being added to the Prairie Park picnic shelter and parking
lot. Administrator Robertson said he would have them added
as part of next year's park construction.
BMX Track - Administrator Robertson said that Councilmember
Struthers had suggested the City look at installing a BMX
track in Prairie Park and the City Council wanted the
Commission's opinion. Commissioners were in consensus that
they would not want a BMX track on the west side of the park
because it was reserved as a natural area. They also
thought a BMX track would need to be fenced off and have a
supervisor or it would end up being used by 4 -wheelers and
ATV's.
Swimming Pool - Commissioners discussed whether a swimming
pool should be constructed in the near future. It was
pointed a swimming pool is in the upcoming school bond.
Consensus was that a swimming pool would also need
supervision and would work best as a part of the future
community center.

Santa suit. The choir and photographer have been contacted.
Some additional people have volunteered to be Santa.
Everything is ready.
