Park Board Meeting <br /> Monday, March 2, 1992 <br /> Ken Johnson asked if the park board should appoint another liaison <br /> to the joint meeting seeing that Bill Nissen has been replaced on <br /> the park board, or would he be interested in continuing as the <br /> ?liaison Marty Asleson will contact Bill and find out. <br /> Candi Toffoli asked about cross country ski trails at the golf <br /> course, will they continue to keep the golf course open for that? <br /> Don Volk added that the county does plan on keeping the club house <br /> as a trail head. <br /> There was also discussion regarding county funding and the budget. <br /> Marty Asleson explained that the Regional Park is funded by the <br /> Metropolitan Council and Bunker Hills is a county funded project. <br /> He reports that there is a substantial amount of money available <br /> for these projects. Don Volk explained that there are certain rules <br /> and criteria that have to be followed in order to receive certain <br /> funding. <br /> Shores of Marshan Lake Update - Marty Asleson reported on the <br /> progress of this development to this point. A letter was sent to <br /> ,M., the seller of the buildings agreeing to the price offered. This is' <br /> ready to go to the council now. Marty explained that we are not <br /> dealing with the developer because he had already sold the <br /> buildings before we were aware they could be purchased, but the <br /> seller is being fair about the purchase price. Don Volk says this <br /> item hasn't been to the council yet because of their busy agenda. <br /> The seller is being kept up to date and he knows our intentions to <br /> purchase. <br /> Picnic Shelter Costs - At the last park board meeting there was a <br /> discussion about the purchase and construction of a large picnic <br /> shelter. Included in the packets for this meeting were prices on <br /> different styles and amenities that Marty Asleson had researched. <br /> There was a discussion comparing wooden structures to concrete. Ken <br /> Johnson suggested this item be placed on a future agenda after we <br /> get a feel for what the comprehensive plan calls for. John Bauman <br /> asked that when we do that, if we could get prices that would <br /> include shelters with attached buildings - storage/bathrooms, etc. <br /> Insurance Claim Adjustment - Marty Asleson explained the background <br /> of this agenda item. Some time ago the Lions Club had a public <br /> address system installed at Sunrise Park. About two summers ago <br /> this system was hit by lightening and severely damaged. Marty <br /> Asleson then went to the Lions Club for help to pay for the <br /> damages, he also submitted a claim to our insurance company. The <br /> insurance company reimbursed us for repairs, as did the Lions club. <br /> The Lions donated $3000. 00. So the intention is to use it to <br /> upgrade some fences and other things needed in the park. Marty <br /> 4 <br />
