r <br />Gur-derman suggested that the Board consider some recommended uses for <br />the proposed County Park so that the Park Board could offer the couatty <br />representatives an alternative.. He also stated that it might be helpful to <br />split the parcel of land into several pieces and establish a priority for <br />each piece. <br />Dahl stated that she felt the highest priorities were the protection of <br />Rice Creek on both sides of the Lake and the maintenance of Rush Lake in a <br />natural state. <br />Sherlock suggested that before the specifics can be considered it was <br />necessary to know what the philosophy of the County was for the park. <br />It was requested that the list of concerns be sent to the county represen- <br />tatives and a meeting date be established. <br />PARK LIGHTING <br />The problem with the lighting situations at Sunny Square, Freedom and <br />Totem Pole Park toes discussed. This matter was referred, to the Park Board <br />by the Council in a letter from the Lake Region Hockey Association. Two <br />potential solutions were offered; placing an extention on the top of the <br />poles or adding two poles to each rink. <br />Hagemeyer inquired as to the severity of this problem. Smith answered <br />that the present situation was a safety hazard. Sherlock asked how the <br />existant lighting compared with other communities rinks. Smith stated that <br />in terms of other Lake Region Communities it compared well but over the total <br />metro area the lighting fares poorly. <br />The Board requested that cost estimates be obtained for the alternative <br />solutions. <br />DEPARTMENT REPORT <br />The Board reviewed the Summer Playground Program, the beach operation, <br />the retired mens work program and the acquisition of,-sod for Hansen Park <br />from the water improvement project underway in the Village. <br />Meeting adjourned at 10:10 P.M. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Robert M, wicklund <br />Director of Parks and Recreation <br />
