Park Board 1J,?y 2f 298.3 Page Two Chairman Johnson asked if there is some type of an entrant fee that would go back into the maintenance of the track? Mr. Klienhaus said most tracks do charge an entrance fee, the expenditures would be for the trophies , the sattelites , and various minor items . He suggested that a para-medic be present just for safety . He felt this would not be a money making operation. Mr. Volk pointed out .this track will take up a lot of park area . There will be a need for proper materials to construct this park. There should also be some sort of barrier to divide this track from the re- mainder of .the park. Sunrise and Lino Parks were discussed. Mr. Klinehaus felt that Lino Park would serve and would not disturb the play area already in the park. There was also consideration of how this affects the City Insurance - is there a need for additional insurance or does the City now have sufficient coverage? Mr. R. Jahn,(bn asked which of :the two designs that had been presented, did he prefer and Mr . Klienhaus said, that most of the kids that had looked at these designs , preferred the ' L ' shaped track. He also felt Lino Park would be the best place to locate this track. The only problem is the small parking lot. 1� There was a question as to how this track is monitored during the week and Mr. Klienhaus said that during the week this track would be open for use all week. The equipment used in racing would be removed. Mr. R. Johnson moved to recommend to the Council that Mr. Klienhaus be allowed to present this idea to them for consideration and that Lino Park be used for the location of this facility . Seconded by Mr . Scherer. Motion carried unanimously . Mr . Lindy had arrived. Mr. Volk suggested, that since this Park is a project of the Lions ' Club , Mr. Klienhaus should contact that organization for their feelings on that use of this park. The Park Board requested that this matter be put on the Council agenda for May 9 , 1983 and to also check the insurance. PUBLISHING A MAP OF CITY PARKS IN QUAD PRESS Chairman Johnson said from the results of the surveys that have been returned, it is indicated that this would be worth while. It was suggested that an article accompany this map noting the facilities that are available in each park. Mr. Volk was asked to put something together for this and present for publication , to include the undeve&oped park areas . It was also suggestec that local tot lots not be included.
