Page Two Park Board June 1 , 1981 Mr . Volk agreed with Mr . Arntzen ' s suggestion . Mr . Scherer felt that since the ' pay as sold ' agreement had been allowed in other areas , it should be allowed here . Mr . Volk moved that the amount due be collected in three equal payments , payable at four months intervals , with the first payment due in four months from Council approval of the Park Board ' s recommendation . Seconded by Mr . Arntzen . Mr . Scherer asked, what happens if the land is not sold , does he get his money back? There was some discussion on this with no solid decision . The motion carried with MR. Scherer voting , No . DISCUSSION OF 1980 PARK BOARD FINANCIAL EVALUATION Mr . Schumacher asked to finish his discussion on the first item on the agenda . He had one more handout for the Board . This is a financial re- port of the Dedicated funds . The total balance at the end of 1980 was $101 , 520 . 03 . As of May 20 , 1981 the balance was $ 103 , 000 . 00 . Mr . Schumacher presented a copy of the budget for 1981 in the amount of approximately $30 , 000 . 00 . Mr . Schumacher pointed out this is for the daily operation of the parks and is separate from the dedicated funds which are are used for purchase of equipment and lands . These are two different funds and are used for two different puTposes He felt this should be made clear . Mrs . LeBlonde felt this is misunderstood by the general public and that when the discussion of spending large amounts of money in the parks is discussed , the general public gets upset . She felt there should be some way of clairfying this to the ?public . Someone felt that the reporter for the Circulating Pines should be contacted and this matter should be clarified . Dedicated Park Fund Balance 12/31/80 - $60,114.66; Interest received in 1980 was $11,119.37. Mtn SHENANDOAH HOLDING POND df �``r� `� ' a-,, The actual use of the holding pond in the Shenandoah Park was recorded in the minutes as public property, but the developer could use the area for a holding pond . Mr . Schumacher asked Mr . Volk if he had any knowledge as to how the storm water is to be handled in that development . Mr . Volk ex- plained there isAweir system set up for that area and there could be water in the ponding area after a rain storm . There was a discussion on perhaps draining this water to the low area in Shenandoah I near Birch Street . Mr . Schumacher pointed out this had been designed by Rice Creek Watershed Board and felt it would be very difficult to make a change . Mr . Arntzen asked, since there is drainage under Birch Street , why is this holding pond necessary? Mr . Volk said he really didn ' t know, this has all been designed by the RCWB . Mrs . Sullivan pointed out this system controls the amount of water that drains into the lakes , the rate it drains and the quality of the water . Mrs . Sullivan suggested making a smaller area deeper , which would hold the same amount of water, but would make a larger area usable for park purposes . Mr . Schumacher felt that by working closely with Mr . Rehbein , this could possibly be accomplished .
