Developer Presentation- Matt Cudney,Pulte Homes,presented a revised plan for the Theidal development,and discussed revisions to the initial plan. Board discussion focused on the trail and park site in relation to the topography of the development and the 17.7 acre land-cash requirement. Schoppe added clarification on several points during discussion. The Board did agree that they want a trail head with a one acre park in the northern section of the development,and that the trail be kept 25' away from the basin, and have an 8 percent grade.A portion of the trail would replace sidewalk, and the developer will install the trail according to city standards, for 100 percent credit. The Board tabled further discussion until the School District has identified the number of acres required for the proposed school site. Andy Fitz,Montalbano Homes,presented a concept plan for the Lee Farm development at the corner of Ament and Penman Roads. The developer proposes a 10 acre park toward the middle of the development. Schoppe pointed out adjoining developments and discussed possible trail connections. The Board concluded that their preference is to have a six acre park on the east side of the development with a trail crossing to the east and a possible future trail connection to the south. Greg Ingemunson presented a concept plan for Blackberry Woods,a 60-acre development located on River Road north of the PNA Camp.The Board discussed this development in relation to adjoining parcels-, and concluded their discussion with a stated preference for a 2-2.5 acre passive park located in the southwest corner of the development.The remainder of the land-cash obligation would be in cash. Old Business- Brown addressed the MPI regional park, and MPI's recommendation to move compensatory storage to allow the three ball fields to be high and dry.By doing this the mini recreation building and parking area would be removed from the plan. The cost of all of the work to accomplish the move would be absorbed by MPI. With Board consensus, Schoppe will redesign the plan to accommodate the change.The Board agreed to allow the change. New Business- Sleezer presented the Parks Dept.report, including a quarterly hourly report that corresponds to the depar lnient's maintenance standards.Rollins noted that it will be helpful in future resources planning. Brown recommended tabling the park naming application discussion until the next meeting. The Board concurred. Brown spoke briefly to the Development Priorities Report for fiscal years 2004-2007. She noted that Country Hills is nearly finished;River's Edge is under construction;Park E in Grande Reserve is also under construction. She said the report will be helpful in budget planning. Rollins called attention to the summary of bid results and staff recommendations for RFP for the parks maintenance facility.Brown reported that six bids had been received, and discussed the ranking that she and Sleezer recommend. The Board discussed the summaries, and agreed that SRBL is their first choice, and Williams,their second. Correspondence- Rollins noted correspondence regarding two recent break-ins at Beecher. Brown reported that the police are investigating the break-ins, lock configurations are being changed,and other security measures are being discussed. Brown called attention to miscellaneous correspondence. She also showed the Board an example of three signs installed at River's Edge on the edge of the public property being questioned by residents. Rollins encouraged board members to read the 2004 Grants Outlook included in their packets. The meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.,following a motion by Fiala.Koch seconded the motion. Respectfully submitted, Judy Rice Recording Secretary The next meeting of the Board is scheduled on Monday,October 11,at 7 p.m.at the administrative office on West Hydraulic St. q4/7/6 N-A-01) ELT ADD/2n 3 al4 6—avtipi I I of , 3 i140- 1 C ° • YORKVILLE RECREATION DEPARTMENT Superintendent's Monthly Report—Regular Park Board Meeting Oct. 11th, 2004-Meeting Month of September -2004 Highlights and Summary: • • We had our first "Pet Parade"this year at the Riverfront Festival.

New this year we are offering many after-school programs. Currently we have 6 students taking part in the Indoor Floor Hockey program at Circle Center School. We also offered Kickball for the Junior High, but due to the busy schedules we were unable to get enough players. We will continue to promote these great programs for the upcoming seasons. Parker's Playtime Preschool enjoyed their first full month of school. In the first three weeks the children engaged in activities based on the letter of the week. For the letter A they learned about ants and ant farms. Bugs, Bugs, and more Bugs was the theme for the second week, and the final week they learned about Corn and Crops for the letter C. Two High School dances were offered for the Students of Yorkville High School after the home football game. We had over 80 kids attend both of the dances. Survey Summary We had 12 individuals complete a survey this month from the ABC's and 123's, Toddler Fun Days, and Alphabet Soup. In this survey we added another question to find out what times and days parents were looking for preschool type programs. Overall, many of the parents are looking for morning classes, and any day of the week is good for them. We are currently offering programs during this time frame, but we are looking to increase the number of programs offered for many different age levels. Instructor Evaluations I observed both of the instructors for Indoor Floor Hockey and instructor for our in-house preschool programs. Both instructors demonstrated a well thought out and planned lesson plan, related well with the children, and displayed a great enthusiasm for what they were teaching. Scholarships/Grants For the month of September one scholarship was awarded in the amount of $56.00 for our Kindermusik program.

MY FATHER LIVED ON THE FARM ANT) FARMED TT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS. HE WAS POSTMASTER IN YORKVILLE FOR 2.7 YEARS BEFORE HIS RETIREMENT. HE WAS VERY INVOLVED IN DIFFERENT COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES. PLEASE SEE ATTArHFD_ If naming after a person please verify that the person or his immediate surviving family have been contacted: Person Contacted ALICE CRAWFORD Phone Number Date contacted: 8/20/04 By whom: SHERRY ANDERSON OFFICIAL USE Date Received: By whom: Request Verified by Staff Schedule for Park Board Review: Date: Action City Council Date: Action: Dedication Name on Signage Location of Park, Facility, Building, thoroughfare: Sept. 7, 2004 My name is Sherry Anderson daughter of Harry L. Crawford. I would like his name to be considered for naming of one of the parks in River's Edge Subdivision. My Mom and Dad were married(Alice J. LaGow-Crawford) in late 1942. With a strong conviction for standing up for his Country and doing what is right. He voluntarily enlisted in the United States Army during World War II on of the most desperate times of the Century. He served his Country well and was honorably discharged. His belief in freedom and equality for everyone made him one of the driving forces behind facilitating funding to build the first American Legion Hall in Yorkville. Which is now Freeman's Sports by the river downtown. Dad served as Commander of the American Legion Post #489 in Yorkville. Dad owned and operated the Crawford Jewelry Store downtown Yorkville from the middle 40's to 1955. When he sold the business to Baird Jewelers. Dad was a people person and decided to take the test to become the Postmaster of Yorkville. He was Postmaster from 1955-1982. During his 27 year tenure as Postmaster he was the National Legislative Chairman of the National League of Postmasters. He traveled State and Nation wide bringing legislative issues to the forefront. Dad loved being Postmaster and knew just about everyone! He was always willing to chat with the Post Office patron's and was known to share a joke or two. While he was Postmaster of Yorkville he moved his family to the Farm on Fox Road in 1970,to pursue his passion for farming for nature and raising cattle. One of his hobbies was horseback riding and enjoyed teaching his younger girls to ride and grandchildren to ride. They would ride down to the river and in the open grassy area of the farm he participated in many trail rides throughout Kendall County. His commitment to the Community was outstanding during the early 1960's he was instrumental in getting the Yorkville Music Booster established. He orchestrated funding through phone calls to parents and other community members and served as the first President. Dad was involved in the Yorkville Lions Club and served as President— during his membership. He helped with Candy Day and organized speakers for the Clubs enjoyment. He was also involved with the Masonic Lodge and was Master of the lodge in 1961. He enjoyed being involved in Community Clubs and organizations. His family would really feel honored having a park on the farm named for him, and I thank you for this consideration. Sherry Anderson Daughter of H. L. Crawford INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: LAURA BROWN FROM: SCOTT SLEEZER SUBJECT: NEW HIRES DATE: 10/7/2004 CC: Laura, I have reviewed the current budget and park department organizational structure and would like to make a recommendation. This comes after one of our employees took a job with the water department. The position vacated was operator, this person worked in the turf division of parks. I feel that this position does not need to be replaced with a like _ position. Instead we should replace this position with two MWI level positions. This year's budget is allowing us to hire two full time staff for the parks department. One on May 1, 2004 which we did and the other November 1,2004.With the changes in hiring two MWI in place of the operator we would be hiring a total of three full time positions in November. In addition we have a small surplus from hiring a MWI in May instead of a MWII. Salaries cost including three additional MWI to start November 1 and the six month benefit package for one MWI. $264,744.51 What the budget line item in parks salaries should be. $264,725.37 I would like to hire the additional maintenance worker during this calendar year so we can have time to train them. Giving this person time to acclimate to a new job with new duties and equipment before we start our busiest time of year will help us avoid potential problems. Learning park operations and procedures as well as locations in an off peak time for parks will allow our current staff to take more time training them.We would also be able to expedite snow removal from building walks and city streets and assist other departments in emergency situations. INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: LAURA BROWN FROM: SCOTT SLEEZER SUBJECT: RIVERFRONT GARAGE DATE: 10/7/2004 CC: Laura, With space in Yorkville at a premium I was recently in our building at the river front. This building consists of a garage section and a block storage section both are currently being used for storage. The garage section is about 28' by 52' and has the potential to be used for recreation program space. It would require some remodeling and finding storage space for what is currently stored there. I have looked at the space and meet with some contractors to discuss the possibility of renovating the garage section of this building. To involve an architect and have plans drawn makes this an expensive undertaking. I believe if we keep the idea simple I can work with different contractors and renovate the garage section without a drawing and keep the costs reasonable. The plan would be to remove the garage doors and replace them with windows and a new walk in door. Then pour three inches of concrete over the existing floor to level it up. Build a few interior walls to make a storage space for programming and an ADA bathroom. Install new and rehab some existing electric systems. Install new HVAC system and drywall the inside of the building. Blow in some insulation and paint the interior and install a drop ceiling with florescent lighting. Finish the building off with carpet and tile floors and open it to programming. The exterior of the building would not change much and would have similar siding that it does now. The difficult part of this project is the bidding process, without a drawing it is difficult to get an apples to apples comparison on bids. I would ask for some latitude on this process on this project. entrance 6'x 4' windows entrance utiUtyJ J Bathroom storage ifYDRKVILLE WI: PARKS t,RECREATION Yorkville Parks&Recreation Department 908 Game Farm Rd.
