Park Chair David Steele, Park Commissioners Adanene, Ames, Blackford,
Booher, Bouthilet, Bruchu, Dunn, Larson, Wagner
Mayor Johnston called the workshop to order shortly after 6 PM. He explained that the purpose of
the workshop was for the city council to get information on the park plan and to give input into the
plan prior to having it come to the city council for approval. He explained that the workshop also
provided an opportunity to discuss the park commission's workplan.
Chair Steele explained the Park Commission's role in working on a comprehensive park plan.
He introduced Richard Grey and Berry Farrington, park planning consultants.
The consultants described the key aspects of the park plan.
In response to input and ideas from the city council, the Commissioner Steele and the council
agreed that all input following the meeting could be emailed to Commissioner Steele for his
consideration and inclusion. He will, then, bring this input back to the park commission as they
finalize the plan and move it forward to the planning commission and to the city council.
A wide variety of park and open space related topics were discussed. Of particular note is the
role and fit of an athletic complex in the Village area as identified on the masterplan with 25
acres. The consultants explained that it is estimated that the city needs 8 fields, of which two are
existing, they described some of the locations. The city council discussed that these locations will
be revisited to make sure that there is not too much noise, traffic, parking and disruption created.
The future role of Sunfish Lake park was also discussed.
The 2007 work plan was discussed.
- the completion of the park plan
- the implementation of some of the trails in the trail plan
- Sunfish Lake Park being dedicated to the Land Trust for future protection as a natural
resource
- review of existing parks for future development needs and opportunities
o including returning with a neighborhood park planning process for Height Park

Mayor Johnston concluded the workshop shortly after 8 PM.
