The minutes were approved as written. ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD - None ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS Discussion- Skateboard Park Gifford requested an update on the status of the skateboard park. Frates reported the issue is with City Council for review and approval and added, money for the park may be able to come from the funds appropriated for the refrigeration system for the multi- purpose facility. A lengthy discussion ensued which covered the various options for the park to include location, type of material to be used, cost, etc. It was noted the cost of the skateboard park will be approximately $32,000 for an estimated nine ramps. More ramps could be added later. Commissioner Castimore stated many parents expressed anger over the slow process of getting this park constructed. It was noted complaints have been received from some local businesses with regard to kids using their parking lots as a skateboard park. MOTION: Commissioner Gifford MOVED to recommend that City Council appropriate $32'000 for the cost of a skateboard park to be completed in the summer of 2001. Commissioner Castimore SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Castimore Yes Steiner Wisniewski Yes Yes Yes Sandahl Yes Hultber§ Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Frates reported the method of operation was being discussed and it is possible users of the park would be required to complete safety training, have a parent or guardian sign a waiver, and pay a fee. During discussion it was noted that charging a fee prObably would not eliminate the problem local businesses experience as most of the kids can't afford the expensive sports. Discussion followed regarding training and it was suggested by Sandahl that perhaps students and/or users of the park could develop a safety training video. Frates stated the issue would be the on May 16th city council agenda and after that a meeting could be set up with parents and kids. The safety training video could be discussed at that time. Steiner will notify the students.
