Silber stated in her view this area <br /> could be utilized better, noting the trail is somewhat isolated. <br /> McDermott commented it would be nice to have some play equipment in this area as well. <br /> Ilse stated in her view this park could use some additional fill to help eliminate some of the wetness. <br /> Stubbs Bay Road - Fishing <br /> Ilse stated parking is a problem in this area, and expressed safety concerns due to the fact that <br /> the road is too narrow to allow a car to make a right turn safely. Ilse suggested the City consider <br /> making this area no parking or enlargen the roadway. <br /> Gappa suggested perhaps some curbing could be installed to help designate the roadway. Gappa <br /> noted there is only room for one or two cars to park by the lift station. <br /> Ilse stated there really is only room for one car to park in this area due to cars cutting the corner. <br /> Ilse suggested the City consider allowing parking for only one car in this area or erect no <br /> parking signs. <br /> List of Improvements <br /> McDermott stated he will incorporate the commissioner's comments into the long-term plan for park <br /> maintenance and improvements for review by the Park Commission at their next meeting. <br /> McDermott inquired whether the plan should be presented to the City Council for their approval or <br /> whether this item should be discussed in a workshop setting. <br /> Gappa suggested the information be given to the City Council members for their review prior to the <br /> City Council meeting. Gappa stated an overall park plan is necessary as part of the City's <br /> Comprehensive Plan. Gappa stated some dollar amounts will also need to be assigned to the <br /> various maintenance and improvement items. <br /> Gappa stated he could perhaps put together some type of maintenance schedule on the various <br /> parks incorporating the recommendations of the Park Commission. <br /> (Commissioner White leaves at 9:30 p.m.) <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> 9.
