Park Board April , 2, 1984 page two - popular activities are being taken care of at this time, i .e. bicycling - an application made for assistance in creating a bike trail ; swimming - the beach being prepared in Country Lakes Park. There was a question on fishing with the Park Board noting that a boat launch and fishing pier will be built in the Country Lakes Park. Mr. Flannery said he would put together a draft summary of this survey and have for the Board' s consideration at the next meeting. This is to be an agenda item. LAMOTTE PARK UPDATE Mr. Schumacher had provided the Board members with a copy of Mr. Bill Hawkins ' s letter with his opinion on the saleability of that Park land. In his opinion it would be almost impossible to sell the land since this is dedicated park land on a plat . This gives the City an ease- ment to use this land for park purposes but the fee title remains with the owner of the land. If it is vacated, the title reverts to the owner or his heirs. Mr. Hawkins also felt that any sale of this land would need to be approved by all land owners in LaMotte ' s Third Addition. There was some discussion on the various possibilites of how this matter could be handled with no firm decisison. BMX TRACK - SCHEDULE AND NEEDS In response to Mr. Kleinhas request for assistance with the BMX Track, Mr. Schumacher had requested that he put his needs in a letter and this is what he received.

Mr. Flannery suggested that Item #3 be approved and Mr. Klienhans be asked to supply more specific information on Items #1 & 4, with a decision on #5 to be delayed for specifications. Mr. R. Johnson moved to approve Item #3 not to exceed $350.00. Seconded by Mr. Scherer. Motion carried unanimously. MR. Lindy moved to request more definite information as to cost on Items # 1 & 4.
