Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes 05-06-09 <br /> <br />Special Event Permit <br />– Ms. Stephan reported the Special Use Permit is being reviewed by the Police <br />and Fire Department personnel and was on the next City Council Agenda for Council consideration. <br /> <br />Vice-Chairperson Amundsen discussed placing the ads in the paper with both The Citizen and The <br />Quad. The committee felt all the details were coming together and now it was just important to get the <br />word out so as to get people registered. <br /> <br />Park Signage <br /> <br />Vice-Chairperson Amundsen submitted the sign information to Mr. Paul Palzer. Mr. Tedd Peterson, <br />Public Works ordered the signs, but had Vice-Chairperson Amundsen review the order first. Vice- <br />Chairperson Amundsen marked on an aerial of Hidden Spring Park where the signs should be placed. <br /> <br />Tree Removal at Eagle Park <br /> <br /> <br />The DNR Forester who met with Vice-Chairperson Amundsen to look at the trees in Eagle Park was <br />supposed to come back and mark the trees to be removed, but he never came back and does not return <br />phone calls. Vice Chairperson Amundsen informed the committee that Eagle Pass Town Home <br />Association owns the trees on the north side of the park and this helps to differentiate between park and <br />private property. The committee discussed getting rid of the scrub trees, buckthorn and noxious weeds <br />will open up the property and the pine trees may not need to be removed at this time. The park also <br />needs to be sprayed for poison ivy. <br /> <br />Summer Programs <br /> <br /> <br />Music in the Park <br /> <br /> <br />Banjo Bandits) <br />Vice-Chairperson Amundsen has been in contact with both Mr. Fred Bailey ( and Ms. <br />Brady’s Big Band and Jill & the Jacks <br />Kathy LaValle () to confirm dates. Brady’s Big Band is <br />th <br />booked the month of July, but Jill & the Jacks are available the 7 of July. Mr. Fred Bailey has <br />st <br />committed to Tuesday July 21 at 7:00 p.m. The idea is to have July be the Month of Music in the <br />Parks, each Tuesday night, but possibly go into August depending on the availability of Brady’s Big <br />Band. Having a band at Hidden Spring Park the Sunday of Fete des Lacs was also discussed as a <br />possibility. The committee felt 4 or 5 bands could be offered to the community for $1,000. <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Haiden, seconded by Vice-Chairperson Amundsen to <br />recommend to City Council the approval of funds not to exceed $1,000 for the Parks & <br />Recreation Music in the Parks Program for 2009. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Battle of the Bands/Boards <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Member Lee said that Ollie & Company are not available this year so there will not be a <br />June Battle of the Bands/Boards. Battle of the Bands will be part of Fete des Lacs. Council Member <br />Lee stated they are still looking for another band to participate in the Battle of the Bands. <br /> <br /> <br />4 of 5 <br /> <br />
