in time expand on that when they have more money. <br />Mr. Jacobson stated the direction he has been given is to develop the ideas of the Commission <br />into a plan and eventually expand upon them for the future. <br />Chairperson Johns thought Mr. Jacobson did a great job of incorporating their ideas into the plan. <br />Commissioner Shryock asked if Mr. Jacobsen would be coming back to the Commission with <br />hardscape design because the Commission has talked about the look they want. <br />Mr. Jacobsen stated what they are trying to get done by the middle of December is an agreement <br />on concept plans and budget for the capital campaign. <br />COMMISSION/STAFF INPUT <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained Parks/Utilities Supervisor Mark Riverblood is <br />extremely busy and will be removing himself from the Park Commission meetings and staff will <br />be at the meetings. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Olson explained regarding the Master Trail Plan, the <br />Commission has received some emails from LHB. <br />Chairperson Johns updated Assistant Public Works Director Olson on the situation with LHN <br />and explained she has kept in contact with them and they are supposed to be getting a chapter <br />and a half a month and they have not received one for the end of October and now they are <br />behind two chapters. She stated she would follow up with them regarding this. <br />Park and Recreation Commission/November 13, 2003 <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />
