ITEM 3: APPROVAL OF MINUT .ES...- February 3, 2000 With no corrections and/or additions noted, the minutes of the February 3, 2000 Parks & Recreation Commission meeting were approved as written. ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD Ryan Green -- It was explained Green is the grandson of Bernie Huss and attended the meeting to present a proposal for improving the Bernie Huss Fitness Trail. Green had a map of the area and newspaper articles of past clean-up and improvement efforts. Green's project would be a part of the "Caring for the Kenai' program and he would get school credit for his efforts. Green reported that a lot of trash accumulates on the trail and he, in conjunction with the Boys and Girls Club and Young Marines, would volunteer to clean up the area every other day during the summer. Green also reported he requested Alan Norvflle to consider erecting a fence to separate his strip mall and the trail. Green stated he thought the vandalism would be minimized if the fimess equipment was removed and perhaps some benches and picnic tables could be placed throughout the trail and some big toys could be placed in the center for younger children. Discussion took place on the removal of fitness equipment and Frates thought it would be beneficial if it was moved. Frates continued, adding tables and benches would change the original intent but since the fitness equipment only got minimal use the change could be good for the trail. Green discussed the possibility of having the tables and benches made out of the beetle kill trees with the framework being donated by businesses in the area. Green pointed out that replacement or repair of such equipment would be minimal and the beetle kill trees would be utilized. Green indicated his proposal needed to be submitted by March 17 and final selection would be made on March 25. Green requested input from the Parks Commission and noted Suzanne Little offered to do a site overview free of charge. The Commission thanked Green for his presentation and wished him luck on the project and agreed the proposal would benefit the trail. ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS 5-a. Discussion- Banner Selection Frates reported the space originally donated to Helen Brown for work on the banners waa no longer available and that she was checking with the high school and EDD for space. If she is unable to find other space, she would begin the work in her basement. ITEM 6: KEW BUSI17ESS 6-a. Discussion- Plants Wisniewski noted the planter boxes were not as healthy last year as in prior years and asked what options were available to improve them. Frates stated, many factors affected the boxes, including weather, the short season and maintenance. Discussion took place on the greenhouse and it was pointed out the intent of the greenhouse was a place to keep the plants that were purchased from Trinity until they could be placed in planters. Frates noted the planter boxes were old and in poor condition, however, new ones were being built to replace the older ones. Frates stated the City would contact various businesses to see if they would be interested in adopting a planter box and they would be responsible for the upkeep during the summer.

Director PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 2, 2000 PAGE 2 Director Frates reported the following: Multi-purpose Facility -- The ice was holding up pretty well in spite of the warmer temperatures but the ice is being used quite frequently.
