PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br /> Regular Meeting of <br /> March 24, 1983 <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Others Present: <br /> <br />Don Lokker, Ron Hetland, Janice Johnson, Dennis Donovan, <br />Bill Rustad and John Lichter <br /> <br />Lloyd G. Schnelle and Merle Mevissen <br /> <br />On April 9, 1983, Federal Cartridge will be deeding over property for Central <br />Park. The meeting is at 10:00 A.M. <br /> <br />A motion by Lichter and seconded by Lokker and approved unamiously to request <br />that the City Council set aside Revenue Sharing money for park development was <br />made. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnelle went over the capital improvement and maintenance budgets for <br />park improvements. The five year capital improvement program was also dis- <br />cussed. It was decided to contact RYAA to get their input for a detailed <br />five year capital improvement plan. An approximate figure of $70,000 per year <br />over the next ten years for park improvements was suggested as a planning <br />figure. <br /> <br />The Chairman requested Mr. Schnelle to ask Mr. Pete Raatikka to get started <br />on topography work for Central Park. The general concensus was that an addi- <br />tional hockey rink at Central Park was premature at this time. Lighting <br />newly developed fields is needed first. <br /> <br />A brief discussion was held regarding the status of the Raudio property. This <br />land has been donated to the City for park purposes. Mr. Bill Rustad is going <br />to check with the police and DNR about funding for a canoe access on the Raudio <br />property. <br /> <br />Chairman Donovan asked Mr. Schnelle if we had any funds to assist the school <br />with their proposed creative play area. Mr. Schnelle indicated there was some <br />surplus available in the Park Fund. Mr. Mevissen stated he could get CETA <br />people to install equipment this summer. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Hetland and seconded by Johnson to obtain quotes for a <br />small creative play area in Peltzer Park (R2,000 price range). It was approved <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />The minutes of February 17, 1983 were approved on a motion by Hetland and <br />seconded by Rustad. <br /> <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:07 P.M. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />John Lichter <br />Secretary <br /> <br /> <br />
