<br /> <br />SPECIAL PARK BOARD MEETING <br />June 10, 1970 <br />The meeting was called to order at 8:17 <br />Board Members present: Barnhill, Dahl, Gunderman, Sherlock, Smith, <br />Council Representative Moen <br />Hagemeyer appeared at $:30 <br />Absent: Weissman <br />Also Present: Arthur Dickey, ArcYiitect, and Robert Wicklund, Director <br />of Parks and Recreation <br />Long Lake Site Acquisition <br />The status of the condemnation proceedings for the Long Lake properties <br />was explained to the Board. The awards will be made by the Commission <br />on or before July 31, 1970. From the time of the award each side has <br />40 days within which to appeal those awards. If the Village wishes <br />to abandon its decision to condemn it must do so within that 40 day <br />period or it has bought the land regardless of the outcome of future <br />appeals. The Village Attorney feels that appeals on two or three of <br />the properties is likely because of the large range between the <br />appraisals brought in by .each side. <br />Cne parcel, a 40 foot lot in the Boardman Addition, has been settled. <br />Seventh Street Buildin <br />Mr. Dickey explained that during meetings with the Director of Parks <br />and Recreation it had become evident there was a misunderstanding as <br />to the completion date far a permanent structure at Seventh Street, <br />It had been his original intent to begin construction in early spring <br />of 1971 for use in winter 1971-?2. The Board on the other hand was <br />planning for use of the structure by winter 1970-71. An accelerated <br />work schedule would be possible according to Mr. Dickey based on the <br />following estimated time table: <br />July 1 - concept sketches for entire community center <br />August 10 - working drawings of shelter phase <br />September 1 advertise and accept bids <br />September. l5 - begin construction <br />Completion of the building could be expected in from two to four <br />months. <br />Mr. Gu~derman asked if the other work on the site would be completed <br />in time for the skating season. If the ~:~ork goes according to contract <br />and barring unusual delays such as the driver's strike which held up <br />commencement of construction for one month, the work will be completed <br />in time. , ,~, ~~}ob ~.6"~~ .~,,A `•Z <br />`~'~ 11~~ <br />P <br />
