No formal action required.
5. MEMORIAL FIELD USAGE:
Friedges: On 7/24/08 Al met with a representative from PLABA & ISD 719 at Memorial field to
discuss maintenance and field condition issues. The group is looking at several different ideas to
improve the current conditions, such as not starting the season as early in the year, not have as
many practices, etc. Everyone wants to continue to make it one of the best fields in the state. The
group will meet within the next 2-3 months to discuss all possible options. During this meeting
the drainage issues were discussed and Al stated that the pitching mound needs to be extended
and the infield needs total renovation. Al and his crews have started on the infield renovation by
doing the following:
. From the pitching mound to the ag line; they have installed a 3" crown.
. At the ag line, inside the outfield, and in front of the pitching mound to home plate drain
tile was installed with pea rock, etc. on top
This project will be complete by next week. The field should be available for use in the spring as
long as the sod that was just laid is well established. If it is not, the opening day for the field will
be moved back a couple of weeks. Everyone in the group agreed with this plan.
This fall the entire outfield irrigation will be upgraded. After all these projects are complete the
drainage of the field will be improved greatly and this field will be the best in the state.
K. Haugen: Will there be a water outlet in the infield to water the infield?
Friedges: Yes, there is one installed behind the pitching mound to water down the infield when
it is dry.
K. Haugen: Will there be training for the managers, etc. on how to maintain the field?
Friedges: Nothing is planned at this time but that could definitely be done on an annual basis
with all the coaches, etc.
K. Haugen: Will you be limiting which teams can play on the field?
Friedges: Yes, this will brought up in the next meeting with PLABA, PLAY, ISD 719. We will
create a plan based on the field conditions.
No formal action required.
6. NATURAL RESOURCE MPP UPDATE BY DANETTE W AL THERS
Walthers: Gave a presentation to the PAC outlining the items staff has worked on for the
Natural Resource section of the MPP.
Feriancek: What is the next step?

the presented plans to the October PAC meeting. There will be a City Council workshop on
10/20/08 to discuss this. All PAC members are invited to attend.
No formal action required.

surrounding neighborhoods to inform them of what is going on in the park.

8. PARK NAMING APPLICATIONS BY ANGIE BARSTAD.
Barstad: Presented information on the 2 requests for the naming of public property within the
City. See attached committee report.
Celinsky: I would like to see staff solicit the community for additional names.
K. Haugen: I am fine with accepting the names brought forward.
Ruhme: I am not opposed to accepting the names brought forward but I do think the public
should have a time frame to submit a name.
Larson: I concur with Dan Ruhme.
Feriancek: Is there a motion to accept letter B (have staff solicit other names from the
community), if within a time frame, set by staff, no one comes forward with a name then the
PAC would accept the 2 names that were presented tonight and make a recommendation to City
Council? This motion was made by Ron Celinsky and 2nd by Dan Ruhme, all approved. Motion
carried
