Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 4 ^ <br />February 8, 2023 r lJ <br />----------------------------- <br />8.1 Athletic Field Analysis-HKGI <br />Kevin Clark from HKGI went his slides and presentation. Mr. Clark said one thing <br />that came out of November meeting was trying to refine the classification of the <br />fields and the practice levels of the facilities and looking at dimensions making sure <br />they are full size or not and properly accommodate parking. For example, if it is a <br />football field, does it have goal posts, if a baseball field does it have a backstop. Also <br />defining standards. The commission reviewed the rectangle fields in more detail <br />based on commission feedback. The last time the system capacity was examined was <br />with the expansion of fields at YAC in 2005. The community has grown significantly <br />since then. <br />Commissioner Soldvet mentioned that nothing has been brought forth about the <br />opportunities if the city were to add more fields. He would like to know what the <br />increased capacity could be for future tournaments. Mr. Hecker asked Mr. Clark to <br />add this concept as a discussion point and have it be added into the master planning <br />process. <br />Chair Williams agreed that there could be more tournament opportunities. The <br />commission would like to know what it would look like with field changes or <br />maximization and if it this could be added to the master plan. Mr. Clark said that <br />could be added. Mr. Clark said the final draft of the Athletic Field Analysis will be <br />presented at next month's commission meeting for approval. <br />8.2 Electronic Commission Packets <br />Each commissioner decided to choose their own way of having the packet delivered. <br />Councilmember Beyer, Chair Williams, Commissioner Loidolt, and Commissioner <br />Niziolek would like it just emailed with paper packets provided onsite at the meeting. <br />Commissioner Anderson and Rathbun would both still like get the printed document <br />mailed. <br />9.
