7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />A. Review Park Improvement Plan: Discuss in October. <br />B. Review BBC Donations and Expenditure Status: Donations received for parks goes into the <br />Park Dedication Fund. Palm could not find record in the minutes of 2008 for Feb. and Aug <br />to determine what those funds were used for. DeBar will check on Resolution #7228 (Feb. <br />2008) and #7322 (August 2008) to see what the specifics were. Discuss at October <br />meeting. <br />8. NEW BUSINESS <br />A. Discuss City Forester Position: Rick Wriskey will not be available for city forestry services <br />beyond 2012, but will consult as needed, or for training a replacement. We currently have a <br />grant to remove ash trees on city property within a one-mile radius of the Shoreview <br />infestation, and replace with a different species. Consider combining the forestry position <br />with parks maintenance. Currently we have a licensed tree inspector on staff who is <br />considering getting an arborist certification. Wriskey was a certified forester. We could get <br />by without a certified forester, and have a licensed arborist/tree inspector perform the <br />needed duties. DeBar to discuss this with City Council next week. <br />B. Recommend 2012/2013 Winter Ice Rink Operations: Motion by Palm, 2nd by Kunz to use <br />the 2011-12 season operating plan and hours for the 2012-13 season. Discussion: The City <br />Council has not had any concerns about cutting operating costs for skating rinks. Motion <br />Passed 4-0. <br />C. Review 2013 Fee Schedule: Keep fees schedule as is. Service fee is not charged if there <br />are two groups on Saturday and another on Sunday when an on-call staff member has to <br />come and clean up garbage between the two Saturday groups, and again after the final <br />Saturday/before Sunday group. DeBar will remind MVCC about asking for group size and <br />charge the service fee. When does a party get their damage deposit returned? Is it after the <br />key is returned, or several days later once the clean-up is complete by city staff? Are we <br />collecting the lighting fee for softball fields? <br />9.
