1995-04-11 Parks and Rec Comm MinutesCITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINVTES APRIL 11, 1995 The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held on Tuesday, April 11, 1995, in the City Hall Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 o'clock P.M. The following members were present: Norton, Liberacki, Kleinglass, Damberg, Libra, Linnell and Spicer. Also present were Administrative Assistant Kevin Batchelder and Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander. Commissioner Ramberg moved to approve the March 14, 1995 minutes. Commissioner Linnell seconded the motion. AYESe 7 NAYS: 0 COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Ramberg stated that she would like the Parks and Recreation Commission to take a closer look at the issue of vandalism in the City parks. Commissioner Damberg stated that some people are afraid to be in Valley Park and that she is aware that there has been damage going on there as well as bonfires at night. Commissioner Damberg requested that the Chief of Police address how we are handling these incidences in our parks and what can be done about it. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN Chair Spicer stated that the Capital Improvements Plan should be reviewed and updated as the City heads into the 1996 Budget process. Spicer stated the Commission should begin discussions of the Capital Improvement Plan including reviewing the list of 1995 objectives and to consider capital needs over the long term through the year 1999. Chair Spicer stated that the largest item in the 1995 list of improvements was a tennis court at Hagstrom-King Park that had originally been hoped would be paid for with referendum funds. He stated now that the referendum funds are committed he inquired if the Commission would like to pay for this out of the Special Park Fund. Spicer stated that he has been with the Parks Commission for many years and that they have been very frugal with the Special Park Fund over these years. Spicer stated that it appears that the remaining 1994 items that need to be constructed and the list of 1995 items total to $60,000+ to be Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 2 spent out of the Special Park Fund. Spicer stated this is a significant amount that is larger than the annual interest earned by the Fund. Commissioner Liberacki inquired if it was the Parks and Recreation Commission's intent to try and keep annual spending out of the Special Park Fund at about the level of interest earned annually in that Fund. The Commission stated yes. The Commission discussed the priority of putting in the Hagstrom-King tennis courts. Commissioner Linnell stated that Sibley High School has recently built nine new tennis courts. Commissioner Liberacki stated his neighborhood has really expressed an interest for this tennis court. Liberacki stated that it is not his agenda to promote these tennis courts, but he feels it would certainly be a nice amenity for the neighborhood. Commissioner Linnell inquired if one court could be built or if it is necessary to build two courts. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated it would probably cost 60 percent to build one court as opposed to the price for building two courts. Kullander stated the site has already been graded for tennis. Commissioner Liberacki stated that from his brief look at the funding sources in Mendota Heights, the Special Park Fund has grown significantly in recent years with new neighborhood development. He stated that maybe it is time that the outflow of improvements needs to grow with the Fund. Chair Spicer stated the he would agree with this statement, however, the City has recently spent $3.4 million of referendum funds to improve the park system, so in his opinion, the improvements provided by referendum has corresponded with the growth of the City. Commissioner Libra inquired if the Acacia Cemetery, Acacia Boulevard area could be a possible ball field site. Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated that the City does own land in this area and that it could be looked at as a possible ball field site. Batchelder stated that the City Council had directed staff to continue exploring the possibility of additional ball fields at the Mendota Plaza with Paster Enterprises. Chair Spicer stated each Commissioner should take home the list of Capital Improvements from the 1995 CIP Plan and do their homework and come back at the May meeting with their list of priorities so that the Parks Commission can compare priorities and provide staff with direction for the 1996 Budget process. Spicer stated that it would be important for Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 3 each Commissioner to look at 1996 priorities, long term priorities, any changes in funding policies and any additional items that are not already on the list. IVY FALLS PARR OPEN HOUSE The Commission met with 25 residents of the Ivy Falls Park neighborhood for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Chair Spicer introduced the Commission, staff members and Mr. Jim Hagstrom of Savanna Designs. Administrative Assistant Batchelder provided a background on the Ivy Falls Creek project and described how the Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council had desired to restore the landscaping and beautify the pond area after construction. Batchelder stated the Commission had interviewed three landscape architectural landscape firms and had chosen Mr. Hagstrom of Savanna Designs based on their expertise with native grasses and wildflower plantings. He stated the Commission had preferred to go with a low maintenance, natural grass landscaping in this pond area because it was ecologically sound and would provide a high degree of beauty to this area. He stated the Commission has met with Mr. Hagstrom to set the parameters of the design and that Mr. Hagstrom is here tonight to present his landscape design plan. Mr. Hagstrom provided a twenty minute presentation including slides on the grass and plant species that he would be using in his landscape design. Mr. Hagstrom reviewed the specifics of the landscape plan with the audience. For the next hour there was a general discussion regarding the pond and its beautification. Many residents at the meeting expressed a concern about the safety of the steep slopes of the new berm, about the water quality in the pond, and about the increased capacity for storm water in this area. The Parks Commission attempted to focus on the beautification plan with the landscape design, however, the neighborhood expressed the opinion that their biggest concern is with the engineering aspects of the storm water pond and the water quality. The following comments were received during the meeting: • The walking path shown on top of the berm is a concern due to the steep slopes down to the pond. • During storm events this pond has a significant bounce in water level and there is a concern about how the pond is going to be kept clean. • Another resident expressed a safety concern with the steep embankments. Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 4 • There was a general concern about the level of trash in the pond. • The safety regarding children playing on the concrete structures was a concern. • A resident expressed that trees make shadows where people can hide, and that lilac bushes should be used instead in order to attract songbirds. • A resident expressed a concern about the steep berm. • A concern was expressed about the transition from the area labeled as "pine tree area" to the flat grass area owned by Ivy Falls Park Association. This resident felt this was too drastic of a transition and that the pine area should be left as it is in its current state so that it transitions with the grass area. • A resident stated that the City should not install any landscaping around the pond edge for the first year to see what happens with the pond during storm events. • A resident commented that a slope on the southeast side of the pond was slumping. • A resident made a request for Water Birch trees along the southwest corner of the pond. • A resident stated that the southwest corner of the park that faces the road is the most visible part of the park for people traveling on Maple Park Drive. This resident stated that this area should be targeted for beautification. Mr. Hagstrom addressed concerns about the bounce in the pond and stated that the wetland species and grass species that he is using for the edge of the pond are flood tolerant. Mr. Hagstrom stated that the southwest corner of the park that had been requested for additional beautification can include plugged wildflowers as opposed to seed. Mr. Hagstrom stated that when you use plugs, you get results right away in the first year from these wildflowers and they can be quite beautiful. The Parks Commission discussed specific details on the areas that are to include native grass and wildflower plantings with the neighborhood. The neighborhood was of a consensus that this plan is an appropriate plan for beautification of the park area, the neighborhood requested that another neighborhood meeting should be conducted with the engineering staff so that water quality and storm water issues can be addressed. Chair Spicer thanked the audience for their participation and informed them that a recommendation would be forwarded to City Council for their consideration on April 18th concerning this landscape design. Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 5 BRIDGEVIEW SHORES TRAIL NEIGHBORHOOD OPEN HOUSE Chair Spicer introduced the Commission and staff to the residents in attendance. In attendance were Garry and Barb Ruhlmann, Abu and Florence Islam and Mr. Norm Linnell. Administrative Assistant Batchelder provided a background to the Parks Commission on this issue and stated that City Council had requested that this matter be referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission to provide all interested neighbors an opportunity to have input. He stated that an item announcing this neighborhood open house had been published in the Southwest Review and the Sun Current and that letters had been sent to everybody in the Bridgeview Shores neighborhood. Parks Project Manager Kullander described the details of the trail project that includes a trail along the north side of Mendota Heights Road from Westview Terrace to Dodd Road. Kullander stated this trail had been included as part of a Task Force recommendation for a traffic signal light at the corner of Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road. Mr. Islam stated that he had appeared before the City Council to oppose the construction of this trail and that he desired this trail be eliminated from the traffic signal light project. Mr. Islam stated there would be a significant loss of privacy from within any room in his house. Mr. Islam stated that he had a home with all the rooms oriented to the rear of the house and that his house is parallel to Mendota Heights Road. Mr. Ruhlmann stated that in addition to privacy concerns for both his house and the Islam's house, he felt there is a safety issue. Mr. Ruhlmann explained that cars approaching Mendota Heights Road along Westview Terrace have a blind approach to traffic on Mendota Heights Road. Mr. Ruhlmann stated that to the east of Westview Terrace is a dip in the road and because of the curve of Mendota Heights Road it is difficult to see cars coming from the west along Mendota Heights Road. Mr. Ruhlmann stated that it is necessary for cars to creep out past the stop sign in order to see traffic coming down Mendota Heights Road. Mr. Ruhlmann stated he feels that a trail would dump pedestrian and bicycle traffic into the stop sign area where cars must creep forward and that this is a dangerous safety issue. The Parks Commission discussed the spacing of the Spruce trees that run along the rear property line of the Ruhlmann's and Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 6 the Islam°s. Kullander stated they are twenty feet on center. The Commission inquired exactly where the trail would be on the other side of these Spruce trees. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that the trail would be approximately four feet off the curb and entirely within the City's right-of-way. Commissioner Kleinglass stated he felt the trees would screen the trail from the homes. Commissioner Linnell stated that as these trees grow, they will provide more screening. In response to Mr. Ruhlmann°s stated safety issue, Chair Spicer stated it would be preferable to have pedestrians and bicycles crossing Westview Terrace than crossing Mendota Heights Road where there is much more traffic. The Commission discussed where people using the trail system would cross Mendota Heights Road and Dodd Road. Commissioner Linnell stated there might very well be a sight distance issue at the intersection of Westview Terrace and Dodd Road. Commissioner Linnell stated sight distance issues can be addressed. Commissioner Liberacki stated that Mr. Ruhlmann may be correct that pedestrians traveling west to east may have a problem as they approach Westview Terrace, however, after they have used this trail once, it should not be a difficulty. Commissioner Liberacki stated that this trail segment would primarily be used by Bridgeview residents who are going west to access the trail system in that direction. Mr. Ruhlmann stated that looking west when you are stopped at Westview Terrace at Mendota Heights Road, you are blind to the traffic. Ms. Ruhlmann inquired why is this trail only proposed for their short section and not for the whole length of Mendota Heights Road. Commissioner Linnell responded that this trail segment is tied into the signal light project and that MnDOT has agreed to pay for this with MSA funding. Mr. Islam stated that if the City is so concerned about safety then the trail should be installed along the full length of Mendota Heights Road. Ms. Islam stated that if the City constructs this trail, then they will be guiding people into an area with a safety problem. Commissioner Linnell stated that the idea is to improve the safety by providing this trail segment so that Bridgeview Shores residents do not have to cross Mendota Heights Road to get to Dodd Road. Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 7 Mr. Islam stated that he feels this whole project was done in secrecy and that his property value will be lowered by $25,000 to $40,000. Mr. Islam stated that they will lose all privacy at their home and that the City would be guiding people, including children with bikes, into a blind intersection if the City constructs this trail. Mr. Islam stated why would anybody want to take a walk on this trail because it is too noisy with the traffic in the area. Commissioner Damberg inquired about the necessity of this trail section if the new middle school opens. Ms. Islam responded that there are no homes on the other side of Dodd Road that would need to get to the middle school. Commissioner Kleinglass stated that he feels the purpose of this trail is to allow Bridgeview Shores residents to connect to Dodd Road and to the trail system on the west side of Dodd Road where there are many trail connections in different directions. Commissioner Linnell stated that he feels this is a small portion of trail that makes sense for this neighborhood. Mr. Islam stated that the only reason the City was providing this trail segment was because we are getting the money from MnDOT. Mr. Norm Linnell, Bridgeview Shores resident, spoke in favor of the City building this trail segment. Mr. Linnell stated that currently children have to cross Mendota Heights Road to access the trail system. Mr. Linnell stated that he believes this trail segment would be a real benefit for Bridgeview Shores children that have to cross Dodd Road at the traffic light. Mr. Linnell stated that Mendota Heights Road is getting busier all of the time and cars often travel at a high speed on this road. Mr. Linnell stated he feels most of the neighborhood would use Pondhaven to get to Westview Terrace where there is currently a deadend. Mr. Kuhlmann stated Westview Terrace is blind to Mendota Heights Road and this trail would be putting people into this blind spot. Mr. Linnell stated that the people are already there using the right-of-way for walking and that the trail would be safety benefit. Mr. Ruhlmann stated that if you can use the seventeen feet of grass existing in this area, why do you need a trail? Commissioner Liberacki stated that the same situation exists in his neighborhood where the patios and the rear of homes back up to an existing trail where it runs along Mendota Heights Road in the Brentwood neighborhood. Mr. Liberacki stated that none of these homes have lost value due to the Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 8 location of the trail in the rear of their property. Commissioner Liberacki stated that he is a professional planner and that he believes this trail segment works well. Commissioner Liberacki stated that the Parks and Recreation Commission has to consider the larger issue of regional trail connections and that this is a logical connection. Mr. Liberacki also stated that for safety reasons he feels this is an important connection for the neighborhoods. Chair Spicer stated he also has a trail running through his backyard and he wishes he could convince the tax assessor that this trail lowers his value. Mr. Islam stated this trail segment was included in secrecy after they purchased their home. Mr. Islam stated they had bought their house without a trail along their rear property line. Mr. Islam stated that he pays taxes to the City and expects service from the City. Mr. Islam stated he feels the City should give the money back to MnDOT and not do the trail, or in order to be consistent, the City should build a trail along the whole length of Mendota Heights Road. Commissioner Liberacki stated the City could build the first segment of the trail, from Westview Terrace to Dodd Road, and then consider extending it all the way to the school site. Commissioner Libra stated that in terms of the volume that will use this trail, the shorter section only benefits your neighborhood. Libra stated that with addition of Mendota Meadows across Mendota Heights Road, this trail is probably needed as a landing for pedestrian and bicyclists due to the increase in traffic. Commissioner Libra stated this trail segment may provide the only safe course to get into the Bridgeview Shores neighborhood. Mr. Islam stated that if the City was to propose the trail the whole length of Mendota Heights Road there would be many more neighbors in opposition to this trail. Commissioner Linnell stated that one option the City has is to plant shrubbery along the trail to enhance the screening and provide in fill screening in the short term. Ms. Islam suggested that instead the City could provide a small trail connection on the south side of Mendota Heights Road west of Dodd Road so that students at St. Thomas Academy and visitation could access the trail that exists on the south side of Mendota Heights Road. Chair Spicer stated that the idea of the proposed trail segment is to give people from Bridgeview Shores safe access to Dodd Road. Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 9 Mr. Islam stated that Public Works Director Danielson had told him that a woman from Bridgeview Shores was on the Task Force and had wanted this trail segment included so that her child could walk to Visitation School. Mr. Islam felt that school children making their way to Visitation School can walk on the grass. Mr. Norm Linnell stated that bicycles and rollerbladers are also going in that direction. Mr. Islam stated that this trail would only be used three to four months of the year. Mr. Norm Linnell stated that he feels it is dangerous to ask children to cross to the south side of Mendota Heights Road to access the trail system. Mr. Linnell stated he feels this would be a benefit to the City for two reasons, 1) it does not cost the City any money, and 2) there are strong safety reasons to install this trail. Mr. Islam stated that it was a mistake for the City to ask for the money for this trail segment without conducting a neighborhood meeting or contacting the property owners along the trail. Commissioner Kleinglass inquired if a cross walk could be painted across Mendota Heights Road at Bridgeview Court. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that a cross walk would create a false impression of a safe cross walk when there is no traffic control device along Mendota Heights Road. Kullander stated that studies show cross walks without control devices creates more accidents. Ms. Islam stated the Parks Commission should consider building a trail all the way along Mendota Heights Road so that they can see how the other neighbors would like having a trail in their rear yard. Chair Spicer stated that he can understand the Islam's concerns because this trail is in their backyard and impacts the use and privacy. Spicer stated that however, the vast majority of residents in the City are in favor of the trails. Mr. Islam stated that his whole house orients to the rear of the property and with a trail in this area there would be no more privacy. Mr. Islam stated that he will not be able to use his patio. He stated that he feels strongly that it will harm the privacy and value of his home. Ms. Islam stated that a Task Force member had discussed the signal light project with them on their property and never mentioned the inclusion of a trail in this project. Ms. Islam stated that the Task Force never considered the impact of this trail on their property and never conducted any public hearings. Chair Spicer thanked the residents for their attendance at this meeting and stated the Parks and Recreation Commission would make a recommendation to the City Council regarding this proposed trail segment. Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 10 IVY FALLS SOUTH-DISCIISSION OF PARK DEDICATION Chair Spicer stated that Mr. Heaver was before the Parks Commission this evening proposing a cash dedication for his proposed subdivision of the Logan and Hughes property. Chair Spicer stated that Mr. Heaver desires to develop nineteen single family homes on this property and that the Commission should consider tonight whether a cash or land dedication is appropriate. Commissioner Linnell stated that he feels it would be a nice amenity to have a trail connection from the end of the proposed cul-de-sac to Clement Street, even if there is no direct trail link in this area. Commissioner Linnell stated that currently there is foot traffic through this field and that at a small neighborhood meeting, the previous evening, neighbors had informed him they would desire a pedestrian connection in this location. Chair Spicer inquired if this trail connection would be in lieu of the proposed cash dedication of $14,250. Commissioner Linnell inquired what is the value of a trail link or an easement in this area. Mr. Heaver responded that the value of an easement in this area would have to be determined. Commissioner Libra stated that he agrees a trail connection would be a benefit for this neighborhood both for people from Ivy Falls north going south to Wentworth Park and for children in Cherry Hills heading east towards Somerset School. Commissioner Libra stated he felt this trail connection would connect Ivy Falls, Cherry Hills and Park Place to Somerset School. Chair Spicer stated that staff could look at designing a trail or an easement and calculate the benefit of this trail and easement against the cash dedication amount. Mr. Heaver stated that he would have to consider the design of his plat and the impact on the value of the lots that would be adjacent to the trail. Mr. Heaver stated that the three lots on Clement Avenue are less than the required one hundred foot width and he is seeking variances on these three lots. Chair Spicer inquired if it would be possible to have a more narrow trail due to these narrow lots along Clement. Parks Project Manager Kullander stated that any trail that is less than eight feet cannot be maintained with the current City equipment. Kullander estimated it would cost approximately $10.00 to $12.00 per lineal foot if the trail is done as part of the public improvement project. Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 11 Mr. Heaver stated he felt the value of the easement may be greater than the cash dedication. Chair Spicer stated it appears the choices are either to accept the cash dedication proposal or to accept an easement for trail including construction costs of the trail. Commissioner Liberacki stated that his understanding of the ordinance is that the ordinance allows a ten percent land dedication from which the City Council can decide to allow a cash dedication in lieu of the required land dedication. Mr. Heaver inquired if the Clement Street area was on the list for City street improvement projects. Kullander stated that the Clement area is not on the list in the immediate future, however, the Cherry Hills neighborhood is. Commissioner Linnell moved to recommend a trail easement and the construction costs of a trail from the end of the cul-de- sac to Clement Street in lieu of the cash dedication. Commissioner Liberacki seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 ABSTAIN: 1, KLEINGLASS Commissioner Kleinglass stated that he is not convinced the City needs the trail. Chair Spicer stated there is little the City can do about the quality of water entering the storm pond. Parks Project Manager Kullander suggested that the Watershed Management Organization would be the appropriate body to host the meeting requested by the neighborhood to discuss water quality and storm water issues. Chair Spicer stated this meeting hosted by the engineering staff should be a part of the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation. Spicer stated that it was his impression that the neighborhood liked the landscape design plan if it includes lower bushes around the steep area on the north facing slope of the berm. Spicer stated these bushes should serve as a barrier both to the pond and to the concrete structures. The Commission agreed that bushes would provide the best screening in this area. Commissioner Linnell stated that he feels wetlands plantings should be done along the fringes of the pond, including cattails. The Commission briefly discussed engineering solutions to the flow of water into the Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 12 pond. Commissioner Libra inquired if the trail along the top of the berm is a good idea in that it encourages people into the area where the wildflowers plantings may be impacted. The Commission was of the consensus to leave the trail in the plan. Mr. Hagstrom stated his impression at the neighborhood meeting was that the residents wanted the City to leave the area by the transplanted pine trees alone and that there should not be a community flower garden included in this area. Mr. Hagstrom stated he had spoke with a woman who used to maintain the flower garden this area and that she had stated she was no longer willing to do so. The Commission directed Mr. Hagstrom to make the following revisions; 1. Include bushes on the north facing slope near concrete skimmers. These bushes would act as a barrier. 2. Wetland plantings along the pond fringe. 3. No additional plantings in "pine area". 4. On east, northeast, wrap the prairie plantings back towards the existing trail and pine trees. 5. In the southwest corner of the park, on the south facing side of the berm, increase the amount of wildflowers including plugs to enhance this high berm area. 6, Stone steps to pond from path and eliminate turf connection to pond on the north side. Prairie plantings shall be all away around the pond. Commissioner Norton moved that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that the City Council approve this landscape design with above revisions. Commissioner Damberg seconded the motion. AYES: 7 NAYS: 0 The Parks and Recreation Commission requested that City staff have a water resource education plan article in the May newsletter and that we should use the two low maintenance designs in Ivy Falls Park and North Kensington Park as an example of ecologically sound landscaping. EVIEW SHORES TRAIL Commissioner Liberacki stated he feels that this connection to Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 13 Bridgeview Shores neighborhood is important and he feels the Parks and Recreation Commission should reaffirm the Task Force recommendation to include this trail segment in the construction of the signal light project. Commissioner Linnell inquired if landscape additions should be included with this trail construction. Commissioner Kleinglass stated that he feels the privacy argument is not a powerful argument and that this home is on the second busiest intersection in the City of Mendota Heights. Commissioner Liberacki moved that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that the City Council approve the construction of this trail segment as part of the Mendota Heights Road/Dodd Road signal light project. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. The Commission discussed the option of extending the trail along Mendota Heights Road to Huber Drive to access the future school site. Commissioner Libra stated that the corner of Westview Terrace and Dodd Road should be reviewed for sight line safety issues. AYES: 5 NAYS: 1, NORTON ABSTAIN: 1, LINNELL Commissioner Liberacki moved to recommend that the City Council direct the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff to investigate the possibility of extending a trail from Westview Terrace to Huber Drive. Commissioner Libra inquired if this investigation should include a trail segment all the way to Delaware Avenue. Commissioner Norton seconded the motion. AYES: 3 NAYS: 3, SPICER, DAMSERG, LIBRA ABSTAIN: 1, LINNELL MOTION FAILS UPDATES Commissioner Norton stated that the Dakota County Parks and Recreation Commission had hosted a meeting to discuss trail connections to Fort Snelling State Park at 4:30 this evening and this is virtually impossible for a working person to attend a meeting at this time. Commissioner Norton stated she feels the topic of this meeting was of primary concern to Mendota Heights and that when Dakota County schedules a Parks and Recreation Commission April 11, 1995 Page 14 meeting, and they want our Parks and Recreation Commission to attend, and that it should not be scheduled on the second Tuesday evening of the month. Norton moved that City staff write a letter to Dakota County informing them that our Parks and Recreation Commission is concerned about the lack of consideration of our schedule. Commissioner Damberg agreed. Commissioner Damberg seconded the motion. AYES: 6 NAYS: 0 ABSTAIN: 1, KLEINGLASS BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH REQUEST The Parks and Recreation Commission considered a request for the use of Mendakota Park fields on Friday evening by Bethel Baptist Church, located at the corner of Highway 110 and Delaware Avenue in Sunfish Lake. The Commission directed City staff to work with the Church to allow this reservation for a fee of $10.00 per field. ADJOURNMENT There being no fixrther business, the Parks and Recreation Commission adjourned its meeting at 10:30 o°clock P.M. Respectfully submitted, Kevin Batchelder Administrative Assistant
