Approval of the December 13. 2004 Meetina Minutes: Motion by Loose to approve the December 13, 2004 Meeting Minutes. Second by McFadden. Ayes: 4. Nays: O. Parks Advisory Committee Liaison: Joe Ziska introduced himself to the committee as the new City Councillaision for 2005. Park Development Update: Osmundson updated the committee of the Jeffers Pond development at the Wilds. After many discussions with the developer, the City and developer agreed upon a 4.6 acre neighborhood park within this development. A future annexation site proposed is located at County Road 12 & County Road 17 - 387 acres (30-40 acre parkland) through Tollefson Development. We are in the concept stage, possibly a year from any activity. There was some discussion regarding th~ usage of the land. Ponds Park and Sand Point Beach Concession Renovation Proiects: Estimates for the Ponds Concession Renovation Project were at $95,000. Ten (10) bids were submitted and the lowest bid was $182,000 from Gray Stone Construction. A recommendation was made to the Council at the January 3, 2005 meeting that project should be postponed and- re-bid Fall, 2005 and combine it with the ~and Point Beach concession renovation project. This could keep. the costs lower and eliminate the additional winter costs. The plans and specs are complete for the Ponds Concession but will be working with the architects for the design of the Sand Point Beach Concession before it goes to Council for approval. Some discussion followed in reference to bidding 100%) project vs using the staff to do some of the work. Friedges explained that due to the lack of staff and the many obligations of maintaining existing parks, it is more cost effective to handle it this way. Schroeder stated that if it would benefit the project by having an earlier start date, PLAY could work out of the lower shelter. He also suggested providing more portable bifs in the park to accommodate the restroom needs during the process. Feriancek was concerned about the CIP money/project allocations, how they compared with the actual costs and where the extra money would come from. Would some projects be postponed in order to finance other projects? Osmundson explained that they are currently updating the budget and that the CIP (a planning tool) allocations can be carried over from year to year. Feriancek brainstormed on the how best the taxpayers and council could see the value of the maintenance employees to taxpayers and to the Council by making comparisons of doing some of the projects in-house thereby being more cost effective. Osmundson noted that the CIP figures only reflected material costs; not time. According to Friedges the project should take about four weeks and depending upon how the Sand - _'--"__....,~__................"..". ,. _.___.~__.~_.,~...".n" ~~---_...~--- ''"--~-'I..-'-~'"''''-'.' Point Beach concession project is decided, the best time for the project start date would be August, 2005. Boat Slip Policy:' Committee reviewed what was talked about at the joint workshop with the LAC and"PAC on December 20. McFadden questioned if PAC should be involved with the boat slips at all since. it they are on the lake and maybe should be the Lake Advisory Committees responsibility. Osmundson indicated that the Council does want the PAC input. The following suggestions were presented: · Slips should be monitored through the Parks Department and the Prior Lake Police Dept. · No overnight usage · Work within park hours · Good signage · Gate - sign posted · First-come, first serve - No reservations · No time limit on dockage time · Bike rental tb operate the site Election of Officers: Motion by McFadden that Mike Feriancek remain Chair and Ruth Harris, Vice Chair.
