was cut by $2000, there was $40,000 put back imo the budget for a restroom at the
Municipal Park. This facility will probably be hooked up to city sewer and water.
There is supposed to be one more session with Council before the budget is finalized.

budget at this time.
Playground Equipmem - Kayo McGillivray stated that the playground equipmem was
approved by Council and will be ordered tomorrow.
Kayo reported that he had also been requested to make changes to the Christmas
lights for this year. There were no plans submitted to Parks and Rec Commission on
banners. There are several of the lights that need to be re-wired. They will be
getting estimates soon on the cost of repair and garland replacemem versus the cost of
new lights.
Greenhouse - Kayo McGillivray reported that the greenhouse is full and doing well.
They are still watering by hand and hope to get water to the greenhouse later this
year. Kayo would like to eventually install a water heater at some point.
Rotary Matching Gram - Kayo McGillivray reported that the Rotary had offered a
gram to the city for Old Town Park improvemems. The City agreed to matching
funds. He will be meeting with the Rotary members soon to fine rune the
info .rmation.
Hockey Rink - Commissioner Sandahl felt that if the City again decides to approach
the hockey rink issue that they should seriously consider the same type of setup as
Nikiski has. Commissioner Castimore felt that because of the cost perspective, it
should be something that they should consider. He felt it was a usable structure for
winter sports as well as for other activities in the summer.
Commissioner Wisniewski stated that he had been involved in two committees for the
ice rink. He felt that the Nikiski facility was also acceptable for what the City wants
and needs. Commissioner Castimore urged everyone to go take a look at the Nikiski
facility if they haven't already done so.
Commissioner Sandahl asked that if any more discussion comes up in the future that
at least the issue be brought before the Parks and Rec Commission for consideration.
Councilman Bannock stated that there is a need for ice, but that these projects keep
ballooning upwards as the scope of the projects increase.
