Park Board~eting r 2 a^pt:. 2, 1 E~tiTrates indicated that completion of the entrance sign and shelter and the second shelter within the park are realistic possibilities. I'ze Jaycees time-table calls for completion by late fall, 1970. ~~he site: for the shelters were chosen by Don Brauer and Jaycee representatives. The entrance site was chosen because it will be a drop-off and pick-up point for children and the interior site selected because it is a passive area where one might sit and enjoy the view. fi,lze materials used in the structure are similar to those used in the playground structure at the south end of the park. They are designed to be maintenance free and maintain the natural theme of the park . Smith moved to accept the plan as submitted by the Jaycees. Dahl Ceconded - Motion carried xeveiw of the Co_m~rehensive Park Plan Ccancil action initiating this item was discussed. The Council has r~:quested that the Park Board review the comprehensive park plan c~:~ny filed in 1966. Particular concern was expressed over the buildi.n.c~ to be constructed at Richard J. Hansen Park. Monies were set aside ?:~~th for a temporary shelter to be used during the 1970-71 skating season and for a permanent shelter to be constructed in the spring of_ 1971. The type and scope of the permanent building is of primary concern to the comprehensive plan review. Gunc~erman suggested that the Director of Parks and Recreation develop g~iide lines for the Board to follow i.n reviewing the plan. This should include a time-table calling for completion of the review before Christmas, 1970 and information as to what constitutes a revised park plan. It was suggested that building plans for Hansen Park should bA completed by Christmas to insure actual occupancy of the structure before the skating season of 1971-72. Gunderman stated that to be effective, any projects included in the revised plan must be flexible enough to adopt to changing conditions, particularly finances. Smith moved that the Director develop guidelines for the .Park Board's use in re~~~.ewing the comprehensive park plan to be submitted at the October meeting. Sherlock seconded - Motion carried. 'r~z=rn;~:~rary Shelter for Hansen Park rjie ~aresent status of plans for the temporary shelter at Richard J. ~IaTisen Park were discussed. It was suggested that a type of building cc~•uld be purchased that would be used at Hansen Park for one winter ::~.r.d then moved to another site to obtain additional use from it. This -,=ould be more economic than building a very cheap structure and then ~a.i.ng it down after one sf.ating season. Some type of pre-fab ~.:~s.~:L~3inq would suit this plan. Smith agreed that this plan would be r~~c~:~i: '~!=.~-i~le in terms of money invested.. It was brought out that te:nporaN~: ~xtility services would have to be provided but rest room
