Paris&Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 <br /> November 13,2013 <br /> Commissioner Ahlness would like to pursue the fenced playground area if the price <br /> is right. <br /> Commissioner Kallemeyn shared that the commission should not impose standards <br /> onto the homeowners association regarding the pond area and that we should work <br /> out a deal for the fenced in playground area. <br /> Commissioner Nystrom questioned if the pond area was natural. <br /> Mr. Felska shared that the pond has a spring and is a collection pond for the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> Commissioner Anderson shared that the commission was a part of the original <br /> development agreement and the homeowners association should not have to pay <br /> taxes and take care of a park that has turned into a publicly used park. There is no <br /> money for this year but should figure out how to work the playground into the <br /> budget in the future. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek shared concern over taking on two major expenditures from <br /> the development,a trail a few years back and now potentially the playground. <br /> Mr. Felska stated that if the playground is not kept up it will go away and that the <br /> trail had been donated to the City due to the Homeowners Association not being <br /> able to maintain it. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Sagan and seconded by Commissioner Kallemeyn <br /> to recommend to City Council to accept donation of Windsor 3'' Park fenced- <br /> in playground area. Motion carried 6-1. <br /> 7.2 Orono Athletic Complex Renaming Recommendation <br /> John Dietz, 13399 Riverview Dr. Elk River,formally submitted the request to <br /> rename the Orono Athletic Complex to the Dave Anderson Athletic Complex. <br /> Sharing two main reasons among the background information shared.First,Dave's <br /> involvement in building the complex and second,the Athletic Complex does not <br /> have a strong, formal name. <br /> Mr. Dietz also shared the renaming policy process and stated there is no reason to <br /> wait for someone to pass away to recognize them. <br /> Commissioner Sagan stated he thought it was a great idea. <br /> Commissioner Anderson stepped aside for Vice-Chair Ahlness to take commission <br /> vote. <br /> P / lE1E1 <br /> 11 <br /> (NATURE <br />
