CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES October 4, 2000 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Motion by Mr. LeBlanc, seconded by Mr. Walter to approve the October 4, 2000 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. OLD BUNINESS Follow -up on Informational Meeting for Skate Park/BMX Track The general consensus of the committee was that the Informational Meeting was a great success. Ms. Lien reported that there were over 40 people in attendance. Additionally, most of the youth and their parents expressed interest in a skate park over a BMX track. Mr. Peterson commented that perhaps the Lions Club would be willing to donate some of their charitable gambling proceeds towards the funding of a skate park. Ms. DeVine commented about the property behind City Hall as a location for a park. After discussion, the committee felt there were too many safety concerns related to the fire hall and parking lot. The committee elected to explore other areas within the city and make the skate parka goal for the year 2001. Proposed Trail Map — Review Map from Engineer The Parks and Recreation Committee reviewed the proposed trail map provided by Dan Schluender (Bonestroo) and were very pleased with the results. The committee would like to see the addition of all ponds (shaded in blue) indicated on the map. Ms. Lien will submit the request to Mr. Schluender. Tree Placement at Parks Mr. Porter explained that most of the trees have been planted at the parks. There is one tree that the committee would like to see moved at Tracie McBride Park that is too close to the power lines. Approximately 30 trees have been planted, with the balance to be planted in the spring. 2
