Minutes of Regular Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting • Page five Hazelnut Park Shelter Buckley reported that the "Aid Association for Lutherans" has offered to donate $2,500 for construction of a picnic shelter at Hazelnut Park. Committee discussed briefly whether it would be well to add monies from the Park Fund to construct a more elaborate shelter, i.e. wood rather than metal; concluded that more vandalism is experienced with wooden shelters and the one selected by Buckley and the Association would be the best choice. The concrete base for the shelter will be provided by the Parks Department (funds from Park Fund - $1,000 estimate) con- struction by the Association. Committee concurred to recommend Council approval of this donation. Trails Buckley stated that easements have been obtained for trail from the Village Hall down to Colleen Avenue, and he plans to establish this trail this summer. Peterson asked if it would be hard-surface; felt that in view of high community interest in trails, as evidenced in results of community survey, even higher priority should be given to trails and consideration given to hard surfaces on the more highly visible trails. Subcommittee - Future Park Funding Subcommittee gf. Messerly, Peterson-and-Mulcahy was formed to work with Finance Committee liaisons to explore options for future funding of park • acquisition, development and maintenance.
