City park/church fence
- City is looking to replacine the fence between the church and Central Park.
Westwind Park
- LeRoy brought some plans he drew up for suggested improvements to Westwind Park. The
committee will consider the suggestions and discuss it further at the January meeting.
Parks update
- Oakside Park gazebo is complete, turned out nice.
- Four new boards were installed at the hockey rink. They had to be retrofitted. This is a trial
and more new boards will likely be added in the future if they work well.
- Merry-go-round: estimate to sandblast and powdercoat is $1,000. Tim suggests having the
merry-go-round in Four Seasons Park repaired to see how it turns out, and then consider also
having the one in Central Park, which is bent, repaired.
- There was more discussion about replacing the fence along first baseline at baseball field, with
consideration of adding a net to the top.
- Committee requests $150,000 for baseball field lights and other park upgrades, majority of
upgrades will be for Westwind Park. Albertville Lions have committed to help fund the baseball
field lighting project, and other sources have shown interest.
Next meeting: January 25, 8:00
