Beaver Ponds — Tom Weidt has organized the volunteers for the June 23 installation of the play <br />equipment. He has people willing to help on Saturday and Sunday. Rain has been delaying some of <br />the prep work, but we are staying optimistic that everything will work out. The surveyors are ready <br />to stake the footing locations and a trench has been dug for the drain tile. Terry Bersherand, the <br />builder who is so generous with his help, is planning on drilling the footings on Wednesday June 20. <br />The soccer field construction has also been delayed because of rain. The entire park site is almost <br />completely fine graded. Once the site dries out that will be finished quickly and then the seeding of <br />the soccer field and the entire park can take place. Irrigation will also be finished. <br />II. Oneka Lake — Mr. Bernin, has continued to talk to the DNR about aeration for the lake. A new <br />contact at the DNR, Jerry Johnson, in the Division of Fish and Wildlife, Section of Fisheries, has <br />informed Mr. Bernin about a grant program, Project CORE, that supports Resource Enhancement. <br />Project CORE supports projects directed to two general areas: habitat enhancement and angler use. <br />The information that came from the DNR in the grant application package includes an explanation of <br />the process. One major goal is to increase citizen cooperation in fish management. Many types of <br />projects are funded including habitat improvement, reclamation, spawning areas, aeration, access, <br />experimental regulations and fishing piers among others. Often these projects are organized and <br />spearheaded by anglers and other citizen groups. This kind of cooperation needs to be demonstrated <br />in the application. The community needs to assist in the development of a project. A project for <br />Oneka Lake will continue to be pursued. <br />http://www.ci.hugo.mn.us/Parks Recreation/minutes/Parks6l32001.htm 10/3/2007 <br />
