October 7, 1981 Park Board Minutes Page- 6 correcting the lake algae problem. The population in snowmobiles, boats, etc. has increased. The group has assisted with enforcing snowmobile regulations, etc. and has acted as clean up crew on the. lake. The group is concerned with the safe use of Long Lake. and maintaining the quality of the lake. It is the associations intent to express their concerns and anxieties with respect to the proposed park. The association is truly in favor of the park.- However, it does not necessarily agree with the proposed extensive development of he park for the reasons noted in the letter. The association has asked pertinent questions to the City, County and Commissions and other people involved in the planning, but these questions have gone .unanswered for various reasons, including people do not want us to know and maybe the groups did not have the answers themselves, Our position statement is one of concern and relates to park develop- ment: A. City Park - this option should be explored. B. Development - The 1976 park survey results. should have been incorporated into the plan. C. Security - there have been an increase of losses, concerned with the problem. D. Lake watercraft proposed laun.ehing area and suggested. canoe rental facility will increase the number of watercraft during the summer. This. problem should be addressed when considering these. facilities. Motion by Dahl, seconded by Carlson, to .accept. the letter. .Motion .passed. Dahl asked Commers if she actually meant the Planning Commission when she referred to them checking into things or if she meant the Park Board. Commers responded whoever was involved in planning the park. Schmidt said he was-also confused by the term Planning Commission. Johnson said each time she referred to the Planning Commission, the Park Boar-d or appropriate advisory board should be inserted. Schmidt said the Planning Commission is not involved in the park planning. Gunderman asked Commers to explain the "people don't want us to know" clause. Commers said the letter represents others besides herself. They are not getting answers. Have asked at board or commission meetings and always been told will get back to you - never did,.
