Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 4 May 13, 2020 ----------------------------- Mr. Hecker shared his staff report. Commissioner Anderson shared this trail entrance has been moved once in the past, it was further south. Invaluable access to Great Northern Trail, not in favor of limiting parking on public street. Commissioner Holmgren stated that the unprecedented times is causing more use of trails and do not see any reason to make changes. Commissioner Loidolt, new house owner knew the trail access was there, and leave it there, believes it will level out. Commissioner Niziolek access to parks creates community, we must promote road access to parks. Commissioner Rathbun states he thinks commission should be consistent with leaving the street access to parks. 8.2 Youth Athletic Complex Lights Mr. Hecker asked commissioners for feedback on what they would like to do for an opening. Chair Williams shared that we have something out there at YAC with social distancing, and have participants sit in cars with their lights on. Commissioner Anderson thinks it’s a great idea, go from total darkness to turning on the lights. Have participants turn off their car lights. Commissioner Loidolt said to have youth baseball and softball board members on field. Commissioner Niziolek, like the idea, concerned about it at this time. Commissioner Rathbun concerned too and need guidance. Commissioner Soltvedt stated to getting more guidance to be able to participate safely or do it during a larger scale activity of opening YAC. Commissioner Holmgren supports the idea.
