<br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes <br />June 11, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 10 of 10 <br />going out and playing by themselves. For the money spent on them, he feels that the playgrounds don’t <br />get the same amount of use they use to get. Commissioner Stewart asked staff about how much time <br />there is on ordering equipment. He also thinks that the survey is a great idea, but he doesn’t want to <br />order equipment if they aren’t sure if the community wants to replace a playground such as Country <br />Crossings once it is removed. Mr. Shelby said that equipment for a new playground would probably <br />need to be ordered this fall for next spring. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson shared that if it were up to him, he would keep playgrounds A, B, C, D, E, and F on the <br />park map that Mr. Stremcha and Mr. Shelby drew regions on. He doesn’t know what else they will be <br />able to afford to do, even if they ask the public what they would like to do. He thinks there is a big <br />difference between what people say and what they will do. He said there is pain in having to make the <br />hard decisions, and he doesn’t know what to do. <br /> <br />Commissioner Niziolek requested that staff come up with a survey and return to the commission for <br />review, and then proceed forward, but hold off on ordering any playgrounds until next year. Chair <br />Anderson asked if a survey would give them honest information. <br /> <br />Mr. Shelby said that they could do an old school mailing as well as some online tools such as Social <br />Pinpoint and other things that he is planning to explore more to see what is available to us. He wants to <br />look at multiple channels. <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha said that they could go back to the playground that is coming up for replacement, such as <br />Country Crossings, Fresno, and Mississippi Oaks, within the next two years. They are all in the same <br />region, so rather than doing a city-wide survey, they could do a survey just to region one. It would be a <br />targeted specific need. Staff will create a survey and bring it to the commission to discuss it further, <br />with the intention that they will send it out before the end of summer. A specific area, zone one. (see <br />map with drawings from the meeting attached in the minutes) <br /> <br />Mr. Stremcha showed on the park map regions they could break down for surveys and feedback. <br />11. MOTION TO ADJOURN <br /> Moved by Commissioner Loidolt and seconded by Commissioner Varty to adjourn the <br />meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission at 8:52pm. Motion carried 6-0. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> __________________ <br />Dave Anderson, Chair <br /> ___________________ <br />Tina Allard, City Clerk <br />
