PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD None E. DIRECTOR'S REPORT 1. The fence is done to the point of the gates on each dugout which will be done as weather permits. The fence looks great and a good job was done by the installers. 2. The City Council awarded the bid for the pickup to Peninsula Ford who was the low bidder. The bids were awarded not only on the basis of money, but also on availability of parts and the options available on the pickup that were deemed necessary. Delivery will be in March. 3, The sauna contract was awarded to Eagle Construction who will do the installing for $1750 which is considerably lower than any other bids. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING Page 2 4. A quote will be submitted to the Council at their next meeting from Eagle Construction for installation of the hot tubs. So far, their quote appears to be lowest. The lockers came in today and will be installed soon. 5. Kayo McGillivrary gave his report on the Parks and Recreation meeting in Juneau. Kayo McGillivrary was elected to the state board of Parks and Recreation. There have been four meetings per year in the past and Mr. McGillivrary will probably attend two of them, one being in Fiarbanks and the other being the Northwest Regional meeting in Juneau. During the last two years, the Parks and Recreation board has been combined with community schools and slowly the Parks and Recreation board was making fewer gains. This year, they met separately and alot of good work was done as well as ideas shared, Kenai being a good example of inovative ideas. 6. There are now 12 -14 teams expected to play for the City League basketball. There is a problem with availability of gyms, but that will be worked out. 7. There are now 7 stack chairs with the rest on order and scheduled to come in soon. The coat racks were scheduled to be in by truck, however, they are being held up in Anchorage and will be here shortly. 8. The skating area was going fine at the fort, however, the weather has slowed things down a bit. 9. The drapes have been ordered; the sprinklers have been ordered; the aerator is waiting for a purchase order; the concrete outhouses are not going in as yet, mostly due to weather; and the information for the gym mats is on its way. 10. Sally Bailie asked if any progress had been made on getting some type of exhaust system for the equipment room. Kayo McGillivrary informed the Commission that Howard Hackney had looked over the system and as yet, nothing has been done. There will have to be more checking on what is feasible and how much money is available. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING Page 3 F. CORRESPONDENCE 1. A letter was read to the Commission from the Department of Transportation. A letter had been written to this department by the Commission asking for a working solution for maintenance of bike paths, etc., and this was the answer which was negative in nature. The Chairman, Dick Morgan, will draft a letter and present it for approval at the next meeting. 2. The title has been received for the Beaver Creek Park. G. OLD BUSINESS 1. Plans are to go ahead with the calls to Santa again this year. Last year was a great success. H. NEW BUSINESS 1. The Capital Improvement List was discussed at length. It was decided by the Commission to have a special meeting on Monday, November 16, for the purpose of having a work session to have recommendations ready for the Council work session. 2. John Van of Vanco Inc., is coming to Kenai for the purpose of looking at our parks and to make recommendations for the best possible use of the existing parks. He is a park planner and will be doing this service at no charge. 3. John Van will also be giving the Commission a cost estimate of the fitness trail and recommendations for the best use and layout of it. I. COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS Sally Bailie asked if the proposed gym would have an area for running, Kayo McGillivrary stated that it would. J. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted,
