Call to Order - Approval of Agenda – Minutes - Other
Acting Chair MacDonald called the meeting to order at 7:10 pm. The 6/21 agenda and 5/17 regular meeting minutes were approved by
consensus.
Staff Reports
Recreation Services Updates
Recreation Services Director Markle reported on the following:
• Pool has seen record numbers and great season pass sales.
• Wood Lake summer camps and Playgrounds are all full.
• Farmers Market has seen very high attendance.
• Arena lease proposals are scheduled to go to Council in July.
• Items for Council study sessions: Community Gardens, Bike Park, Skate Park
• Tree planting in Donaldson will be the next liquor store roundup cause.
Discussion Items
Community Gardens
Markle reported on staff’s plan to construct community gardens in Richfield, one in each ward. She reviewed the history of the gardens that
were in airport land and issues that were encountered. She said that locations were chosen that would be accessible, sunny, wouldn’t conflict
with other uses, and could host water tanks. The three areas of land identified by staff: patch of unnamed park land on the west side, Fremont
Park, and Veterans Park. She said that only residents could rent a plot and they could do so at the Community Center.
Tennis Court Planning
Markle summarized the condition of the tennis courts in Richfield and the cost of maintaining and renovating them, as needed. She said that
the cost will occupy a large percentage of future capital improvement budgets. Members asked about user numbers, saying that some get
more use (Christian, Augsburg) and some get less (Fairwood). Markle said that surveys often indicate that people would like to see more green
space. Johanson asked about conducting some kind of survey to see how people feel about the courts. Markle said that some kind of online
survey could be conducted.
Action Items
Vice Chair Election
MacDonald said that she is moving out of Richfield, so she will be resigning from the CSC. She asked for a nominee for Vice Chair. Tessa
Johanson volunteered and was approved unanimously as Vice Chair for the remainder of 2022.
Recreation and Open Space Capital Improvement Budget
Markle reviewed the plan, which lays out how some liquor store profits will be spent on park-related items in a budget for 2023 and a plan for
the next four to five years. Hanson moved, seconded by Marx, to recommend Council approval of the Recreation and Open Space Capital
Improvement Plan. Approved, ayes all.
