City Council Minutes Page 10 <br /> May 6,2019 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mr. DeBruyn stated it was not about Spectrum High School. They currently have the <br /> property available. He feels it's an unmet need to have a lighted,boarded rink on the <br /> east side of Highway 169. He wishes to utilize the space for the community by <br /> providing the lighting and warming house, space that is there but not used in the <br /> winter. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard said it was a gracious offer by Spectrum but he wonders <br /> if there is a community outcry for a lighted,boarded ice rink east of Highway 169. It <br /> is not near any neighborhoods and not easy for children to walk to. The Parks and <br /> Recreation Commission has had budget constraints since 2008 and he is surprised to <br /> hear this is a priority of the commission. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked that the item return to the Parks and Recreation Commission so <br /> they could review the numbers. If the Commission decides it is a priority,the council <br /> can revisit it. <br /> Mr. DeBruyn stated the desire of Spectrum was to work with the community <br /> whether now or in the future. They are looking for ways to partner with the city. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked Mr. Hecker if the item could be added to the Parks and <br /> Recreation Commission meeting scheduled for May 8, 201 . <br /> 10.4 Rivers Edge Commons Park c0,t <br /> Mr. Hecker presented the staff report:. <br /> Shannon Tatro,resident,was in attendance. <br /> Mayor.Deitz asked if the docks would be taken out in the winter. <br /> Mr. Tatro said the docks be taken out in the winter,however,his dock,which <br /> is also the EZ Dock system, as weathered an ice dam when left in over the winter <br /> with little damage. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked about storage of the dock during the winter. <br /> Mr. Femrite responded that maintenance will visit Anoka to watch how they install <br /> their dock. An option could be to float the dock pieces to Babcock Memorial Park <br /> and haul on a trailer. The pieces are plastic and therefore are easier to move. <br /> Mr. Femrite stated the reason he was bringing the item to the council was to show <br /> the additional work staff has been doing with the help of residents Shannon Tatro <br /> and Randy Tesdahl. Once the total cost is determined they can begin seeking grant <br /> opportunities for the ADA portion. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked how much the ADA portion of the dock plan would cost. <br /> P 0 W I R I U 9 Y <br /> otm§A UREJ <br />
