Page -2- June 20, 1977 Mr. Gredvig and Mr. Schneider will get together with local residents to determine how they feel about a park. Mr. Ringaman moved to table this issue until the Board receives further input. Mrs. Lil - jedahl seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider suggested it might be a good idea to have a Park Board member as liason to the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Gourley, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board had felt some of the past decisions had not been in the best interest of the City and there should be more input from the Park Board. Mr. Ringaman agreed to be the liason to the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Schneider noted that the Park Board has not received a second bid from Mr. Mobley for reconstruction of the barn at Sunrise Park. Mr. Schneider noted that budget.time is approaching and the Board should bring in their thoughts as to what should be included in the budget. Mr. Gredvig noted that City parks are more suitable for organized sports and there is no- thing planned for the individual . He suggested a jogging trail around the Lake. Mr. Ringaman asked Mr. Schneider if he felt the budget will be going up this year. Mr. Schneider said he felt the Council would be very strict this year so that a cash reserve could be built up. Mr. Ringaman noted there is a parking problem at the north east corner of Sunrise Park. The public has been driving between the hockey rinks bypassing a fence to get to a picnic area. He feels there could be problems with the septic system and waterpipes. Mr. Gredvig suggested that Mr. Ringaman talk to Mr. Volk about cutting off traffic in this area. Mr. Ringaman suggested that a parking lot could be created at the north end of Sunrise Park by placing some railroad ties to mark the parking area. After further discussion, Mr. Ringaman moved to recommend to the Council that some ties be removed and placed to extend the parking lot as far as possible with these materials and that Mr. Volk stay within $200.00 of expenses. Mr. Scherer seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. La Motte Park The Clerk noted there is $750.00 in the budget for grading LaMotte Park. At one point the residents of LaMotte Drive had offered to maintain the area if the City would grade it so that it could be used.

Mr. Schneider will contact Mr. McLean about this matter. Mr. Scherer moved to adjourn at 9:35 P.M. Mrs. Averbeck seconded the motion. Aye.
