BMX TRACK UPDATE Mr. Neil Schult appeared before the Board with an update on the status of attempts to reorganize the BMX track and the insurance issue . He reported that there has been a reorganization of leaders for the BMX track . Those leaders are presently working on a fund- raiser to help pay for insurance for the BMX track and they feel that the association will be self-sufficient after the insurance is taken care of. He also reported that the association has made ar- rangements for insurance coverage that will be 24-hour/day liability coverage ($1 ,000 ,000) , with the City named as the second insured party. A certificate of insurance will soon be forwarded to the City. Chairman Johnson thanked Mr . Schult for this update and asked to be kept abreast of BMX activities . DENNIS ERICKSON BUILDERS PRELIMINARY PLAT - PARK DEDICATION Mr. Arnie Ficocello , (representative for Dennis Erickson Bldrs . ) , and their engineering consultant presented to the Park Board their plans with regard to park dedication within the proposed plat for development south of Birch Street . The plans called for 3 . 8 acres of land to be dedicated for park purpose as satisfaction of park dedication . This 3 . 8 acres (approx- imately 100 of the land to be developed) will be in the southeastern corner of the plat and provide adequate space for a hockey rink and ballfield. The developer and the Park Board felt that this park would be a "neighborhood" park rather than a "community" or "regional" park. Mr. Ficocello stated that Dennis Erickson is considering a "phase two" development to the immediate south of this plat , in which case it is possible that park dedication land could be acquired just adjacent , creating a connected , central park for the two develop- ments . The developer (per Mr. Ficocello) plans to bring the 3 . 8 acres to an appropriate grade for park purposes . Any further develop- ment of the actual park , or any equipment to be added would be the responsibility of the City , as would be the maintenance of the park .
