5. General Business and Reports
5.1. Concrete installation update – Dave contacted two concrete companies and has
not received any call backs, they are quite busy right now. Katie offered to
contact a few more. The suggestion is to focus on the entrance area since the
funds are low, additionally, concrete for pavilion will require specific criteria.
5.2. Shelter – pricing and delivery – Yardistry offered a 12’x14’ shelter for $1340.00,
which is 50% less than at Costco or lumber yard, however that does not include
delivery from Mt. Forrest. Ultimately, considering the proposed extension at the
small dog end of the park, only the pavilion in the large dog area should be
going ahead, the second will wait until it is determined whether the extension
can happen. Additionally, there isn’t enough money for the second pavilion in
this year’s budget.
5.3. Perimeter path – this project will wait until 2022 due to budgetary constraints.
5.4. Location of additional trees – W ayne would like to see more trees planted, this
will also likely happen in 2022 due to budgetary constraints.
5.5. Memorial tree update – there is no update at this time, the RCP department is
looking at options and will provide an update when a decision has been made.
5.6. Directional signage update – this project has no update, still in the hands of
Economic Development design team.
5.7. Additional lighting update – the park is dark with just the couple of lights at the
entrance, as a long term goal the committee would like more lighting added.
5.8. Pooch Plunge – this event is back this year at the water park on September 27th.
Information on event is difficult to find – Margaret will discuss with marketing
team and provide links to the members.
5.9. Park extension – W ayne met with Mel Getty, Chair of the Memorial Park
Revitalization committee to discuss the proposed extension of the area. There
are plans fro park development on the East side and some for next to the
Kiwanis diamond, therefore only the W est end is a possibility, a smaller section
than hoped. The small dog area is not well used. The MPRC will meet later this
week, but the indication is that this is a long term project as the committee has

some other priorities to determine. An update will be provided as it is
communicated.
