DRAFT

Pace: Added that the slips are "use at your own risk". There is limited City liability because it is a public park amenity.
Hauaen: Asked the size of boat that will fit in the slips. Also asked if the slips will pose a safety issues for snowmobiles in
the winter.
Friedaes: Approximately 22 to 24 foot boats will fit. In the winter, the slips will have reflectors and possible a strobe to warn
snowmobilers.
Hauaen: Supported the addition because it was yet another way to utilize public facilities. Requested policy of enforcement
and regulation before it is put into use.
LeMair: Suggested re-visiting this issue to consider using some of the slips to rent to non-riparian users on a daily or
weekend basis, similar to how park facilities are rented. Suggested that it be referred to the Park Advisory Committee and
Lake Advisory Committee to look at more closely.

Petersen: Believed the slips could be put in place, and reviewed as we see how the slips are utilized.

complimented parks staff on all their efforts this summer.
