DISCUSS FIELD OPTIONS Chairman Butler gave an update of the joint meeting with the City Council. Chairman Butler spent some time going through the draft report with the Task Force and discussed some of the numbers as to the number of useable hours for an artificial turf facility. There was also a lot of discussion regarding possible locations of where artificial turf and grass fields could be constructed. Sites included City hall campus (possibly north of the community center) and Fox Meadows Park. They briefly discussed there may other properties around the City could have potential for a new park facility. After some discussion by the Task Force it was decided to direct staff to research with one of the artificial turf suppliers to see if there would be a savings to building 1 turf field versus building 3 turf fields and bring that information back to the Task Force for review and discussion at the next ® meeting scheduled for June7th. Also the Task Force was interested in the cost of a grass field also. © Artificial Turf /Dome Task Force Meeting Minutes — May 10, 2012 Page 2 OTHER BUSSINESS Staff reminded the Task Force that the next scheduled meeting will be Thursday, June 7t` at 6 pm.
