Heritaee Committee - Update on barn and farm machinery. Angie updated the PAC on a barn
that was donated from SMSC. The barn is in good condition and will cost $40,000 to dismantle,
move, and rebuild on Heritage Farm sight by the Amish. The original number in the plan was
$150,000, so this would be a substantial savings. The Wipp family would like to donate farm
equipment from their farm, dated back to the turn of the century, to the city for the Heritage
project. The only stipulation would be to have the city sign an agreement that it will never be
sold. This equipment has been moved to the shelter that is currently on the Heritage Farm sight.
Parks. Athletics. and Recreation Facilitv Long Range Plannin~ Task Force - Mike
Feriancek updated the PAC on the PAR. Mike stated the task force has identified that an ice
arena is the #1 goal on the list. They discussed possible sites for this arena. If it is built at the
high school, the City of Savage requires 1 parking spot for every 4 seats in the arena. This would
mean that the parking lot would have to have at least 250 parking spots, which would not fit on
the high school grounds. Oakridge was also brought up as a possible arena sight. An estimated
157 acres would be needed for an arena sight. On Thursday, 5/11, the City Council is invited to
the PAR Task Force meeting to discuss what the task force has come up with.
The Task Force is also discussing the possible benefits, if any, with installing lights at the Ryan
fields.
Jeffers Pond & Woods in The Wilds Park - Angie Barstad, per AI Friedges, updated the PAC
on these projects. On 5/15 Al Friedges will go in front of the City Council to get bid approval for
a play structure and trails at Jeffers Pond and a sidewalk from Woods in The Wilds Park to Wilds
Parkway. Per AI, all bids were favorable.

Canoe/Kavak Racks at Sand Point Beach - This was moved to the July PAC meeting because
there were not enough PAC members for a quorum to vote on the installation of these racks.
Discuss PAC Goal #10 - Cheri Dornbush discussed keeping green belts and preserving trees.
There is a Tree Preservation Task Force meeting the first week of June. Mike Feriancek stated
that we should find out how we can legally cover ourselves in order to keep green belts/trees
when developers come in.
The next meeting will be the lake and street tour with the LAC and City Council on June 13th,
2006 at 5:45 pm, departing from Lakefront Park.
Mike Feriancek motioned to adjourn the meeting, Tim Libert second, approved.
Meeting adjourned, 7:20 pm
