The group reviewed the park improvement list and it was determined that most projects should not be very expensive. It was suggested the brash be cleared from Beaver Creek Park. Wisniewski recommended a questionnaire be handed out to local groups to determine whether or not they would be interested in assisting with any renovations. A lengthy discussion was held on the Bernie Huss Fitness Trail and it was suggested the equipment be moved to another area because of the extreme vandalism the occurs at Bernie Huss. All agreed that the equipment be placed in an area where it would get more use. East Kenai Park and the recreation center were possible locations. It was also suggested the entire area at Bernie Huss Fitness Trail be cleared and picnic tables be installed to attract workers in that area. The Huss family should be notified before anything is done. Discussion took place on areas for an ice rink. These areas included the area by the golf course, the lot by the high school, mental health lands, and the Oilers area. With regard to capital expenditures, Frates stated that anything over $50,000 would be discussed at the September 10 goals and objectives meeting. Discussion was held on a van for Parks and Rec and it was determined the van would be most beneficial as it would be used for tours, conference trips out of town, more area access for children, etc. Frates indicated that he would look for grants and see if he could get assistance from the oil companies. Discussion was held on lighting the ski trails. The expense is quite high but could be shared with golf club owners, Oilers, etc. Lysa McCauley discussed the aerobics program at the rec center and the instructor training she received. The program will start on October 6. The purchase of a health assessment computer program was also discussed. Frates stated that floor renovations will begin on the basketball and racquet ball courts. It is possible the facility will be shut down for a couple of days to accommodate the work. Frates reported the food service inspection scored 100%.
