Regular Council Meeting Page 4 2/14/77 It was explained that the maintenance department has not been able to clear the area due to the low water table. They can get their equipment onto the lake but cannot get out again and therefore they were not able to scrap the ice this winter. Councilman Gorham stated he is in favor of changing the membership of the Park Commission to a Chairman and six members. He said Planning & Zoning operates very effectively with seven members and with the large turnover on the Park Commission, the Commissioners felt that the scope and amount of items talked about at meetings, with too many members makes it hard for them to be a part of the discussions. Motion by Gorham, Seconded by Mickelson to adopt Ordinance 77-3, Section 7, Subdivision 7 concerning compensation, stating that Commissioners shall serve with compensation of $60 per year-payment to be made at years end provided members attend at least nine regular Park Commission meetings per year and the secretary receives $120 per year. Mayor Cox feels there will be a problem with this on a years basis. It would be administratively cumbersome to keep track of members attendance etc. Council~aan Gotham withdrew his Motion. He agrees that not many areas in the seven county area are paying their Park Commission. Councilman Mickelson withdrew his Second.
