A lengthy discussion followed regarding the current facility and the desire to expand the gym facilities. It was noted the Boys and Girls Club facility lease was up in 2006 and they are currently looking for a new location. Councilwoman Porter noted the Boys and Girls Club would have access to many grants for the purpose of purchasing a new facility and discussion had taken place with them purchasing the City's recreation center. It was noted that if it is the desire of the Boys and Girls Club to make the purchase, they would need to approach the City with their idea. Discussion took place on the Boys and Girls Club and the City Parks Department sharing programs. It was agreed a needs assessment was required and Frates would begin that process by providing user data to the Commission at the next meeting. This data will include a breakdown by user groups, ages, and seasonal activities. 5-b.

Frates a/so provided overlay pieces that were placed on the map that depicts locations for the BMX bike area, soccer fields, skateboard park, baseball and softball fields. This gave the Commission an idea of what the proposed sports complex area would look like. After discussion, it was decided Frates would take the ideas back to Klauder who will prepare a few options to consider. Frates stated Klauder was volunteering his services and that he had included money in the 2003 budget for the project. ITEM 6' NEW BUSINESS Discussion -- Pole Decorations Commissioner Gifford stated she found some Christmas pole decorations on the intemet and will have that information available at the next meeting. She also reported she met with Director Frates, Mari/yn Dimmick and Councilwoman Swarner to discuss replacing the current banners.

Commissioners were encouraged to attend the Beautification meeting on February 12th. 6-bo Discussion -- Bridge at the end of East End Trail Sandahl reported two members of the community, Larry Porter and Jim Magee, had volunteered to build a bridge across the gully at the end of East End Trail if the materials are provided and City shop space is available for use.

I am a senior at Kenai Central High School. This letter is written in regards to my senior civic project. It is mandatory for each senior at Kenai Central High School to complete a project of at least nine hours that improves the community. I have many fond memories of Cunningham Park. One of my memories is going to the park with my dad and grandpa and just watching the fiver. During the spring we would often take in a little Hooligan fishing. I always felt it was one of the Peninsula's best-kept secrets since it didn't get visited frequently during the tourist season. Last year for part of our High School VICA chapter's community service project we cleaned the park in the spring. I have always enjoyed the freshness and cleanliness that Cunningham has offered, and it is my wish to keep it that way. I am interested in constructing a recycle bin for Cunningham Park. The Recycle bin I would like to construct will have three dividers for glass, paper, and plastic. I plan to make the bin out of painted plywood with a hinged back for emptying, and three slots in the front for the recycled goods. I could transport the bin to the park and set it up next to the restrooms. I would like to collaborate with you to confirm a plan with the Parks and Recreation committee for the collection of the recyclable goods. I look forward to working with you on this project and will be contacting you soon. Sincerely, Wally Ward AGENDA KENAI CITY COUNCIL- REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY/5, 2002 7:00 P.M.
