It was noted the rate is comparable to that of Nikiski. ITEM 6: NEW BUSINESS 6-a. City Cleanup Sandahl asked who was responsible for the City cleanup and it was explained the Chamber sponsors the event and it would begin next week. Sandahl reminded the Commission of how the cleanup effort was in the past when there were incentives offered and it seemed the entire community got involved. Sandahl thought the incentive program should be reinstated with prizes donated by local merchants- the same businesses whose trash is seen and picked up along the roadways. A lengthy discussion ensued and it was decided that Frates would contact the Chamber and present the idea for consideration for next year. 6-b. Discussion -- Summer Maintenance - Frates gave a slide presentation of recreation areas and projects that will be worked on during the summer. The areas are: Little League Fields- Frates reported more improvements will be made to this field and consideration is being to given to whether or not the snack shack will remain. Consideration is also being given to adding restrooms and bleachers. Little League was given a $75,000 donation and will be assisting with the noted improvements. b. Softball Field- It was explained dug-out repairs are required and the Softball Association will assist with this project by rebuilding the dugouts and not attaching them to the fence as they are now. Small rocks continue to be a problem and Mike Baxter offered the use of the sifter from the Offer Park. Ce Offer Park- It was noted the improvements made in the front last year look very nice. Discussion took place on the brush strip and stump removal. d. Beaver Creek Park- It was reported the Sandahl's went in and did some clean up in the Park and it looks very nice. Landscaping will take place around the restroom in the park this summer. Cunningham Park- The park looks very nice after the renovation last year and it appears everything held up over the winter. Sandahl pointed out three posts that are li/~g and could be a safety hazard. It was noted that boats no longer have access to the park. Benches and picnic tables may be added this summer. PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING MAY 4, 2000 PAGE 2 Staining Projects- Frates reported several locations, to include the gazebo at Left Hansen Park, would be stained this summer. go Erik Hansen Scout Park- Work will begin on better drainage at the entrance to the park and the statue will be unveiled on May 19 at 5:00 p.m. and all Commissioners were invited to attend. Frates added, the Mayor will be present as well as local Boy Scout groups. May 19th is Erik Hansen's birthday. Also, the interpretative Signage will be placed this summer. The artist will be visiting the area and doing research. ho Cemetery- The sign has been erected with assistance from the street department. Discussion took place on the tree cutting and it was noted that a four-year plan is being developed for landscaping in that area. Porter reported the FAA will cite the City for non-compliance as the remaining trees are still too tally. Wisniewsld noted the FAA was amenable to working with the City on a solution. Gifford thought the AirpOrt should purchase a wrought iron fence for the cemetery as an apology for the damage. Porter noted that landscape and improvements are a part of the four-year plan. Frates noted, the Beautification Corn~ittee would like to landscape the front of the cemetery along the fence line by creating a shrub bed and possibly planting roses. j. Municipal Park Trail System- The Lions Club will begin Phase 3 of the trail system project. Phillips Petroleum Project- Frates explained the project proposed by Phillips and accepted by City Council to those members who were absent at the last meeting. Discussion ensued and some members thought perhaps Pbi!!ips should cOnsider a bridge-type crossing over the stream in the area rather than the proposed project. Frates stated he would discuss the suggestion with Pl~illips to see if they would consider a change but they originally turned the stream crossing idea down. ITEM 7: REPORTS Commission Chair- Hultberg thanked everyone for filling in for him in his absence. Hultberg requested the Commissioners drive through various parks this summer and report any problems they may find. T-b. Director- Frates reported that the summer hire process was cOmpleted. Three employees were already on board and were in the process of inspecting the parks.

City Council Liaison - Councilwoman Porter announced she would discuss the City cleanup suggestions with Council as well as the need for more gravel at Beaver Creek Park. ITEM 8: COMMISSION QUESTIONS/h COMMENTS Commissioner Gilford asked whether or not the cleaning specifications were determined for rental of the Teen Center. Frates explained, anyone utilizing the Teen Center is required to clean up behind themselves but they are not expected to do the job of the regular staff. Porter stated the Senior Center allowed user groups to pay someone to come in and clean after a function and Parks and Recreation may want to consider a similar situation for the Recreation Center. Gilford stated that when she was in Florida she saw a water truck that was painted with flowers and thought the idea would be nice for Kenai. Gifford contacted Mark Bergemer and he indicated he has two students who need a project so could possibly paint the City's water truck. Frates stated it had to be done tastefully so suggested that a plan be developed a.nd brought back to the Parks ar.d Recreation Commission and the Beautification Committee for approval. Gifford stated she would provide a plan at the next Beautification Committee meeting. Commission Sandahl wanted everyone to be aware of the possible need for outsourcing should local schools face the same cuts as Anchorage is facing. This entails the elimination of sports programs from the schools. Commissioner Castimore stated the bike trails are in excellent condition. the new sweeper does a good job. Frates said Student Representative Peters thanked Frates for the use of the Teen Center for prom night. Everyone had a wonderful time. Discussion took place on having an article in the local newspaper twice a month on Parks and Recreation activities. Councilwoman Porter reported she had suggested that a City newsletter go out with all water and sewer bills twice a year and each department would have a section w/thru where such information could be posted.
