VIII. Chair and Member Comments
• Chair McCormick commented all of the new signs at the parks look beautiful and are
easy to read.
• Commissioner Dahlien asked why some park signs do not have addresses on them. He
also asked if they came within budget because he noticed signs at Van Valkenburg and
the pickleball courts at Rosland Park and he doesn’t remember seeing those on the
original proposal. Assistant Parks & Recreation Director Faus indicated the secondary
set of signs do not include the addresses; only the main entrance signs include addresses.
In addition, they did come in under budget and did add a few signs that were
recommended to be added. She pointed out they did receive a donation for the cost of
the sign at the Mooty Pickleball Court.
• Chair McCormick asked who did the installation of the signs. Assistant Parks &
Recreation Director Faus indicated Geograph Industries installed the signs and the Park
Maintenance staff removed the old signs.
• Commissioner Good asked what is happening now that Tin Fish is gone and people are
now hearing that the golf course might not open next summer. He noted he has also
been asked if there has been any consideration in upgrading the clubhouse. Staff Liaison
Kattreh replied they just finalized a request for proposal today for a new restaurant
vendor; the goal is to have a new vendor in place sometime this summer. Staff Liaison
Kattreh stated at this time they do not have any additional plans to upgrade the
clubhouse.
