s. PARK BOARD MEETING October 7, 1970 The meeting was called to order at 8:21 p.m. Present: Barnhill, Dahl, Sherlock, Smith, Council Representative Moen appeared at 8:45 Absent: Gunderman, Hagemeyer, Weissman Also Present: Robert Wicklund, Parks and Recreation Director; Village residents. The minutes of the Regular meeting of September 2, 1970 were approved as submitted. It was noted that the letter concerning the shelter buildings was sent to Mr. Dickey rather than Mr. Brauer as was originally requested {Page 4). The substitution was made at the request of Mr. Gunderman, who made the motion, as Mr. Dickey was primarily responsible for building design, not Mr. Brauer. Guidelines for Park Plan Review A discussion was held concerning the outline and time schedule for the review of the comprehensive park plan as directed by the Village Council. Generally, the procedure involves assessing present facilities, determining what needs are not met by those facilities, developing programs to satisfy the unmet needs and recommending financing for those programs. Barnhill questioned whether or not the Board would be determining costs of the programs. It was explained that cost estimates would have to be included to make the plan viable. Smith asked if an evaluation of the status of the work already accomplished was to be included. This aspect of the review will be covered as a part of the assessment of present recreation facilities. It was suggested by Dahl that the Board defer any committee or research assignments until the full Board was in attendance. This met with general agreement. The Board was asked to approve the outline and time schedule as presented so that meeting dates could be published. Sherlock so moved. Smith seconded the motion. Motion passed. (NOTE: Since the meeting a typographical error on the time schedule has been discovered. The last meeting listed should be the 9th of December rather than the 19th of December.) Temporary Building at Hansen Park The plan for the temporary shelter at Richard J. Hansen Park was presented to the Board. The building is to be constructed of pre- cut lumber by the park maintenance staff. It is 20' x 24' which gives approximately the same square footage as the permanent shelters.
