MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> 4. Sibley Lake Park — Dog Park Update <br /> Commissioner Gibbons reported that he had spoken with Sheridan Wilson <br /> and she had received two quotes for fencing. Miss Wilson plans to attend <br /> the next City Council meeting to provide the Council with information. <br /> 5. Splash Park Update <br /> Commissioner Nagel stated he needs to obtain accurate cost information <br /> for a bathroom. The Splash Park cannot be located in front of Snap <br /> Fitness as there is not sufficient room; it could possibly be located further <br /> west. Research would need to be done for water and wastewater lines <br /> and right-of-way. <br /> People have commented that a Splash Park would be helpful establishing <br /> Pequot as a destination. Princeton and Royalton both have them and <br /> Princeton stated it was the single best thing they had done. Water <br /> conservation is clearly important and can be accomplished with push <br /> buttons on timers. Royalton has push buttons on each segment rather <br /> than having water run all the time. Playground facilities could be placed <br /> adjacent to the Splash Park. Grants could help with the costs along with <br /> private donations. <br />
