Park Board Minutes <br /> August 14, 2014 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The Park Commission suggested some type of fencing between the playground <br /> and the Highway. Mike Loven stated he would look into fencing styles and costs. <br /> Chair Malecha stated that she would like to submit a grant application to the DNR <br /> for a splash park. She noted that the grant could include the playground, the <br /> restroom and the splash park. She explained that the playground and splash <br /> park could be used for the 50% matching funds. The deadline for the grant <br /> application is in January. Discussion took place regarding the timing of the grant <br /> awards and the timing of completing the playground equipment. Mayor Adams <br /> noted that the donors want the playground done as soon as possible and no later <br /> than May 1 of next year. Chair Malecha stated she would make a phone call to <br /> the DNR to see if she could find out when the grants would be awarded. If they <br /> are awarded prior to May 1st, she would pursue the grant for the splash park. If <br /> the grants are awarded after May 1st the Park Commission would move forward <br /> immediately on the playground equipment. <br /> The Park Commission requested Mike Loven to look into signs for the dog park, <br /> Dru's Garden, Bean Hole Days, and the Playground. Bronze signs were <br /> suggested as they would hold up better than wooden signs. <br /> 6. Trailside Park Plan <br /> The City Clerk handed out a revised Trailside Park Plan. Dawn Bittner provided <br /> an update on the changes in the plan from last month.
