Absent, Foster, Sears , Crouse . Mr. Shaughnessy moved to approve the minutes of August 4 , 1980 as pre- sented. Seconded by Mr. Johnson . Motion carried unanimously . The first item on the agenda was the request for the use of the Warming house at Sunrise by the JC's by Mr. Christenson . This would be set up as a haunted house for the Halloween weekent . Mr. Christenson was questioned about insurance and he said the JC 's have insurance that would cover all aspects of :this proposal . Mrs . Liljedahl asked if there is hockey equipment stored in that build- ing at this time? She felt that Mr. Christenson should check with Mr. Volk on this matter. It was generally felt that perhaps this equipment could be moved to the garage for the few days the JC 's are requesting to use the building. Mr. Christenson assured the Park Board there would be adults for supervision and they plan to have an off duty policeman there, if possible. Mr. Shaughnessy moved to recommend approval of this request with the following stipulation; 1) the storage of equipment in the garage -cleared Seconded by Mr. Scherer. Motion carried unanimously . Doris Sullivan, the person preparing the Sunrise and Country Lakes Park plan presented what she has to this date . She said she had done very preliminary work and presented maps to show what had been done to date. The areas where trees should be planted-some area of shrubs - the sites for future tennis courts , horse shoe courts . There was a question of the closeness of the trees to the first and third base lines . Mrs . Sullivan suggested perhaps , in order to keep this a informal park, a berm could be constructed on those base-lines . She emphazied this is a very preliminary plan . Most of the things suggested on this map are suggestions , not necessairly recommendations . There was also the suggestion of plating evergreens around the hockey rink to provide protection for the ice and provide a wind break for the skaters . There was some discussion on the possibility of some sort of soccer or football field - not for playing - just for scrimmage . This would mean some changes in the suggested planting - but Mrs . Sullivan did not feel this would present a problem. There was also discussion on the parking as outlined - is this enough? is it too much? What areas need the most? should there be formal walk paths? Someone suggested leaving the grass , if there are to be paths , the people will use the areas and then the surface can be put down . it was felt the South parking lot should be able to hold 25 to 30 cars . The center lot not so many - this lot has room for expansion if needed. Mrs . Sullivan suggested some sort of climbing facility to encourage day time use of the park.
