ITEM 4: PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE H -- None ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS 5-a. Discussion -- BMX/ Skateboard Park -- Frates requested the Commission refer to the outlined areas on the maps provided in the Commission packets. The areas were categorized and discussed as follows: #1 Barron Park: Barron Park (the old fire training grounds) is located behind Kenai Chrysler on Marathon Road. An advantage to this area is the large dirt pile that exists there already. This would eliminate the need to bring dirt in to create a BMX park. A disadvantage to this area is it is Airport property; buying or leasing the area could be very expensive. #2 Lawton: The Commission stated this area might not be the most aesthetically pleasing area to use. An advantage to this area is its proximity to the muti-purpose use facility. Again, Frates stated, this area is Airport property. #3 Ball Field Area: The Commission spoke at length regarding the merits of this area and its future potential. This area is owned by the City, which added to its appeal. Discussion of future improvements included: Converting a BMX/ Skateboard Park into a snowboarding area for winter use, baseball complex, soccer fields, parking, camp sites and other possible developments. Additional discussion was spent on the idea of using part of Jettison Junction (borough owned) to accommodate any long-term future plans. MOTION: Commissioner Hultberg MOVED to recommend to council an architect review the ballpark area and develop draft schematics and cost estimate for the ballpark subdivision design improvements which will include plans for a dirt bike trail/park, parking, a baseball complex, soccer fields, a lighted complex, and camp sites. Commissioner Sandahl SECONDED the motion. VOTE: Baxter Yes Castimore Yes Sandahl Yes Hultberg Yes Gifford Absent Wisnieweski Yes Steiner Absent MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS 6-a. Todd Dewey, KPHA Request for Hockey Clinic / Multipurpose Facility Dewey presented the Commission with a request to hold a hockey clinic at the multi- purpose use facility this upcoming spring (May or June). Dewey stated he held a clinic last summer with approximately 65 players attending from Vancouver. This team has contacted him to express interest in attending again. Dewey stated he feels he could easily get 100 people or more this year. Frates presented the Commission with electricity/utility and ice preparation costs. Frates also stated he feels the ice making system can handle maintaining ice in 50-55 degree weather, though the city will probably want to recoup expensive utility costs. Additionally, Frates suggested KPHA work in the Kenai Recreation Center as part of their hockey clinic/training program. MOTION: Commissioner Hultberg MOVED to recommend to Council hockey clinic plan, provided the economics -are worked out. SECONDED the motion. VOTE: the approval of Dewey's Commissioner Sandahl Gifford Absent Steiner Absent Sandahl Yes Castimore Hultberg Yes Yes Baxter Yes Wisniewski Yes MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
