4 plans on installing basketball hoops and possibly fences around it. The City doesn't have any specifics yet, but something will be done this summer. Ms. Lien suggested putting this on hold until we learn more from the developer. The committee agreed to table this until a later date. Trail Maps to City Engineer Ms. Lien explained she had spoke with Tom Peterson, Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, last week regarding the status of the trail maps. Mr. Peterson stated they had just begun working on them. Ms. Lien will give another update at the August meeting. Letter of Understanding for Future Trails Mr. LeBlanc mentioned he is still planning on coordinating a meeting with all of the parties involved with the trail system, sometime in July or August. He will let the committee know when he has more specific information. Fences Mr. Sweeney explained the City Council approved the expense for the placement of the outfield fences at Laurie LaMotte Park. Mr. Bisek (Kelly's Korner), was in attendance at the council meeting, and stressed that the tournament scheduled for the Fete des Lacs Celebration will not take place if it is not a sanctioned tournament. Sanctioned tournaments require outfield fences, and bring in the most dollars. BMX Track Ms. DeVine stated she had been in contact with the City of St. Cloud in regards to their bike track. Ms. DeVine explained they obtained their bike track through a National BMX Club. The club leases the land for $1.00 per year, and they manage the track. The track has to be a certain high quality of track. St. Cloud's bike track is the second best track in the state. The kids are required to wear full protection gear and must pay a fee, or become a member and pay a membership fee. Through the BMX Club, it releases the City of insurance liabilities. Ms. DeVine mentioned they are willing to set up a time for a tour of the track. The committee elected Monday or Tuesday of the week of July 17"' for a tour. Ms. DeVine will coordinate and contact the committee members with the specific date /time. Landscaping (Remaining Park Signs) Discussed previously. NEW BUSINESS Location of Satellite at Eagle Park Keith and Amy Okan, 1841 Center Street, appeared before the committee to express their concerns relating to the satellite recently placed at Eagle Park. Their concerns are that the satellite is butting up against their property, and isn't a pleasant sight. In fact, it is the first thing you see when driving on Dupre Road, even before seeing the park. Mr. Okan submitted a letter and a drawing of the park with some suggestions as to where the satellite could be relocated to. The committee elected to move the satellite slightly 3
