Park Board February 6, 1984 page two . Mr. Volk was asked to follow up on this matter. Mr. Arntzen moved to forward a formal request to the Council relating to the sale of this property and the disposition of the money from the sale . The Park Board requests a Council decision as to where this money would be dedicated. Seconded by Mr. R. Johnson. Motion carried unanimoulsy. SUNRISE PARK Mr. Volk reported on the sue of the park by the hockey teams and the pro- blems he had encountered with warming house attendents . There had been some problems with the scheduling for the hockey teams but this had all been worked out . There was discussion on the upkeep of the rink with MR. Volk noting that almost all of the flooding is done by the hockey association. Someone asked about the pleasure rink and Mr. Volk said sometimes the Association floods that riank also. Mr . Volk reported on the problem with the use of the phone at the Park. This phone is on a limited call basis and any calls made overthe alloted 75, the City must pay. The number of calls per month is running over 300 and this makes for a large phone bill at that location. Mr. Volk reported they are trying to solve this problem by locking the phone so it not so accessible. If this fails, then there is the possibility of having the phone removed which is not a thing to do. Mr. Volk felt that if one child is hurt and the phoen is needed, this would more than warrant the need for the phone . He will report on this at a later meeting. BIKEWAY SYSTEM The Park Board members had been supplied with a map indicating the traffic count along the City streets. In th eprocess of considering viable locations for a bikeway , Mr. R. Johnson suggested the stretch from Maudie ' s on the South to the intersection of Highway #49 and County Road #23 on the North. The feasibility of this was discussed in reference to the condition of the shoulders of this roadway. Mr. Volk explained the work that would be necessary to make this a feasible project . Mr. K. Johnson asked if there are any plans for upgrading Main Street and MR. Volk said he had talked with the County Highway Department last year and there was no definite plans that he could obtain at that time. Mr. R. Johnson asked about the procedure to desingate Biarch Street as a bikeway. He was told that first the City must obtain permission from the County . Once that has been done, thien it is just a matter of posting the area. On the subject of the grant , the Board felt the March 2nd deadline left very little time. Mr. Volk felt there was time to write the application for the grant with the current information. This can always be changed at a leter date, if the need arises.
