PARK BOARD November 4, 1985 Page Three PARK SIGNS At last month' s meeting, Mr. Volk was asked to report cost estimates for signs at Country Lakes Park and at Sunrise Park. Cost estimates for materials and hours of labor were submitted. The signs would be constructed from cedar lumber with brown stain and white lettering. The routing can be done with County equipment. In the past civic organizations have donated signs and it was felt that these organizations may be interested in doing so again. Mr. Volk agreed to contact the Circle-Lex Lions Club and ask if they prefer to have a written request submitted or a representative from the Park Board present the request . Should a representative be preferred, Chairman Johnson volunteered to present the request for any donations toward materials or labor for the sign at Sunrise Park. Should donations be made, "Donated by Circle-Lex Lions" will be printed on the sign. MOTION: In order to construct the sign proposed for Country Lakes Park, Mr. Ray Johnson moved to draw the necessary funds from the VFW 1985 donations. The sign would also say "Donated by VFW" . Mr. Nissen seconded the motion which carried unanimously. In both cases , the Board felt that the organizations should also receive a letter of thanks from the City upon completion of the projects. POLICE VANDALISM REPORTS - GATES ON SUNRISE PARK At last month' s meeting the possibility of installing gates at Sunrise Park to hopefully eliminate the vandalism problem was discussed. Primarily the vandalism has been cars spinning circles. This has been a frequent occurrence. Mr. Volk reported that gates have been ordered for the center and north entrances to Sunrise Park and they will be installed in the next couple of weeks. Mr. Campbell, Lino Lakes Police Chief agreed to make the locking and unlocking of the gates a police responsibility. The gates will be locked and unlocked as close as possible to closing and opening times. Should the Police Department be responding to a police call , the lock/unlock times may not be exactly on the hour. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN The Board hashed over the rough draft of the capital improvements plan which Mr. Volk had distributed some time ago. The results of the discussions appear within the rough draft attached to these minutes. This rough draft will ap pear ppear on next month' s agenda to be finalized. Mr. Volk will report at next meeting on completing 1985 capital improvements plan. A rotivator still needs to be acquired.
