agreement that would obligate the Bernins to sell the land to the City.The Commission requests that the Council include a payment of$5000.00. This money would help to cover the costs the Bernins will incur in their fact finding regarding selling the property. A memo to the Council will be prepared by Laurie McRostie. 6. Washington County paved the north side of 170th. The area is designed as a trail link from the old school to the Hardwood Creek Trail.

He was not appointed last year but will be contacted this year to see if he is still interested. 8. A special Council meeting is being held on Monday 12/13/99 to provide the Council with more information on the HHM land. The Park Commission is invited. Laurie McRostie shared the back ground and park plan that has been prepared. The Commission is open to discussion with the Council but is concerned about the physical properties of the land and the cost of the property. 9 Pete Pederson raised three items. A. At some time in the future the possibility of constructing a concrete pad for hockey and in line skating at City Hall Park need to be explored. Pete has talked to the Lions Club about installing the concrete if the City would pay for the material. Nothing has been decided yet and Pete did not request any action at this time. He just wants us to keep this item in mind. B. Bruce Bernin had talked to Pete about aerating Oneka Lake. This was discussed and because of the experiences both Chuck Haas and Dave Strub have had with the DNR and aerating the lake will not be pursued. C. Pete informed us that the appraisal for the Bernin property was finally authorized and will now proceed. 10. The ad for a future Park Commission member will be in the paper this issue. 11. Everybody thanked Kathy Marier for her year of service as Chair to the Commission. Kathy did a great job this year.
