May 20, 2019 -6:30 pm
Birno shared that the funding identified in the Park CIP for the proposed community garden and off
leash pet exercise area may not be enough if the project is approved to move forward. This would mean
other projects scheduled for replacement/updates in 2020, may not be completed due to the need for
additional funding for the Medley Park proposal. Lundstrom noted we would have estimates for the
proposed improvements ready for discussion at the October meeting.
Commissioners also asked about the possibiiity of a splash pad in Golden Valley. Birno noted he had
been told there are no plans to discuss the addition of a splash pad in the Golden Valley park system.
Commissioners asked about improvements needed for the golf course. Birno said the golf CIP is a
different budget area and the commission would be discussing the golf course operation/CIP at the June
meeting.
