Members present: Resch, Ringaman, Liljedahl , Olson and Gredvig. Members absent: Averbeck, Scherer. Mr. Schneider Council liason and Mr. Volk were also present. Mr. Ringaman moved to accept the minutes of July 18, 1977 as presented. Mr. Olson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schneider's Report - Council meeting of July 25, 1977 Mr. Schneider stated he had moved to direct Mr. Gotwald to investigate the possibility of exchanging the lot owned by the City on LaMotte Drive for a lot without frontage. Mr. Schneider visited Mrs. La Fond who was not aware of the street easement along her prop- erty. A third bid is necessary for the repair of the barn at Sunrise Park. Mrs. Billik has turned her key to the facilities at Sunrise Park in to Mr. Cape. This creates a prob- lem with her residency there. Mr. Zelinka will contact her. At the budget hearing on August 11 , 1977 Mr. McLean requested .signs designating each park be included in the budget. Mr. Volk is checking the cost of these signs. Mr. Ringaman noted that the County Park system had requested drawings of our propsed bike- ways so that they can include them in the County bike way system which eventually will tie into the Metro bikeway system. . Volk explained his estimate of $5,255.80 for the repair of the hockey rinks at Sunrise nark. He felt repairing the rinks was a waste of time and money. The money could go a long way toward the purchase of one new rink. Mr. Volk also noted that the rinks were sprayed with a sterilant today to prevent vegetation. Mr. Ringaman said that the Board had promised major repair work in exchange for rink maint- enance from the Hockey Assn. However, at this time the budget has only enough money to upgrade the lighting system. Mr. Gredvig said it was obvious that two rinks double the cost of all maintenance and felt it would be beneficial to build one good rink. Mr. Ringaman said that the Assn. members he talked to felt one good rink would be adequate. Mr. Resch suggested ringing the inside of one rink with 4" plywood 2' up from the ground. He felt the electricity upgrading was a necessity. After further discussion Mr. Gredvig said that there is no way anything further can be done unless the City Council appropriates additional monies. Mr. Gredvig moved to recommend to the Council that they appropriate funds for one new hockey rink at Sunrise Park to replace the two that are there and or repair the south rink to last at least two to three years and upgrade the electrical system to State code and grade the base. Mr. Ringaman seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. �. Volk was asked to get an estimate on repairing the south rink and the electricity and ,,-ading and another estimate for building an entire new rink. He will have these estimates for the August 18, 1977 budget meeting. Budget Page-2- August 15, 1977 ^Upon considering Mr. Vo'I,k's proposed Park budget, Mr. Ringaman moved that if the upgrading if the south rink at Sunrise Park is not funded for this current year that funds be budget- ed for 1978 for upgrading or a new rink. Mr. Olson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gredvig moved that the Park Board recommends to the City Council that the $10,000.00, 72 car parking lot be paid for with general revenue or at municipal expense. Mr. Ringa- man seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Ringaman noted to Mr. Volk that at the new parking lot at the north end of Sunrise Park the strap is low enough for anyone to drive over. Mr. Volk said he would look at it. Also Mr. Ringaman noted that the outfield line marker is pulled outof the ground. Mr. Gredvig moved to recommend the budget as Mr. Volk proposed to Council with the except- ion of the parking lot and adding the hockey rink if it is not upgraded in 1977. Mr. Olson seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gredvig noted that the park dedication in Country Lakes is still in negotiation. Mr. Schneider noted that the Council may change the formula for computing money in lieu of land dedication on new plats. He will have more on this later. Mrs. Anderson showed the Board members copies of the plats Caroles Estates, Rohavic Oaks, and West Oaks of Bald Eagle. i-.�4ew Business Mr. Resch requested a key to the shop so that he could turn on lights during football practice.
