Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 <br />September 14, 2022 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared we do not take counts of the users, but the park is well used <br />because it is close to the Boys and Girls Club. He will also check what playground <br />equipment is at the schools. <br /> <br />Commissioner Soltvedt asked if maintenance had any input regarding the soil at <br />LJWP and the poured-in-place rubber surfacing. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hecker shared there is poured-in-place rubber surfacing in some high impact <br />areas of the playground, and it has not been an issue. <br /> <br />Chair Williams asked commissioners if they want to keep $100,000 as a place holder. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson stated we should put in the dollar amount that we want. <br />Asked what the lifecycle of the playground is. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared it is 25 years. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Soltvedt asked if we are concerned about the cash balance going into <br />the next year if we add another $100,000 to the playground. <br /> <br /> Anderson shared if the commission thinks it’s a priority, we can push some things in <br />2024 to the next year. <br /> <br /> Commissioner consensus was to put $200,000 as a placeholder for LJWP <br />playground. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared plans for a storage garage at Youth Athletic Complex for user <br />groups and park maintenance to use for equipment and tools. The cost for the 2-stall <br />garage at YAC and WTRP does include the concrete, concrete pads, lighting and <br />electric. <br /> <br />Commissioner Holmgren asked where the location of the garage will be. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker shared staff will work together with the user groups and maintenance to <br />determine the best location and the site work will be done by staff. <br /> <br /> Mr. Hecker shared the quote for the netting at YAC is $125,000. Still waiting on <br />quotes for shade structures. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Loidolt shared Dassel Cokato Softball fields have nice shade <br />structures between the fields and suggests contacting the high school to see where <br />they are from.
