OLD BUSINESS CIRCLE TERRACE PLAYGROUND Winson reported that after two weeks having the basketball hoop down it was put back up because of the many requests from both kids and the adults in the neighborhood. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK & RECRETION COMMISSION JUNE 23, 1993 PAGE THREE After researching the possibility of installing a fence at the edge of Mr. Harlan and Mr. Doelz property to designate it from park property, Winson stated that there was a liability problem with having the property owners install the fence. He stated that he had written a letter to the owners stating that the city would install the fence and charge 1/3 to each property owner with the city picking up 1/3 of the cost. He has not heard from them since the letter was sent. A discussion was held regarding the noise from basketball being played during late hours. It was requested by the Commission members to disconnect the photo cells from the lights and place signs at the parks showing that no basketball is to be played after 10:00 p.m. Winson said the parks requiring the signs would be Prestemon, Gauvitte, Huset west and LaBelle Park. NEW BUSINESS Don Jolly reported on the first Dutch Elm Inspection for this year. It was reported that there were only 15 diseased elms to be removed in June. He felt that July would show a great increase in the number of trees. It was reported that 2 grants had been submitted, however, 1 had been turned down because we did not have an energy saving plan. The second grant was resubmitted and was approved for tree planting grant under the Natural Resource Development program. BLACKBEARD OLYMPICS Mr. Danny Garda attended the meeting to explain the "Biackbeard Olympics". He stated that it was an obstacle course for the 11 - 16 year olds which included an egg toss, pig chase, watermelon eating contest, jousting competition, tug-o-war, and pit soccer. He stated that this was an activity that was used in California and worked very well. Holiom suggested that Mr. Garda work with the Directors on the feasibility of having such a program in the summer of 1994. CITY BUS Winson stated that Public Works had received a request (from Community Education) for the bus to take a group of kids to Silver Lake Beach each Wednesday. This was for information only. ANONYMOUS LETTER The anonymous letter referring to a fee waived event was presented to the Commission. The members felt that since the letter was not signed it should not have been on the agenda. If the individual either signs the letter or presents it to the Commission they will deal with it at that time. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION JUNE 23, 1993 PAGE FOUR PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDING A rough plan for the proposed pre-engineered building was presented to the members. Hollom suggested that Casey get a cost figure for the building and submit it in the '94 budget. REPORTS RECREATION Casey reported that $5,400 had been received towards the 4th of July fireworks. The cost of the fireworks was $5,000 and the band, City Knights, was $500. Thank you letter was sent to Michelle Murzyn on behalf of the Commission for the fine work on the Beautification Project. Facia will be replaced on the outside of Murzyn Hall. In 1992 a total of 54 kids enrolled in our summer playground program. This year the program was revamped and through the first session over 170 children have registered and more are anticipated. PARKS 14 seasonals are working this summer in the parks. Discussion on request from resident to use alternatives to weed spraying. Vandalism in excess of $400 has occurred at Keyes Park. COMMISSION Commission members felt that the acoustics were terrible in Keyes Park building and we not have any future meetings at that building.
