The meeting minutes from February 12 and March 25, 2002 were accepted. 2. Skateboard/Inline Skate Park Report Members of the Skate Park Committee were unable to attend. Karen Simmons reported on their behalf. ?? The Committee has raised $5,000 in the past month. ?? A contract has been signed with Rontondi Construction. The insurance policy from Rotondi has not been submitted yet. As soon as it is on file, construction of the cement slab can begin. ?? The Skate Park Committee is comfortable beginning the process with the cement slab and two or three events. Karen Simmons has reminded the Skate Park Committee that they are required to appear before the Recreation Committee for approval of additional events and materials. Don Chisholm asked when it was anticipated that the Recreation Committee and Department would be comfortable releasing the additional money to the project. Karen Simmons responded that money could be released when the concrete slab is done and drainage issues are resolved. She stressed that this is critical to the well being of the track and softball field. Additionally, Karen Simmons told the Committee that it might be necessary to erect a protective screen near the softball field to preserve the safety of the users of the Skate Park. Members of the Skate Park Committee will attend the May Recreation Committee meeting to give a progress report.
