All Girls Soccer Program - 3rd/4th Grade There was much discussion as to whether or not we'd like to add 3rd/4th Grade All Girls Soccer.

Voting Yea: Lang, Scherbring, Goldsmith, Ungs, Kronlage, Oberbroeckling Motion Carried 8. Westside Playground Equipment Update Huehnergarth gave an update on the Westside Park playground equipment. The mayor has been working with a donor. There is a 75% probability that the donor will donate $250,000 - $300,000. The donor would like to stay anonymous at this time. They would like to make it a family legacy and have naming rights. They have contacted Boland Recreation to help with the design. Boland Recreation has done other work for us in the parks. (Kronlage left the meeting at 7:32 P.M.) 340 1st Avenue East, Dyersville, Iowa 52040 • Phone: 563-875-7724 • Fax: 563-875-8238 www.cityofdyersville.com  Goldsmith asked about the design that was previously presented to the council. Huehnergarth said it was not approved. The council thought it was a great idea, but they need more information and pricing. The commission is unsure if this donation will give us an all inclusive playground. There were questions as to whether or not the city would be able to contribute funds or if a fundraiser would be a possibility. Any of these plans need to be approved through the city council. The commission would also like to have some input into the design. In addition, Goldsmith said she already had a few possible donors for the sewer and other work. Would it be possible to do a work session so we can all be on board with this project and get some sort of time line for this project? Huehnergarth will inquire on this process. Motion made by Lang to close discussion on this topic, seconded by Oberbroeckling. Voting Yea: Lang, Scherbring, Goldsmith, Ungs, Oberbroeckling Motion Carried 9.
