City Council Minutes Page 9 <br /> January 22,2013 <br /> He further asked Council to consider allowing removal of the materials that may have value <br /> and if they could be stored until a plan for another skate park could be evaluated and <br /> implemented. <br /> The park users were agreeable to helping out with removal of materials. <br /> Mr.Leeseberg asked Council for clear direction on the method for removal of the skate <br /> park. He noted the two methods will vary in labor and costs. <br /> Council consensus was to leave it to staff to determine if it is worth the effort to salvage any <br /> components of the play area. <br /> Councilmember Motin stated he is in favor of a committee for reviewing replacement <br /> options,but noted the city has a limited budget and the Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> has to review and determine its park priority list. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he is glad to hear the skate park users have no objection to moving the <br /> location of the park to a different part of the city. <br /> Councilmember Burandt questioned Mr.Anderson as to what he was referring to in regard <br /> to taking down the skate park. <br /> Mr.Anderson stated if he was a skateboarder he would gather up his buddies to tear the <br /> park down for the city.He stated if staff was taking it down they might think it was not <br /> worth the effort to salvage,but he was hoping the volunteers would be willing to say they <br /> are willing to put in time to salvage the components if they think it is of any value to <br /> reconstruct. He stated this approach would have minimal costs,whereas another approach <br /> could cost up to $80,000 and he is not sure this volunteer group would have the resources to <br /> pull this together. <br /> Tom Sawyer,380 Third Street—Expressed concerns with the skate park being torn down <br /> and not having a replacement option in place. <br /> Mayor Dietz noted the park has to come down due to safety and liability issues and stated <br /> Council can't make any promises of the results regarding another skate park. <br /> MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN AND SECONDED BY <br /> COUNCILMEMBER WESTGAARD TO DIRECT STAFF TO REMOVE THE <br /> SKATE PARK LOCATED AT LIONS PARK AND FOR STAFF TO LOOK AT <br /> MAINTAINING MATERIALS WHERE FEASIBLE.
