<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Joint City Council/Park & Recreation Commission <br />April 12, 1993 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The recommendation from the Park & Recreation Commission was to build <br />the holding tank under the well building as a holding pond in that area <br />is not conducive to a park environment. <br /> <br />After discussion regarding this item, it was the consensus of the City <br />Council to not change their previous motion and to still choose Option <br />#1, a holding tank underneath the well building. <br /> <br />4. Area 728 Recreation Annual Report <br /> <br />Jeff Asfahl, 728 Area Recreation Coordinator presented the 728 Area <br />Recreation 1992 Annual Report. Jeff Asfahl reviewed the program <br />objectives of the 728 Area Recreation Program and achievements that <br />have been accomplished in 1992. <br /> <br />Councilmember Scheel questioned whether there is assistance available <br />for those children that cannot afford the recreation fees for the <br />programs. She further questioned whether the 728 Area Recreation <br />program had programs available for handicapped children. Jeff ASfahl <br />informed Councilmember Scheel that there were funds available for <br />children who could not afford fees. He also informed the Council that <br />there are not special handicapped programs available and that this is <br />an area that needs to be worked on. He further stated that the ADA Law <br />does not recommend special handicap programs, but encourages the <br />inclusion of the handicap in existing programs. <br /> <br />The City Administrator thanked Jeff Asfahl for presenting the 728 Area <br />Recreation Annual Report. <br /> <br />5. <br /> <br />Community Education Fields Name <br /> <br />The Commission and Council discussed the joint venture between the City <br />and the School District for the development of the recreation fields <br />that are directly north of the Community Education building. It was <br />noted that the working name for this area has been Community Education <br />fields and that these fields are anticipated to be used for recreation <br />activity in 1993. <br /> <br />Jeff Asfahl indicated that if a new name was going to be used to <br />identify these fields, then such a name should be determined very <br />shortly before schedules are developed and this area begins to be <br />identified by a specific name. Additionally, as this is a joint <br />venture between the City and the School, any recommendation from the <br />City would have to go to the School Board for its approval. <br /> <br />A number of names were discussed and it was the consensus of both the <br />Commission and the City Council that the City suggest to the SChool <br />Board the name of Oak Knoll Park for this area north of the Community <br />Education building, west of Proctor Avenue, and south of the City <br />public works garage. <br /> <br />6. <br /> <br />1993 Parks Capital Improvement Projects <br />
