July 10, 1985 Park Board Minutes <br />Page 5 <br />Benke asked if Vets would be a, good park to light the ball field. <br />Anderson said it is not big enough. The only field he would <br />support lighting would be Freedom, or Driftwood if some more <br />land was obtained in that area. Freedom is on stable ground <br />and there are less residential areas. Hansen would be good <br />but the ground is too unstable. If we do light a field we <br />would need an irrigation system because of the heavy use the <br />field would get (about 5 nights a week), Parking would be needed <br />too. Parking lot at Freedom was never curbed. The lighting <br />item could be in the Comprehensive Plan with the Pike Lake <br />neighborhood. <br />Anderson said there have been some problems on Long Lake with <br />power boats buzzing canoes and rafts. <br />Benke commented that perhaps a letter should be sent to .the <br />LLIA to take care of the problem. Have the Mayor send the <br />letter. <br />MOTION BY BLOMQUIST, SECONDED BY STEWARD, THAT THE PARK BOARD <br />REQUESTED THAT THE CITY CORRESPOND WITH THE LONG LAKE IMPROVE- <br />MENT ASSOCIATION REGARDING UNSAFE BOATING PRACTICES ON LONG <br />LAKE. MOTION CARRIED. <br />Rose commented that he like it when they could hit over the <br />tree on #7 at the Golf Course. <br />Eichers asked if there were plans for more shelters at any <br />parks. <br />Anderson said only three parks do not have pavilions. Not <br />sure we need one at Vermont. Vets does not have one and <br />Totem is so small - perhaps it could be put in the SW area. <br />Gunderman commented that when the shelter is remodeled maybe <br />a deck could be added. <br />Anderson said that is not a bad idea. <br />Benke said that it could be discussed at the neighborhood <br />meeting. <br />Benke told the Park Board that the goals and plans will not <br />be plugged into the budget process by each department and <br />will eventually go to the Council. <br />Anderson said that far staff it is very nice because generally <br />the budget is done and then the goals. Now we are doing the <br />goals first - it is much nicer. <br />C. 1986 Budget Concerns <br />Anderson said most everything was included in the above. <br />
