Chair Stenzel asked for Commissioner comments. Commissioner Lackie asked if all parking lot needs are identified. Mr. Baumunk stated the heavily used parks have parking lots. The gravel parking lots are dragged once a month during the season. Chair Stenzel asked where additional parking would be at Prairie Knoll. Mr. Baumunk stated there is a gravel lot that could be paved and adding more trails. Parking is always an issue at that park. There is currently no paved trail at this time. Parking expansion will be looked at. Parking lot lighting will also be looked at including signage to direct users to additional parking. Fields of Winslow Cove East plan will be put together for this small park. It is a limited small green space. This park is currently not irrigated but hookup will be done with the development. Commissioner Honer asked if maybe just a bench would be appropriate or fitness trail. Mr. Baumunk stated there would most likely not be a playground. Tom Anderson Trail—Chair Stenzel asked about additional trails. Mr. Baumunk stated this is actually a park and would fall under what park dedication funds can be used for. Sunshine Park — Would the gazebo be upgraded with a restroom? Mr. Baumunk stated there are portable restrooms at that park. Upgrades would need to be looked at in the future. Regular Andover Park& Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes—March 6, 2025 Page 4 Sunflower field—Commissioner Lackie asked if this is a possibility. Mr. Baumunk stated would need to be a discussion Council at a work session,possibly the joint meeting in June. This would require extra staff time to manage even if a volunteer group wanted to participate. Chair Stenzel noted this CIP draft will come before the Park & Recreation Commission again for review. Mr. Baumunk stated he can start putting some prices together for the items listed. Commissioner Lindahl asked about the basketball court at Sunshine Park. Mr. Baumunk stated the asphalt may need to be replaced which would come out of the general fund. The other upgrades could be made with park dedication funds. Chair Stenzel directed staff to go ahead and start pricing the items. He encouraged the Commissioners to provide any ideas they have to Mr. Baumunk. Commissioner Dawson noted he has heard some requests for water type features (splash pad). Chair Stenzel also noted there had been talk about a performance stage area. Mr. Baumunk stated that is still being discussed along with the relocation of the public works building. Fox Park is a large, underutilized space. Commissioner Dawson asked if any of the parks have flower gardens or pollinator gardens. Commissioner Dawson asked if there are any other sources of revenue for the parks. Mr. Baumunk stated the Rose Park tower is the main source, but those fund can only be used at Rose Park.

Hours of operation will be as follows: Bathrooms will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (or dusk, whichever is earlier).

Mr. Baumunk will add to the checklist that photos can be taken after cleanup and submitted as proof of cleaning. To have food trucks at an event, City Code would need to be modified. City Council will be asked how this should be handled. Chair Stenzel stated for a private event he does not feel a special permit would be needed. Allowing alcohol during reservations at the shelter would need no be discussed further. THC drinks would also need to be addressed as well if it is decided to allow alcohol. Currently no alcohol or THC products are allowed in Andover City parks. Chair Stenzel asked about radios, recordings, DJs not being allowed.
