CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 5. 1985 Mr. Scherer moved to approve the minutes as presented. Motion seconded by Mr. Nissen. Motion carried. UPDATE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN The Board reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan and questioned several points. With the information collected from Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Volk, the following items were understood: Outfield fencing which was scheduled to be installed in 1984 was not installed. The figures on the 1984 C. I .P. were for plastic fencing. After some research Mr. Volk reported that the plastic fencing does not hold up and it is not recommended by those who have used it in the past . Therefore, he suggested that the 1985 plan call for metal fencing at a cost of approxi- mately $2 , 000 to $2,500 per field for outfield fencing; and approximately $600 more per field to include out of bounds fencing. The Board felt that Mr. Volk should collect actual quotes for the fencing and this item should be an agenda item again closer to the time that the fencing would be needed and could be installed. - There was approximately $54, 000 budgeted in C. I .P. for 1984 and approximately $50, 000 was spent . Mr. Volk reported that the actual versus plan for the C. I .P. and total budget fell very close in 1984. - Country Lakes Park - Mr. Schumacher reported that everything per the contract for development of the park has been completed with the exception of some miscellaneous cleanup. Basically this includes the entrance, parking, excavation on the beach, rough in of walking trails, seeding and mulching of park, and a gravel surface road. The dock will be constructed in the spring of 1985. There is no pad for launching boats , and the State did call a short time ago and talked to Mr. Schumacher with regard to the access to the lake . It is felt that the access as it stands now should be considered sufficient for now. The park is scheduled to be open to the public in the Spring of 1985. Mr. Volk agreed to research the City ' s liability for the park with the City Attorney , arrange for the proper signage for the park, and arrange for some bleachers and/or benches and beach supervision. LaMotte Park - the 1985 budget includes funds to grade and seed LaMotte Park.
