Flannery and P. Scherer. Mr. Schumacher was also present. Absent: Arntzson. The minutes from the February 7, 1983 Park Board meeting were approved as written. Mr. Schumacher gave the Park Board a brief review of the Parks Boards concerns for development of the Country Lakes Park. The City Engineers feasibility re- port listed areas to be addressed: 1. Silting of beach area, 2. shallowness of the lake Mr. Lou Jambois from the Energy, Planning and Development Department of the State of Minnesota was present to give the Board his statements on his findings of the City Engineers feasibility report. Mr. Jambois had contacted Twin City Soil Ex- ploration and they did not feel that silting would be a problem. Also since the beach will have to be dredged the dredge spoils can be sold to adjacent subdivis- ions for top soil. The original grant for the Country Lakes Park was granted under SCORP guidelines. The priorities under SCORP are; 1) boating, 2) swimming, 3) fishing. Since this city's application included all three of the priorities it was approved. Mr. Ray Johnson asked if the city could charge user fees. Mr. Jambois said yes. Mr. Jambois recommended the city install the beach and if after one or two years there is no problem with silting, then the bath house could be installed or built. Mrs. LeBlond asked if the Regional Park was taken into consideration when review- ing this city's application for the park grant. Mr. Jambois said yes, the city's park will not have the same uses as the Regional -Park, the use will be more local than area wide. Mr. Jambois said the State will need a letter from the Park Board on their intent- ion regarding the development of Country Lakes Park especially if the Board plans to deviate from the proposed development, for instance, put off the construction of the bath house. Mr. Ray Johnson discussed the proposal to use interest from the Dedicated Park funds for the addition to the City Hall. Mr. Schumacher explained the uses and legal aspect of this use. The Park Board recommended that Don Volk, Public Works Administratmr order the seed and fertilizer to be used earlier this year in the parks. Mr. Ray Johnson moved to adjourn at 8:30 p.m. Mrs. LeBlond seconded the motion. Aye.
