AGENDA

1. Call to Order.

2. Roll Call: -- All present: Webb, Hunt, Reaser, Tidwell, and Wright

3. Approval of minutes from Aug. 21, 2012 Regular Meeting. -- Approved

4. Report from Phil Stowell, Public Works Director.
* Charlie's Park -- Metal basketball net, checking prices on metal picnic table, polycarts added, unsafe tree removed, additional grounds cleanup planned
* Splash pad closed Oct. 1st

5. Discussion and possible action on additional amenities at Charlie’s Park. -- No action, but discussion on some type of structure for the picnic table which could serve double duty as shade for the park table as well as a school bus stop. Will explore options and costs.

6. Discussion and possible action on status of extra playground equipment. -- No action, discussion was that City Manager recommend storing until placement somewhere in city park rather than offer for sale to other groups (as previously discussed). Photo and inventory of stored equipment requested by park board.

7. Discussion and possible action regarding Park Ordinances revisions.
-- A general cleanup of the outdated ordinance is to be drafted by the city clerk based on the following park board recommendations (with eventual city attorney and commission followup once that draft clears the park board)
-- Approved: remove zoo and airports from park board concern & clarify "public amusement" scope for the park board (outside city park)
-- Approved: Requested commission direction and ordinance clarification on whether park board had concern with fairgrounds or not... which might be considered a park board concern based on either a "public amusement" or having been designated first "Pioneer Park" in February 1976 and then renamed "Woody Wilson Park" in December 1976. The park was to include all of the fairgrounds and the depot museum according to a Feb. 1976 news article.
-- Approved: reword the park ordinances to change the park board to an advisory board rather than a board directly involved in park finances and hiring.
-- Approved: allow fishing in city park ... which was not obvious in the old ordinance wording
-- Approved: dogs on leashes to be allowed in city park, but owner must clean up after
-- Approved: fires would only be allowed in approved / permanent grills in city park (noting that the present grills need work ... and those grills have been in place for years dispite old ordinance working that appreared to prohibit all fires in the park)

8. Discussion and possible action regarding Vision-2 candidate park projects. -- No action on specific recommendations, but discussion prior to city public meet the following day. The discussion also centered on trying to clarify which projects on the park board's "wish list" may already have funding secured by grants.

9. New Business. -- none

10. Adjournment.
