August 11, 2010

Chairperson Dennis Lulloff presided and Deputy Clerk Cindy Cardinal served as secretary. Committee Members Present: Nelson, Lulloff, Kroeplin, Tolzmann, Shelton and Kiviko. Absent: Renderman. A quorum being present, the meeting was called to order. Others present: Cindy Cardinal and Stacy Ness from The Samuels Group.
Approve Minutes
A motion was made by Tolzmann, seconded by Kroeplin to approve the 7/14/10 minutes with one correction: The Committee discussed park pavilion keys. Motion passed on a voice vote.
Mill Pond Park Design
Stacy Ness presented four plans for redesign of the Mill Pond Park area. The current approximate square footage of all three buildings is 5228. Design #1 would remove all three current buildings and construct a T-shaped building consisting of 5364 sq. ft. Design #2 would remove the band pavilion and concession stand while allowing the current open pavilion to remain. A rectangular building consisting of approximately 3700 sq. ft. would be constructed in the area of the current concession stand. Design #3 would remove all three current buildings and construct a new rectangular building along the Mill Pond consisting of approximately 5400 square feet. This would open up the Park toward the streets and allow for future construction of a gazebo type band shell. Design #4 would remove the band pavilion and remodel the current concession stand. A new more square band pavilion would be built in the curve of the Pond, with part of the building being open and part able to be enclosed, maybe with pocket doors. The building would also allow for a tent to be added to the front side of the building for the Lions Ice Fishing Contest. After much discussion, a fifth design option was created. This option would allow the current open pavilion to remain. The band pavilion and concession stand would be removed. The current open pavilion would be extended toward Madsen St., turn and run along Madsen St. to the north end of the current concession stand. The corner area would be angled on the Mill Pond side and enclosed. This design would allow for a future gazebo type band shell along the Pond, with all open areas facing the Pond. A motion was made by Shelton, seconded by Kroeplin to have The Samuels Group do a more detailed building layout for Design #5 and bring it back to Parks & Rec on September 8th. Motion passed on a voice vote.
Rules/Permits for Limited Goose Hunt
Chairperson Lulloff and Police Chief Poirier looked at sites for goose blinds and identified three good sites. Fur, Fin, and Feathers will build 3-4 blinds and do trails to the blinds. The trails will use areas that were cleared during the dredging of the pond. Goose hunting starts on September 1. Permits will be issued for a specific blind on a weekly basis running from Wednesday-Tuesday. Permits will be issued on a first come/first serve basis giving special consideration to the Fur, Fin, and Feathers group who wish to use the blinds to mentor youth on proper hunting practices. Permits may be issued for a combination of up to 3 people per blind, with at least one being an adult. The permits will state that they are goose only permits, list the blind # for which the permit has been issued, the dates for which the permit is good, ask for the person’s name, address, and phone number, and their DNR Goose Hunting License #. The permit will also contain statements saying the hunter will abide by all DNR hunting regulations and that the City is not liable for any injury. The permits will be signed by the Chief of Police and the person to whom the permit is being issued. Everyone issued a permit will be given a map of the blind locations, a copy of the DNR goose hunting regulations, and a copy of their permit. A motion was made by Kroeplin, seconded by Shelton to have Deputy Clerk Cardinal create a permit using the above format. Motion passed on a voice vote.
Walking Trail Bridge Behind Creekside
It was noted that the limestone portion of the trail needs to be sprayed for weeds and public works needs to do more maintenance alone the trail. A representative from Janke Construction is supposed to look at the bridge, but they have not been here yet. Bruce Brecht works for a bridge construction firm and looked at it. He believes it can be fixed. The Committee needs more information before making an decisions.
Adjourn
A motion was made by Shelton, seconded by Kroeplin to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.
