Mrs. Liljedahl will handle the contest and bring the entries to the Council so they can select the winning entry. Sunset Oaks The Council has asked the Park Board to determine what equipment would be needed in the first tot lot to be included In the Sunset Oaks Plat. Mrs. Anderson had checked the minutes of the final hearing on Sunset Oaks and it was deter- mined that the developer should have established an escrow for 10% of the assessed market value. In further reviewing the plat the members could not determine the location of the ,`free parks. Mrs. Liljedahl moved to have the Clerk write to the developer and ask him to define the designated park areas that will be the two tot lots and the one park area for ballfields. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. Motion declared passed. Mayor Karth asked the Board if they had received a map of the park that is located on 7th Avenue off of Birch Street.

Mayor Karth told the Board that wood chips by the simi-truck load could be bought from Webster Lumber located in LaCrosse, Wisconsin. There is an outlet in Wayzata. Transportation would probably be the only cost. Mr. Resch felt wood chips could be placed under bleachers and other areas difficult to mow. The Centennial Hockey Association had sent a letter to the Park Board requesting a second hockey rink at Sunrise Park. Mrs. Liljedahl felt this would be difficult to provide at this time. Vandalism and rink use was discussed. Mayor Karth suggested building a good rink and fen- ,o­4ng it and charge rental .
