YMCA Partnership Proposal Update—This will be tabled until May 10a'.
There will be a survey going out which includes questions about an indoor pool. City
Council will be advised not to give the YMCA any money at this time. It is a little too
premature to commit at this time.
Yorkville Crossing Update—There was discussion about a four-five acre dog
park. It would be called Jumbo Park. There was also discussion revisiting the park
boards' decision to seek no land and all cash for this development. A four-five acre area
for a dog park could satisfy interest shown by many Yorkville dog owners. This site may
be beneficial because of the water feature, central location, and high density. The
consensus of the park board was to stand by the original decision to seek cash in lieu of
land.
New Business:
Park Naming Contest for Grande Reserve Park D—Grande Reserve School
and Parks and Recreation are jointly participating in a contest in which students will be
asked to submit names for Park D. The teachers, student council, and park and recreation
staff will narrow the choices, and the student body will vote on the name. Chris Rollins
noted that a naming application will still need to be submitted.
Reports:
Parks Report—A hedge was put in at the Regional Ball Field Park surrounding
the neighbors' land. There was a quote from J.E.M. Morris Construction Co. for the
grease trap and sewer hook up. Sewer charges will be sent back to the developer to pay.
Ken Koch moved to give Dave Mogle authority to proceed with work on the concession
stand not to exceed$11,300 after he has exhausted all avenues to work out an agreement
with Fox Metro for a variance so that the grease trap would not be required. Kelly
Sedgwick seconded the motion. All moved to pass with a roll call vote. Koch—yes,
Rollins—yes, Sedgwick—yes, Truman—present,Horaz—present. The motion carried.
