Motion carried on a 7 -ayes, 0 -nays, 2- absent (Knox and Beggin) vote. DISCUSS FIELD OPTIONS Chairman Butler gave a brief update on the parcel that the City is interested in purchasing. After a lengthy discussion about the parcel that is being considered by the City Council and the need for additional fields to prevent overuse, the Task Force agreed that this parcel is to be the first option in developing additional fields. Motion by Bukkila, seconded by Kowalewski, to approve the following recommendations: Should the pending purchase agreement be finalized, the Task Force recommends the development of game quality fields at the new site. Game field options to be considered include seeding all fields, sodding one or more fields or installing artificial turf on one or more fields. Once the final field layout is approved, options on the combinations of playing surfaces will be presented to the Parks Commission and City Council to determine what should be included in the base bid and alternate bids. Should the land purchase not be finalized, the Task Force would recommend a turf ® facility on the city hall /community center campus. This could continue to be a viable option for future field needs. © Artificial Turf /Dome Task Force Meeting Minutes —June 7, 2012 Page 2 Task Force recommends that the Parks & Recreation Commission add one more multipurpose sports facility to the park dedication study as part of a long -term comprehensive plan.
