Park Commission Minutes <br /> November 10,2016 <br /> Page 2 <br /> sign-up sheet, there will be an option for making an additional donation to the <br /> Parks. The City will order and install the plaque. <br /> When all benches have a plaque attached, new benches will be built with the <br /> requesting party paying not only for the plaque, but for the bench. Chair Ronning <br /> and Commissioner Adams recommend Option One be selected. <br /> When asked, Commissioner Adams stated CAPL will order and install the <br /> plaques. <br /> Chair Ronning stated the main difference in the two options is that CAPL can <br /> solicit funds. <br /> When asked who makes the decision on when and where the funds are spent, <br /> Commissioner Adams stated it would be CAPL. Dawn Bittner reminded the <br /> Commission that a recommendation needs to be made to the City Council; the <br /> Council makes the decision on how the funds are spent. Commissioner Adams <br /> stated CAPL would make a donation to the City and request the funds go to a <br /> certain project. <br /> Commissioner Pearson asked if people will be aware that part of the $250 in <br /> Option One will be spent on other projects. <br /> Dawn Bittner pointed out that someone who spent $250 for a plaque, may point <br /> out that the plaque doesn't look like a $250 plaque. How will we explain that only <br /> "X" was spent on a plaque and the remainder was placed in a Park Fund. <br /> Commissioner Pearson stated people could have an issue with this. <br /> Chair Ronning pointed out if someone is interested in a plaque, the cost won't be <br /> an issue. <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Commission that the City should not be <br /> burdened with this project. <br /> COMMISSIONER BRUCH MOVED TO RECOMMEND THE CITY COUNCIL <br /> APPROVE OPTION ONE FOR PARK BENCH MEMORIAL PLAQUES. <br /> COMMISSIONER BRYAN SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION PASSED 6-0. <br /> 5. Skateboard Park <br /> Chair Ronning and Commissioner Adams met with the students that had <br /> contacted the City with 4 families represented at the meeting.
