Consider Possible Park Improvements The Park and Recreation Commission discussed the list of possible park improvements by staff (see attachment dated 1/30/92). COMMISSIONER HOUGHTELIN MOVED TO RECOMMEND A $16,000 EXPENDITURE FOR DEERFIELD IV INCLUDING $10,000 FOR PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT, $2,000 FOR A 1/2 BASKETBALL COURT, $1,000 FOR A VOLLEYBALL COURT AND $3,000 FOR A LONG SLIDE. COMMISSIONER O'BRIEN SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 6-0. Phil Hals noted that the City Council has allocated $10,000 from the Capi tal Projects Reserve for this improvement so therefore not all of this planned expenditure would have to come from Park Dedication funds. Commissioner O'Brien requested that the City provide some improvements to Tot Park. After some discussion, the Park and Recreation Commission added Tot Lot and a sum of $1,500 (for a 1/2 basketball court) to the park improvements list. A memo from Charlie Blesener regarding some funding support for playground equipment at the Community Education office for ECFE was discussed. The Commission expressed a willingness to help and would like a member of the ECFE Board to attend a future meeting and discuss their needs, plans and goals.
