Park Commission Minutes <br /> September 10, 2020 <br /> Page 2 <br /> ------------------------- <br /> Bittner reported Todd Knutson removed the picture that was not painted by a <br /> student August 31. <br /> Discussion ensued how to ensure waivers for new art are completed and <br /> returned to the City. Commissioner Churack volunteered to annually inventory <br /> the pictures and confirm the pictures are appropriate and waivers are completed <br /> and are on file at City Hall. <br /> 6. Lightinq of Betsv Ross Flaq <br /> Bittner explained the City had received a couple of complaints that the Betsy <br /> Ross Flag was not lit. After researching the issue, it was determined that this <br /> flag should be treated the same as the American Flag. The Betsy Ross Flag was <br /> part of the original request from the donor. The cost for a taller flag pole is <br /> $2,000, plus installation. The asphalt and cement base would need to be <br /> removed and replaced. Discussion ensued regarding lighting of the flag and it <br /> was the consensus lighting it should be the first step. If necessary, the pole can <br /> be replaced at a later date. <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Commission to inform the City Council that the <br /> City received 2 complaints, the Park Commission wasn't aware the Betsy Ross <br /> Flag needed to be treated like the American Flag, and that the Park Commission <br /> is having the flag lit. <br /> 7. Bean Hole Fence Art <br /> Chair Ronning contacted the School regarding students providing art for the <br /> fence, as well as the Pickleball Court, and was told at this point with the <br /> unknowns regarding COVID-19 and student attendance, the School is not <br /> interested in providing art for the fence or proceeding with a Pickleball Court. <br /> Bittner stated someone should contact Katie at the Chamber and work with the <br /> Bean Hole Committee to see if they have any ideas for decorations. Chair <br /> Ronning volunteered to contact the Chamber. <br /> Commissioner Johnson stated the owner of Faith Boost had contacted Jason <br /> Gorr, Public Works Director, regarding providing art for the fence. <br /> Commissioner Boucher suggested staining the fence in the spring. If a section <br /> needs to be replaced in the future, the stain will match the new section. If <br /> allowed to gray, a new section would not match. <br /> 8. City Park Evaluations <br />
