(This item was last discussed at the 11/86 meeting - see 11/86 minutes . ) PARK DEDICATION ORDINANCE Chairman Johnson also noted that the Park Dedication Ordinance was amended and approved by the City Council as prepared by the Park Board at their recent meeting, and the City Attorney.

Volk said he would review the plan further. The updated plan will be presented as a review/discussion item at the next Park Board meeting . Mr. Volk was specifically asked to return with cost estimates to complete the parking area for the east field at City Hall Park and to light the fields at Sunrise Park . Three items which the Board felt should receive attention possibly during the next few years on the CIP were 1 ) lights on the tennis courts at Arena Acres , 2 ) a well at Shenandoah to flood the skating rink or the purchase of a tank truck , 3 ) the addition of the parks for the proposed Erickson plat and the proposed Uhde/Regency plat . VANDALISM REPORTS None . OLD BUSINESS None . NEW BUSINESS Mr . Volk reported that at the recent "Strategic Planning Workshop" , the City Council and other attendees suggested that rather than have a Council member attend the Park Board and Planning Board meetings , that a Park Board member and Planning Board member attend a Council meeting each month to improve communications between the Boards and Council . Park Board members were in favor of this . The meeting adjourned at 8 43 P .M .
