PARK BOARD February 3 , 1986 Page Three for park purposes . Several responses voiced no interest in selling property and also the opinion that additional park property is not necessary. Mr. Rehbein stated that the City would probably receive a donation of approximately 18 acres . Mr. Volk felt that this would be adequate for a park. The Board recommended to Council that the Council work with Mr. Rehbein and assist in the necessary steps to bring this concept to a reality. The Board felt that the City Attorney and City Engineer would need to be involved in protecting the City' s interest . SIGNS FOR SUNRISE AND COUNTRY LAKES PARKS Mr. Volk reported that the signs for Sunrise Park and Country Lakes Park have been built and will be put up after the frost leaves the ground. He also reported that he has again approached the Circle-Lex Lions Club and informed them that should they be interested in donating funds toward the sign for Sunrise Park, that the Park Board would not necessarily need the funds immediately, but a commitment for sometime in 1986 . The Lions Club will be meeting and Mr. Volk will report back at next month' s Park Board meeting what decision the Lions make. SUNSET OAKS PARK DEDICATION Mr. Schumacher has been working with the City Attorney with regard to the outstanding cash dedication from Sunset Oaks . Mr. Schumacher was unable to attend this evening's meeting, therefore this item will be discussed at the next Park Board meeting. COUNTRY LAKES PARK Boat Launch - Mr. Lindy and Mr. Nissen toured County Lakes Park on snowshoes to find a most suitable site for a boat launch. They recommended clearing out a strip northwest of the beach area for a passive/carry-on launch site. Mr. Volk, Mr . Lindy and Mr. Nissen will report at the next meeting , a proposed plan and approximate cost involved. Dock - Mr . Volk brought a drawing of a proposed dock. The plan calls for heavy duty steel piping and 2" redwood bolted on to a SO' dock. Railings could be added for the deep end and as the law requires . The construction of the dock could be taken care of by the city crew. One of the city staff has built a dock of this design and would lend his experience . Mr . Volk stated that the costs involved are as close as he could estimate and that actual cost may deviate slightly from the $3 , 344 estimate. Mr. Sacco moved to accept the plans for the dock and have Mr . Volk instruct the city crew to begin construction. Ken Johnson seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
