Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission of the City of Hugo Minutes of August 13, 1998 Kathy Marier, Chair, Pete Pedersen, Vice-Chair, Debra Barnes, Nancy Chelmo, Sydney Harrison, Robyn LaCasse, David Strub 1. Members absent - Debra Barnes and David Strub. 2. Site drawings of new playground equipment for "Lions Park", the park by the city hall, were discussed and after a few changes approved by a voice vote YES to recommend this to the City Council on Monday, August 17, 1998. Laurie McRostie from OSM showed us a proposal form that shows what must be put on bid. The City will need to purchase timbers for the perimeter of the playground area and landscape fabric to lay under the shredded wood resilient material. Pete Pedersen would like to approach the Hugo Lions Club for purchase of children's sand digging equipment as an addition to the playground's sandbox. A sign for the park was included on the site drawing - park name, hours and rules will be recommended by the Commission to be printed for public knowledge. The Commission will help plan a dedication ceremony of "Lions Park" to include organizations such as the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4H, when the park playground equipment is completely installed. As of October 1, 1998 the Parks Commission recommends that one "Lions Park Event Calendar' be housed at city hall and updated by city hall staff. Public residents that want to use the park for a large gathering must contact the city staff to reserve a date on the calendar, and sign the "Agreement for Use of City Facility" page (which includes the "List of Regulations" page). If the group would like to use the concession stand area, then at least two days prior to the event, they should leave a damage deposit in the form of a check written out to the "Hugo Lions Club" in the amount of $ 25.00 . Another check should also be written out to the "Hugo Lions Club" to pay a user fee in the amount of $ 25.00 . (Amounts to be determined). After these two checks are collected, a key to the concession stand would be issued by the city staff. When the key is returned, the city staff would check the building, if the building is left in proper condition, the deposit check would be returned. If there were any question about the condition of the building, it would be referred to the Hugo Lions Club. (At the present time, Hugo Lions Club members need to be alerted to use of the building so that the old fire truck can be moved, perhaps in the future when a new fire station is built, the old fire truck could be housed in the old fire station and then the moving of the old fire truck would not be an issue). 3. Parks Commission members all received an August 5, 1998 memorandum from Robert Museus, City Administrator, concerning Oneka Lake Boulevard Bike Trail. The City Council requested a recommendation on the need to construct a bike trail along
