Staff Report:

City Manger, Randy Ealy started by discussing the budget.  Total revenue so far this year for park fees and reservations totaled  $3,600, last years totals were $14,000.  The parking situation and the electricity problems at Timber Park were discussed.  Commissioner Weikum volunteered to attend the meeting at the Public Works building on 02/27/03 at 11:00 am where there was going to be a discussion about the electricity being upgraded at Timber Park.

 

Phase I and Phase II of the Master Plan were discussed.  Trying to obtain grant money to fund Phase II was also discussed, but due to time constraints did not seem feasible for the funding of Phase II.  Commissioner Kowaleski made a motion to recommend to the Estacada City Council to move forward with the funding of Phase II of the Master Plan using the S.D.C money  in the approximate amount of $14,000.00.  Commissioner Peterson seconded this motion.  All in attendance agreed.

 

A work session was scheduled for Saturday, March 8th. to look at Wade Creek Pond, the possibility of setting up an Earth Day clean up and the writing of grants.
