MINUTES

A. Roll Call
Present: Chair Quinlan; Commissioners Gordon, Kjolhaug, Edmondson, Swaggert, Robb, and
Hartmann; Administrator Heck.
Absent: Council Liaison Woodruff.
B. Review Agenda
Robb moved, Edmondson seconded approval of the agenda as presented. Motion carried.
2. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR.
There were no matters from the floor this evening.
3. RECAP JOINT MEETING
Quinlan stated the meeting with council was good and asked for comments. Robb stated it was good
and liked that council came up with goals for the city and the commission can work on the items
related to the goals. Swaggert asked about trails and who “owns” the trails.
Quinlan stated there was a committee that addressed the planning of the trails and producing the
report. Robb asked about the purpose of the committee – what the deliverables were. Quinlan outlined
the work of the committee as it relates to trails.
Heck outlined that at present, Park Commission is the overseer of the trail implementation plan. The
suggestion is to move this to the Planning Commission as they have better experience with public
hearings and since trails are part of the transportation plan, it makes sense to have it with the PC.
Heck also stated that trails that go through the parks are the purview of the Park Commission.
The commission spent some more time talking about the level of feasibility studies. Kjolhaug asked if
there is a way to prepare a lower level study that might separate some trails from others.
After additional discussion, the commission moved on to the next item.
4. REVIEW QUOTE FOR RESURFACING TENNIS COURTS FOR CATHCART,
SILVERWOOD, AND MANOR PARKS.
Commissioner Quinlan introduced this item and stated this is the same firm that did the coating in the
past and the work appears to be good.

Heck indicated that Dermco- Lavine has done an excellent job in the past. He stated that staffs
concern is investing $6,500 in Manor to seal it might not be the best use of funds, which is why staff
recommends holding off on the maintenance of the Manor court so staff can assemble other options
that might be better and more longer term fixes.
After some additional discussion, Commissioner Hartman made the following motion as stated
below.
Commissioner Hartmann moved to recommend the city contract with Dermco-Lavine to
resurface the court at Cathcart and Silverwood, and have staff consider additional options for
Manor. Gordon seconded the motion. Motion carried.
