98.50 Motion was made by Raymond, seconded by Larson, to recommend Ciry Council
consider approval of the proposed changes to the Resolution Establishing Rules and
Rental Fees for use of City Park Facilities, Buildings and Property.
Motion passed.
ITEM #7. Review designs and specifications for proposed park identification
signs.
Staff has been working with Benjamin Signs on designs and specifications for park
identification signs. Signs are proposed to be constructed of sandblasted redwood
material and painted with latex paint. Signs should remain maintenance-free for
seven to eight years, after which time a re-touch of paint may be needed. Staff and
the artist have narrowed the proposed design to four choices. Five of the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Committee members in attendance expressed a preference for
the curved-top layout stating that the sketch has a resemblance to a colonial style with
a traditional but new look. They felt the design fit well with the Heritage theme of
the city buildings. Committee members' second choice was the rectangular design
with the circular logo slightly above and below the background. The City Council
will review recommendations for a design at an upcoming work session.
ITEM #8. Unfinished business.
The letter to Lakeville snowmobile owners has been prepared and will be mailed
December 18, 1998.
Committee members received a revised Park Dedication Fund budget in their packets.
Additions to the budget included lighting along the north side of 165"' Street between
Interlachen Blvd. and Ipava Avenue. Staff also stated that County Road 5 trails
between County Road 46 and Klamath Trail would also be lighted.
ITEM #9. New business.
Staff stated that a night flooding shift would start on Sunday evening, weather
permitting. The Park Maintenance Dept. experimented using diluted field marking
paint to whiten the surfaces on the paved rinks. This is supposed to keep the ice from
melting as quickly as it would with a black surface. Staff believes the painting
process went well and should improve ice-making capabilities.
At their December 7t'' meeting, City Council authorized OSM to begin plans and
specifications for Klamath Trailway Phase III. A schedule will be developed this
winter as part of the bid package.
