Board members in attendance were Candy Toffoli, Bob Williams, John Baumann, Ray Johnson, Ken Johnson, Bill Nissen and George Lindy. Staff in attendance were Don Volk, Director of Public Works, Marty Asleson, Superintendent of Parks, Rec and Forestry, and Carole Kohler, Parks Secretary. Consideration of Minutes - There were no additions or corrections to the December 5, 1990 meeting. The minutes were approved as mailed. Open Mike - Andy Neal, Councilman appeared under open mike w_ith Mrs. Hill, a resident in the Sunrise Park neighborhood concerning a problem her children seem to be having at the Sunrise Park skating rink lately. It seems that her children have been chased off of the pleasure rinks by other children who say they are scheduled for ice time. Marty and Don both addressed Mrs Hill. She was informed that there are ice time schedules now posted at the warming houses and that there '—N should be no priorities to anyone on non scheduled ice time. Also, that if a problem should arise at the rink, and it can't be handled, to call the police dispatcher and in turn they will reach either Don or Mart. Another concern of Mrs. Hill and Mr. Neal was that they think that the lights at the rink are on all night. Marty explained that the maintenance people start working at 4:00 AM to flood the rinks, and also the rinks are maintained and cleared at night after the rinks are closed, so it may appear that the lights are on longer than needed. However, he will look into the matter and see that the lights are not left on when they are not needed. Old Business: A. Wenzel Farms Property - Kirk Corson of Hokanson Development returned with his new park dedication concept for the Wenzel Farm Development. His new plan showed .9 acres of trail winding through the proposed area where the townhouses will be , going to the east and south down and around the proposed dedicated park area that sits at the southwest corner of the plat. This area would be 2.6 acres. Mr. Corson also showed photos of the proposed park land. ( The Wenzel Farms Property development will be a three phase development.) Ray Johnson stated that he was not convinced that this is the best area for a park as it seems to be so far away from the population density ,�• (approximately 1/3 to 1/2 mile) from the townhouses, PAGE 1
