(4 meeting of the month is the most important Lions meeting to attend for making any <br /> type of requests or proposals. <br /> Mr. March added that the Lions felt it best to build the larger structure that will hold two <br /> picnic tables. <br /> The general consensus of the Parks and Recreation Committee was that any type of <br /> donation from the Lions Club is greatly welcomed and appreciated. <br /> CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES <br /> April 5, 2000 Park and Recreation Meeting Minutes <br /> Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Ms. DeVine to approve the April 5, 2000 Park <br /> and Recreation Meeting Minutes with noted changes. All in favor. Motion carried <br /> unanimously. <br /> OLD BUSINESS <br /> Dedication of Laurie LaMotte Park <br /> Ms. Lien explained that since the Parks and Recreation Committee did not have a <br /> meeting in May, nor set a specific date to hold the dedication, it would have been <br /> impossible for her to continue any further planning for the dedication. Ms. Lien <br /> explained that in addition to the lack of a date, she had received several comments <br /> relating to the dedication and the fact that it was "premature" for such an event. Ms. Lien <br /> suggested that once the nark is complete with playground equipment, parking lot, ball <br /> fields, fences, lights, trails, etc. that possibly a grand opening would be more fitting. Ms. <br /> Lien shared that she had already sent out letters requesting donations from several local <br /> businesses, with no response. She had also contacted Cub Foods Bakery, and they were <br /> willing to donate a cake for the occasion. Ms. Lien had already drafted invitations to <br /> send out, along with a list of past Park and Recreation Committee Members. <br /> The Park and Recreation Committee elected to table the dedication until a later date. <br /> Goals <br /> The Committee discussed each members goals briefly as follows: <br /> Trees and Satellites: <br /> Ms. Lien explained that Mr. Larson had submitted his suggestions for trees and satellites <br /> for the previous meeting. Unfortunately, Mr. Larson is still out of town, and is unable to <br /> discuss the status with the committee. Mr. Sweeney suggested "scattering" the trees <br /> more throughout the parks rather than "rimming around" the boarders. Mr. LeBlanc <br /> suggested possibly the City Forester or a professional could look at each park and make <br /> suggestions. <br /> 3 <br />
