topics were noted by the Park Board Tuesday 3/15/2016
(with all members present at the Park): |
* City has
marked future location of sand volleyball "court" (south
of old pool house & east of new pavilions). Equipment has been
received.
* Swing set frame need work before swing seats restored. West brace
disconnected by tree roots.
* Trail lights and benches stored for long time ... waiting for
electrical support and concrete bases.
* A few stumps need grinding/removal.
* Cutoff pipe needs removal by old bench (in concrete base)
* Tennis court grafitti ... needs solution
* Tennis court surface ... some cracks and openings
* New LED lights for tennis courts being discussed by city (per
park supt. Bobby Romero) and hopefully light sensors instead of
timers which keep getting reset by power outages.
* Softball field tree has grown tall in front of one field light
structure
* Drain pipe / drain (east of tennis court) ... large rocks being
moved by kids and drain being clogged by kids. Consider locking
feature for drain cover. Maybe fence? (Unsure if middle drain cover
has same issues?)
* Loose pavers by path beside softball/tennis are occasionally removed
* Softball outfield fence needs work
* Supt. has added sign to prohibit dogs from softball field ...
as owners were not picking up after their animals
* Park board still in favor of speed bump(s) ... witnessed near
incident with speeder and youngster on bike in the same roadway
during this walkthrough. Waiting on city commission final action.
Also consider increasing speeding fines for park location.
* Consider white paint for big pavilion ceiling framework..
* Loose conduit on cooking shed by big pavlion. Temporary fix on
the spot.
* Consider future use of multi-level paved area where Kiwanis Hut
had previously been. Potential parking if stripped and/or add picnic
tables? ... or other use?
* Still need plaque for Nachtigall sculpture. Waiting on Wade's
design and followup.
* Bathrooms remain locked by basketball court. Assume ongoing vandalism
issue?
* Dead possum in creek to be removed ... and other trash/plant growth
* Consider asking NHS students for help on projects.
* Consider restoring small foot bridge across creek
* Consider potential use of city land north of creek
* Still need repair/replacement of 19th Street bridge and unsafe
pedistrian walkway adjoining park on west ... likely tied to city
tax vote April 5th |
Note: some
of these are only an issue due to ongoing vandalism by those disrespecting
the park, others are normal wear & tear, or pending projects.
No formal actions were taken during this informal status review
of the park. The next park board meeting is scheduled for April
19th back at city hall. These meetings are open to the public.
