    Silver Lake Commission September 2, 2020 5:30 PM / Via Webex Meeting * DRAFT * Members On the Call Others On The Call Tricia Arndt Carolyn Courtney, COD Parks & Recreation Staff Zach Carter Andrew Howard, Environmental Scientist, DNREC Robin Eaton Andi Riggi, Asst. Planning Director, Kent County Public Works Marie Kozel Michael Lewis WELCOME & CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 5:31 PM. MINUTES The minutes were presented for approval, Mr. Carter motioned with a second from Mr. Lewis to accept as presented was passed without objection. KENT COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS, SEWER MAIN UPDATE The County’s contractor George & Lynch has completed the installation of the sewer line from Silver Lake Park to the end of Oak Lane and testing occurred today. Next week, George & Lynch will begin reconnecting the ends of the new pipe to the old and begin restoration. This will include the removal of the silt fence in the park area near Kings Highway NE and E Division St. Last week George & Lynch started working behind Legislative Hall to slip line the failed portion of the sewer force main from the north side of Martin Luther King Boulevard behind the DelOne Credit Union to E Water Street. This work is schedule to be completed in September. Mr. Riggi, then asked if there were complaints about their presence in the park, as he had not heard from anyone in that regard? The Chair replied that she was not aware of any, as did Ms. Courtney. The Chair asked about the manhole at Kings Hwy? Mr. Riggi noted the work hasn’t been scheduled yet. Mr. Carter asked about the roadway going into Silver Lake Park going to be paved or anything (Lewis Mill Drive)? Mr. Eaton the county really hasn’t been on the roadway. I agree it is in bad shape. It is a city street and falls under the streets division. I will discuss with Sharon Duca the Public Works director to see where it falls in the priority level for paving. Mr. Carter noted the first parking area is really falling in. The is probably CTF funding from the state on for this. Mr. Eaton agreed to look into it. PARKS PROJECTS AND MAINTENANCE CREW UPDATES/PARKS & PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Mr. Eaton inquired as Items 4 and 5 on the agenda, should we do these as one? Ms. Courtney noted with the change in city structure addressing these as one item combined is appropriate. Mr. Eaton reported new lighting on east side of Silver Lake, done with our Electric Department. All is underground now, with fiber ran to the boat ramp camera. I am confirming if the cameras are active yet or not. Once I hear back, I’ll share. I know fiber is definitely to east side and the west side now has receiving box for what I believe is fiber for that camera. The volleyball court is complete. Matt Harline, Asst City Manager signed the U of D agreement to work on the beach project. They have reached out to us with some questions, I sent some of this over the Mr. Howard at DNREC for his input as well. We’ll be sending that back. They are excited to be working on the project. The Chair asked about a timeline. Mr. Eaton replied no, but we had a slight delay on our end. Once the plan is ready, we will have it presented to the commission for review. Mr. Eaton noted the benches that we discussed last meeting, the void in benches is where we do not own the property, (the sink whole area) that area is not city property. We can’t put a bench there. On the west side, we only have a few there. I may look at adding more there on the west side. The crews were able to get debris out to corner at Walker Road/State Street some tires and other junk. During the draw down in October we hope to get in there and do more. We are looking at the Washington Street entrance on the left and the right, obviously the fence on the right is our and in the park, I understand the left side the homeowner at 101 Washington Street put the fence up to deter people from coming thru

    their property. They have now put up a nice vinyl fence and the picket/split rail looks bad. I’d like to take it down but I’m having trouble making contact the property owner. Mr. Carter noted I have talked to them several times in the past but they may not live there any more, their last name was Brown. No, the current home owner is “Martin”. Ms. Kozel noted family took over the property as she has tried to introduce herself. I think the mom does live there in the garage apartment and she’s the one I usually see at the property. The next thing I’m just going leave my card and ask them to call me. My guess is they wont care if we remove the picket fence. It’s looks a mess and we’d like to clean it up. Ms. Kozel apologized for joining a little late. Then inquired about the volleyball court, when will it be completed. It looks pretty close. Mr. Eaton noted it is done and the nets were up as this morning. Ms. Courtney went back to the U of D Coastal Design agreement, noting deliverables can be expected in late fall. So at the time, we’ll here the plan on the city level and determine the next steps bringing before this commission. Ms. Courtney noted, the contract now executed would be shared with the members. NEW BUSINESS The Chair asked about an event on August 23, a rally or something? Ms. Courtney noted we did not permit anything/event for that date. It was noted permits are required for events and large gatherings with in the park. The Chair asked about a fall clean up? We have done them with the water draw down. Mr. Eaton noted it is certainly an option, I think once the lake goes down we see more stuff on the beach. We are fairly well staffed and we are keeping up more frequently. The Chair noted the last few were not well attended and with COVID, it may again not be well attended, so would like to put out the group. With brief discussion, the agreement was to hold off for now. Ms. Kozel noted she’d be happy to do one with just the commission and few extra hands would be good. Mr. Lewis agreed and noted he try to bring his wife as well. Mr. Carter noted he’d be fine and would try to recruit…if the U of D is working on the beach we should not be working there. Waiting ‘til spring would be ok, too then we could highlight the volleyball court and work done on the beach. The Chair said she would put out a doodle pool about a date for the cleanup in coordination with the draw down. ADJOURNMENT With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:25 PM.
