13) Old Business <br /> - Commissioner Popp wondered what the status of the fishing pier was. Director Bernstein said it <br />is still in process and we are waiting to hear. <br /> - Director Bernstein mentioned that he met with Bess Freeman, President of the East Hastings <br />Improvement Association, regarding Lake Isabel. Approval for the contract with Barr <br />Engineering to see what the next steps are regarding Lake Isabel is being sought at the City <br />th <br />Council meeting on March 20. Commissioner Schommer mentioned that he believes although <br />people know where Lake Isabel is, they misunderstand what it is, thinking it is a backwater. <br /> <br />-HHB Dryfloor: No update at this time. <br /> <br />-Skate Park Task Force Recommendations: A letter from Director Bernstein to Dave Osberg was <br />passed out for review by the NRRC. This letter has been revised slightly with a few minor <br />corrections. A full report will be sent to City Council. <br />MOTION: <br /> Commissioner Schommer motioned to accept the Skate Park Task Force’s <br />recommendations as written. Seconded by Commissioner Brown. Passed unanimously. <br /> <br />-Greten Park: Director Bernstein has had no further updates at this time. The proposal to add <br />playground equipment was removed from the City Council Agenda. The City Council did feel <br />however, that the NRRC did not disapprove the plan – they only moved it to a lower priority. It <br />is believed that there may be a petition by some of the residents or possibly attendance by <br />residents at an NRRC meeting. The residents are saying that the demographics have changed <br />since the park was built and that it is now inadequate. Commissioner Schommer questioned that, <br />since the park is only 3 years old. Director Bernstein feels the NRRC needs to develop a process <br />and/or criteria by which it can prioritize various parks’ redevelopment. Commissioner Vaughan <br />felt that it wasn’t so much an objection to purchasing the additional equipment, as it is an issue <br />of priorities. Director Bernstein reminded everyone that the costs involved are around $16,000. <br /> <br /> <br />MOTION to Adjourn. <br /> <br />Next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 11, 2006. <br /> <br />Adjourned at 8:25 p.m. <br /> <br />Minutes submitted by: Kristin Behrens <br />
