ITEM 5: OLD BUSINESS
Discussion -- Leif Hansen Memorial Park/Placement of Memorial Rocks
Frates reported the Tumage and Spracher memorial rocks for Leif Hansen Memorial
Park were approved by Council. Frates added, any future requests would be presented
to Administration who in turn will present them to the Parks & Recreation
Commission.
Discussion took place on the rock placement proposal included in the meeting packet
to include the policies and procedures.
Commissioner Sandahl introduced Dr. Hansen and explained he was invited so he
could tell the Commission what the original intent of the Left Hansen Memorial Park
was. Dr. Hansen advised the original intent was for the Park to be a living memorial
park where live trees and/or shrubs would be planted and would serve as a living
memorial to those who passed on. Dr. Hansen added, the cemetery is the place for
stones, markers, etc.
Discussion took place on memorials for large groups such as the Homesteaders,
Veterans and Mariners. It was noted the Leif Hansen Memorial Park would be an
appropriate place for large group memorials.
Extensive discussion followed, including the memorial wall concept introduced by
Mayor Williams, the water fountain plaques and stepping stones. Hansen suggested
colored or red bricks be used around the water fountain in an effort to bring more
focus to it. Concern was also expressed by Hansen that the rocks in Memorial Park
could provide a hiding place for vandals.
Wisniewski stated the Commission and the City should be flattered at how well the
Park had been received and as a result the Commission should listen to the needs of
the public. Wisniewski added, so far the memories placed in the Park had been done
in good taste but he also agreed there was a need to limit the number.
Frates pointed out that consideration needed to be given to future expansion as it
wouldn't be long before the current space would be completely utilized. Commissioner
Sandahl referred to the Park policies and procedures included in the meeting packet
and made the following motion.
MOTION:
Commissioner Sandahl MOVED that the following items be added to the policies and
procedures for the Park:
6. Fountain development;
7. Plants as living memories;
8. Identify areas on the plot plan for large group memorials nothing these
would also require approval from City Council;
9. Memorial wall project, it's location and the size of plaques it would hold.
Would be the current Item 6 which states, No miscellaneous items, i.e., trinkets...
Commissioner Sandahl added to the motion that Director Frates would include these
in the policies and procedures and will present it at the next meeting. Commissioner
Gifford SECONDED the motion.
During discussion of the motion Commissioner Sandahl stated the City should go back
to the original intent of the Park and if the cemetery is too full then a new area needed
to be sought. Commissioner Hultberg thought benches and more trees should be
added to the Park and didn't think rocks equated to a cemetery. Hultberg added he
has no problem with the Park with the rocks and additional items.

ITEM 6:
NEW BUSINESS
Discussion-- 2001-02 Ice Rental'Fee/Kenai Multipurpose Facility.
Frates reported there was a proposal to increase the ice rental fee $85.00 per hour to
$95.00 per hour included in the packet. Nate Kiel was present to encourage the
Commission to endorse the increase due to the improvements made and the
guarantees for constant ice. Kiel added, the rate was still lower than other facilities on
the Peninsula.
Discussion followed and Commissioner Baxter stated he didn't think the rate increase
was justified just because of the improvements, especially since this was the second
increase in two years. A review of the bookings for the year was made and what the
estimated cost was for keeping the refrigeration system going.
MOTION:
Commissioner Hultberg MOVED to increase the ice rental fee to $95.00 and
Commissioner Gifford SECONDED the motion.
