Project Status Report

Playground Equipment for Oak Creek Park

Mr. Stuber reported he and Ms. Fletcher, the Public Information Officer for the City, had met with a group from Oak Creek about their neighborhood park. The homeowners asked for a basketball court and playground equipment for the park. Mr. Stuber gave them some suggestions and some catalogues to look at and they will meet again. He asked for their help in curbing the vandalism and taking care of the park and they seem receptive to the idea.

Fourth of July Festival

The staff reported that the festival was well attended. We offered a shuttle bus service from the Casey Center to the Municipal Center this year for the first time and we hope this idea catches on and helps alleviate the parking situation.

New Business

Recreation Report:

Mrs. Heiselman updated the Commission on All-Star tournament play. We’ve had several teams advance to state play and one softball team is traveling this week to Virginia for a regional tournament. The Booster Club is supporting the teams with money they raised in the candy bar fundraiser.

Mr. Terre commented that he didn’t think Foster Creek Park would be a good location to move the Farmer’s Market. Mr. Kennedy stated that he thought it would be an ideal location. Mr. Glass asked if we have enough farmers and shoppers and a suitable location to support a market in Goose Creek. Mayor Heitzler expressed his opinion that the demand for a market should drive the market.

The staff was asked to continue to evaluate the market and look for solutions for next season.
