PARKS ADVISORY COMMITfEE MINUTES AUGUST 8,1994 The Parks Advisory Committee meeting was called to order by Vice-chair, Pat Heaney, at 7: 17 p.m. on Monday, August 8, 1994. Members present were Ron Ceminsky, Sam Emond, Pat Heaney, and Art School. Staff present included Bill Mangan, Director of Parks and Recreation, Bret Woodson, Recreation Supervisor, Nancy McGill, Parks and Recreation Secretary. Members absent were Doug Berens, Bob Rykken, and Kathy Smith. The minutes were reviewed from the July 11, 1994 meeting. Sam Emond asked why the Bang's were at the July meeting. Bill stated that they were present to find out if the PAC committee would commit to making the grant application for property to become city park land, and if anyone was opposed to property becoming city park land. There was some discussion. There was some discussion regarding the Dakota Community Center; fee structure, etc. '\ Sam Emond asked about how long the summer youth employment program ran and if they could take care of cleaning up area along County Rd 21 and the pond. Mangan indicated that there was enough funding to run program through Labor Day; however the youth program would not take care of this. Also discussed projects the different groups are currently working on. Youth group (Le. chipping, landscape projects); court service group (clean up weeds, playground equipment, neighborhood parks); Sentence to Service program (timber retaining walls, maintenance shop). Heaney asked to review discussion as to obtaining funding for additional projects. At the June meeting, land acquisition projects were discussed and how they would be funded. Information will be made available at the September meeting (when more members will be in attendance) for the projected cost of the property, development and acquisition costs; committee can then discuss the possibility of impact fees along with the referendum or other funding sources that will need to be decided upon. ART SCHOOT MADE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES FROM THE JUNE 11, 1994 MEETING. RON CEMINSKY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Pat Heaney asked for staff reports. Bill Mangan reviewed the P.L.A. Y. marathon. There were 108 games played at The Ponds. Many nice comments were made about the field maintenance. The parking lot is now striped and the medians are planted. Lakefront Days was successful. The Windjammers had their concert and ice cream social at Memorial Park on Thursday, August 4th. (There were about 200-225 in attendance). The Prior 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

This also was well attended. Other attractions on Saturday were the basketball event, dog show, fishing tournament (winning team brought in over 42 Ibs. of fish), 118 units made up the parade, water fights were held between local fire departments and there was musical entertainment and a dance in the evening. ~ I Mangan also updated the parks personnel status. Re-advertising for Parks Maintenance Worker IT position. Bruce Clobes resigned as of July 15 after 12 years of service. Bret Woodson reviewed the summer activities. The summer playground program has ended; currently in the second week of Daycamp. Theater Camp and an adult trip to Taylors Falls are the last events scheduled. The Community Beach Party and the Fire Safety Camp were both successful this summer. The Fire Safety Camp is co-sponsored with the Prior Lake Fire Department and had 150 kids participate - this was an all-day event. The Fall brochure will come out on September 9th with following activities planned: Eight tot activities, three youth trips, four adult craft classes, five adult activities, and eight tumbling and pre-dance activities. Classes and activities are offered during the day and evening, and some on weekends; hoping to accommodate various groups. The annual Dance Open House and Shoe Exchange will be held on August 16th and 17th. This program has become very popular and has grown immensely over the years. Classes will start the week of September 12th. Bill recognized Bret for submitting the Fire Safety Camp program to the MRPA for possibility of receiving an award of programming excellence. In July, we received notification that the Fire Department Safety Camp program won the award for excellence from the MRPA for recreational programming. The Fire Department received a plaque for programming excellence and this was presented to them and the mayor at a council meeting August 1st Pat Heaney asked for Old Business. (\ At this time, Mangan asked if if would be okay to come back to Old Business and move on to Item #5. It was agreed. The Parks Advisory Committee Open Forum was open at this time. Ron Ceminsky asked if a referendum was still being considered. Mangan indicated it was still under discussion; too premature at this point and time is uncertain. This also hinges on bond and tax capacity of the City. There was some discussion from the committee. Pat Heaney now asked to return to Old Business to discuss the Sidewalk Policy and recommendation for funding. The committee members referred to memorandum from Bill Mangan dated May 25. 1994, and List of Sidewalk Priorities from DRC meeting on May 5, 1994. Total amount of projects is $2,346,350 (projects prioritized from 1994 through 1999; this is not a five year list but rather a 20 year priority list to give us an idea of what priority we will look at at how to fund it). ~ Would like the PAC to take a list to the City Council so that we have something in policy form when meeting with developers on future development projects. Parks Advisorv Committee Minutes - AUl!ust 8. 1994 - Pal!e 2 . . The Red Items (1994 road construction project) have been completed. The Orange Items (1995 road construction project) were reviewed as follows: 1. 160th St. on south side. This is a go and will be funded by county state funds. 2. 160th St. on north side. Funded by county state funds. 3. Tower St from Panama Avenue to Duluth Ave. - Prioritized as a Low 2. Not recommending to change this status. There was some discussion regarding whose responsibility for maintaining sidewalks/trails. Mangan indicated that the City is responsible for those portions that are designated on City-wide Trail System. There will be many areas where it will be the homeowners responsibility to maintain. Generally, the City maintains those sidewalks/trails on minor or major collector streets. A question was raised regarding what determines sidewalks and/or trails on both sides of the street. Mangan stated that the minor/major collector status determines this. He then went on to explain the difference between the two. 4. Pike Lake Tr. from C.R. 42 to south edge of Maple Hill subdivision. This is also a low priority. MSA funds designated for the sidewalk. There was some discussion on the speed limits in certain areas. The Yellow Items (1996 road construction project) reviewed as follows: 1. Duluth Ave. from Hwy. 13 to Pleasant St. This is a high priority funded by MSA. 2. West Ave. from C.R. 21 to Pleasant St. This is a High priority. Funded with City funds. 3. Pleasant St. from Duluth Ave. to West Ave. This is a High/2 priority. Funded with City funds. 4. Pleasant St. from Duluth Ave. to Park Ave. This is a High/l priority. Priority based on engineers recommendation. Funded with City funds. 5. Five Hawks Ave. from school to Hwy. 13 (on both sides). Funded with City funds. Currently has a sidewalk; therefore would not have to be done. At this time, Pat Heaney asked what the criteria was for having a stop light at this intersection. Mangan indicated that there are warrants that determine need for stop lights; Le. traffic accidents, and amount of traffic generated in a particular area. There has been talk of a stop light installed within next two years. 6. C.R. 21 from c.R. 82 to C.R. 42. This is a High/2 priority and will be funded by CSA. City will have to contribute portion for trail and sidewalk. City will maintain this. The Brown Items (1997 road construction project) reviewed as follows: 1. 150th St. to Fairlawn Shores Tr. This is a High/3 project to be funded by MSA. Sidewalk will only be put in.

Seasonal Summer Staff IV. Expenses / Revenue Breakdown A. Summary of Breakdown Sheet B. Copy of Breakdown Sheet I. Summer Brochure A. Expanded Format This particular seasonal brochure was expanded to eight pages so that each program could be publicized as effectively as possible. The summer season is the biggest and most popular season of recreational activities offered by the Parks and Recreation Department. The reason for the popularity stems from the fact that the tots and youth of the community are out of school for the summer. Because of this fact, the majority of the activities offered during the summer months are geared towards the children of the community. The other major change to the summer brochure was the addition of a third color. The color green was added to the usual blue and black. Green was the color of choice this summer for all of the summer activities, including: participant t-shirts, water bottles, day camp caps, and staff t-shirts & tank tops. The summer brochure will be the only seasonal brochure in which three colors will be used. The third color adds that extra special effect that helps add to the overall effectiveness of the brochure. ..----.. B. Copy of Brochure A copy of the Summer Brochure is attached to the end of this report. II. Program Details A. Family Activities On Saturday, July 16th, the annual Community Beach Party was held at Lions Sand Point Beach from 11 :00 a.m. - 1 :00 p.m. The day started out with a free concert by "Bob the Beachcomber," followed by numerous childrens games put on by the summer leaders, and free helium balloons. The event was attended by many families who enjoyed beautiful weather, a good concert, and plenty of fun. The Prior Lake American was also present, and took some good photos which appeared in a photo spread a week or two after the event. Lakefront Days was the other family activity the Parks and Recreation Department participated in this summer. Once again the summer leaders were on hand to offer the children a chance to play games, do ,r--., a craft, or have their face painted. The actual games included: a duck pond, football toss, scavenger hunt, beanbag toss, moonwalk, and a station to make a noodle necklace. All of the stations were popular, especially the moonwalk. The weather cooperated for the second straight year which made for a successful day. B. Tot Activities The summer activities created for tots aged three through five are featured in a program known as "Tot Lot". The program is run by the summer leaders who supervise the children in various neighborhood parks throughout the city. The program runs two days a week, for two hours each day. Participants can choose between the Monday-Wednesday session or the Tuesday-Thursday Session. This summer there were eight sessions offered. There were a total of 110 tots who participated in this years program. Each participant received a t-shirt and a daily snack. They were also provided with numerous craft projects throughout the summer. The most popular crafts were: heart puzzles, rock star glasses, handprint poems and suncatchers. Along with the craft projects, there was music, games and "free time" for the kids to play on the playground equipment. Each week there was a theme that was used to help plan the activities for the kids. The tot lot supervisor made up the lesson plans that centered around the theme for that week. Each weeks lesson plan is distributed to the leaders at each park to serve as a guide for them as they are running the program. At the end of the summer, each participant has the opportunity to attend the end of the year field trip to Como Zoo. Parents are welcome on this trip, and usually many parents choose to attend. The highlight of the zoo trip is always "Sparky the Seal." C. Youth Activities The summer is always filled with lots of activities for the youth of the community. The biggest and most popular program is the summer playground program for youths aged six through twelve. This program, like the tot lot program, is offered at neighborhood parks throughout the city and supervised by the summer leaders. The program was once again extremely popular this summer with over 209 kids in the program. The . following parks were hosts to the playground program which runs Monday through Thursday from 12:30 - 3:00 p.m.: Memorial Park, Willows Park, Raspberry Ridge ~_."--'~-----"-_.._----~_...............~,.'".~~~-~_.~ Park, Lions Sand Point Park, Fish Point Park, and Oakland Beach Park. The program gives kids the opportunity to participate in daily supervised recreational activities that take place, in most cases, within walking distance from their own homes. The registration fee, which is only $20.00 for residents ($25.00 for non-residents), covers arts and crafts, games, sports, stories, arid plenty of fun! Each child also receives a Parks and Recreation Department T-Shirt and Water Bottle. This years "color" for the summer, as mentioned earlier, was green. Seven weekly special events were also offered to those who registered for the summer playground program. Three of the events were free and the other four had an additional fee the participants had to pay. The first event was the Blast Off Picnic which was held on Wednesday, June 15th from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m. at Memorial Park. This annual event is held to kick off the summer and get the kids excited about the summer playground program. The highlight of the day was the free picnic lunch and the free concert performed by "Bob the Beachcomber. " Another annual event, the Penny Carnival, was held the following Friday, June 24th from 11:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. This event was also held at Memorial Park. The carnival was attended by over 200 children who had the chance to try their hand at the following games: duck pond, sponge toss, cookie walk, face painting, and a spook house. There were also hot dogs, chips, orange drink, and plenty of candy available for purchase. ----... The third special event, which is always a favorite of the kids, was a trip downtown to the Metrodome for an afternoon Twins Game. Ninety-six kids attended the game on Thursday, June 30th, which was also "Parks and Recreation Day" at the dome. The Twins won the game, so the bus ride home in traffic was a little more enjoyable. Cleary Lake Park was the destination for the fourth special event of the summer. A Bike Hike to Cleary Lake from Memorial Park was attended by eighty-five kids. Both trips, there and back, are fully escorted by the Police Department for extra safety. Once the group arrived at Cleary Lake, a picnic lunch was cooked and served to all of the participants. After lunch numerous games and activities were enjoyed before the bike trip home. This particular day (Friday, July 8th) was unseasonably cool and rainy, but the kids still had a great ~, time. On Friday, July 15th, 109 children took the bus to Beaver Mountain Waters Ii de & Golf for the fifth special event of the summer. The trip included two and a half hours of unlimited water sliding and miniature golf. The Prior Lake Fire and Rescue Safety Camp was the sixth special event and one of the most popular. The site of the event was Lions Sand Point Beach. The safety camp was held on Friday, July 22nd from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. 150 kids participated in the day long event that consisted of nine stations. The kids were divided up into groups and rotated between all nine stations. The day concluded with a rescue helicopter landing in the middle of the park. The summer playground program concluded on Wednesday, July 27th, with a trip to the Shakopee Pool. Ninety-four children enjoyed a beautiful eighty degree day of water fun. The pool has a waterslide and also a snack bar and a volleyball court for those who chose not to swim the entire time. Overall, the summer playground program was a success. There was a lot of positive feedback from the participants and their parents. Each year the program continues to grow and expand with the added growth to Prior Lake. Therefore, after each summer, the program is evaluated to make sure that an enjoyable, well rounded, "fun to come to" program is offered the following summer. Three other youth activities were offered this summer after the playground program was completed. Each program ran for a week and took place during the day. The first two programs were week long Day Camp sessions offered at Cleary Lake Park. These camps were also conducted by the summer leaders. The highlight for the week is the overnight camp out. The weather cooperated for the most part, with the second week overnight getting a little cool. Both of these week long camps were filled to capacity, with fifty kids attending each week. The last youth activity offered was a week of Theater Camp held at the Prior Lake High School. Twenty boys and girls participated in the camp which was run by an instructor from the Steppingstone Theater Group of St. Paul. This was the second year of the camp, and it once again filled to the limit. D. Tennis Lessons Tennis lessons were held this year during the morning and also in the evening to try and accommodate many busy summer schedules. The ~_.._._..._.~_.__.......__.,._._..___h__"_"..~_'____"'_""'_'__"'___'__"+__"__'__"~_"_'___._~. lessons are taught by two very experienced instructors who have worked together for several summers. This summer there were" sixty-six children who participated in the morning lessons and 23 adults & children who chose to attend the evening lessons. The lessons are very popular during the summer and the fall seasons. Two classes are being offered during the evening hours in the fall. E. Adult Activities Along with the evening tennis lessons, three day trips were offered to the adults of Prior Lake. However, only one of the programs had enough people sign up to make the trip possible. During the summer months a lot of the adults who usually participate in parks and recreation trips choose to stay home and spend time with their kids or grandchildren. However, it is still important to offer the trips in case there is enough interest. The trip that was successful was a trip to Taylors Falls for a scenic boat tour of the St. Croix river followed by a lunch at a local restaurant. The weather was perfect, sunny and low 80's, and the meal was enjoyable as well. Forty adults attended the trip which was relatively long, lasting from 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. F. Dance Activities /--- Along with the usual tumbling and pre-dance classes that are offered each season, five additional classes were added to the list. They included: "Summer Fun With Lisa," "Funky Jazz," "Ballet For Children," "Teen Jazz," and "Teen Ballet." All in all, sixty-nine boys and girls participated in the dance programs offered for the summer months. These classes were open to boys and girls between the ages of three and seventeen. The summer classes not only allow the tots to participate, but also the dancers who participate in the progressive dance program that runs from September through May. III. Summer Seasonal Staff The seasonal staff for the summer of 1994 did an exceptional job throughout the course of the summer. There were a total of 16 individuals involved with the above mentioned programs for kids. They included: a playground director, tot lot supervisor, twelve ..---- playground leaders, and two tennis instructors. Twelve of the sixteen seasonal employeeswere college students or older, while the other four are going to be college freshman this fall. The individuals who are hired to work as summer leaders are all trained before the summer to ensure that the expectations and requirements of the position are made clear. The majority of the leaders are studying elementary education, child development, or something to do with interacting with people. The experience is good for them, as they try to gain experience for future careers in their chosen field. IV. Expenses / Revenue Breakdown A.

Do you have a written sidewalk polley? Can you send us a copy? 2. Who determines where sidewalks are Installed? 3. How are the sidewalks funded? 4. How are community trails funded? 5. Do you require developers to Install and pay for sidewalks? 6. What road designation would require both a sidewalk and trail on each side? How Is that funded? ._^.....,,_......~_~..................~~, <....._~~~....._~.~._._'..H.___........"'..~.........~-.........~...._~'_..,---..o,'~__~~._.___~~_~"__,-'"'.._~.-.,~_~_.______~......_.'". SURVEY SUMMARY OF CITIES PLYMOUTH: Does not have a written sidewalk policy, but does have a trail plan designed by Parks and Recreation and Engineering. Sidewalk and trail locations are determined by the approved trail plan. Developers are required to pay for and install sidewalks in developments, but if it is an existing connection or tie in to the park the city pays. Minor arterial streets require both a sidewalk and a trail EDEN PRAIRIE: Does not have a written policy. Where sidewalks are installed is determined by the Parks and Recreation Department. The developer is required to pay for and install sidewalks in new developments as well as any trails that will run through the development. Collector streets and larger require both a sidewalk and trail. If it is part of a development project, then the developer pays, and if it is a city project, then the city pays for it. BLOOMINGTON: Does not have a written sidewalk policy, but has in their city code book that all streets except single family plats require sidewalks (and those areas are completely developed). Engineering combined with Planning and Public Works decide where sidewalks will be installed. Developers are required to pay for and install sidewalks in new developments under the conditions of that development. Businesses fund the sidewalks on their streets and on arterials there is general funding and state aid. The funding of trails is through general obligation unless the trail goes through a development, in which case the developer pays for it. Arterial and collector streets that run through park lands and large open areas require both a sidewalk and trail. Along arterial streets state aid helps the funding. SHAKOPEE: Said they kind of have a sidewalk policy and said that they would mail us a copy. The Engineering department decides where sidewalks are installed. In already existing divisions if the street is a collector or greater, the city pays 100%. If it is a residential street the city pays 50% and the other 50% comes from property assessments. If it is a reconstruction project the city pays 75% and the other 25% is from property assessments. New subdivisions are not required to have sidewalks, only collector streets or greater or commercial property. They are in planning stages for community trails and are funded by CIP funds. They had "no idea" for street designation for both a sidewalk and a trail. MAPLE GROVE: Is currently working on a written sidewalk policy, and sent us a copy if current policy from their city ordinance book. The Planning and Engineering departments decide where sidewalks will be installed. In development areas the developer is required to pay for and install sidewalks. In existing areas the city pays 100% through transportation funds. Community trails are funded in the same manner. They are currently working on a written plan to enforce the payment and installation of sidewalks by the developer. Collector streets require sidewalks/trails on both sides, but wasn't sure how they were funded. BROOKLYN PARK: Currently has fragments of policies and intends to combine all fragments into one policy. Planning and Engineering departments along with a Policy Council determines where sidewalks will be located (usually arterial/collector streets). In development areas the developer is required to pay for and install sidewalks only when required by the current policy. In existing areas they want to add sidewalks along with the reconstruction of streets, but are not very strict due toto cost. If residents ask for a sidewalk that isn't in the policy to be done, the residents pay 100%. Along arterials and collectors the city pays 20% and the other 80% comes from property assessments. Community trails are funded with park bonds, park dedications fees, and grants (which are rare). Primary arterial streets require both sides to have sidewalks/trails, and collectors require only one side, WOODBU RY: When I talked to Woodbury they said they didn't have a sidewalk system, only a community trail system. So I talked to the Parks and Rec. department. They said their trails that run alongside roads in developments are funded by the developer and the ones that run alongside major roads (collectors and arterials) are funded by MSA funds, Park and Rec. funds, development funds, and grants if available. LAKEVILLE: They have a trail plan that includes future trails and sidewalks and are a part of street construction, and a review of the developments determines where sidewalks will be installed. In new developments the developer is responsible for funding and installing the sidewalks. Existing areas that do not have sidewalks are not going to get them. Developers are required to fund and install sidewalks, but are also credited if they build a sidewalk along a collector street and the cost is split 5/8 developer and 3/8 city funds. Community trails are funded by a trail fee fund which is $150 per unit in a development. These only apply to the developer's funds and not to the Industrial areas. According to the trail plan, collector streets receive trails and commercial areas receive sidewalks. EAGAN: Has a trail plan that also includes sidewalks, but thy are in the process of updating and redoing this plan and should be done by July 1, 1994. It is this comprehensive trail plan that determines where sidewalks will be installed. Residential and new developments are not required to have or install sidewalks. Sidewalks and trails are considered part of the transportation department and th city installs them along neighborhood collector streets, county roads, and in the parks and also pays for them. The funds come from the Parks and Rec. ordinance, which includes permit fees and the developer pays into park dedication funds which includes trail dedication funds. Major collector streets and arterials require sidewalks/trails on both sides. It may be added that the majority of sidewalks/trails are bituminous trails. MINNETONKA: Does not have a formal sidewalk policy. One was developed but not adopted by city council. However, a 40 mile loop of trails was adopted. Engineering and Planning departments establish where sidewalks will go as well as citizen petitions and needs. Trails maintenance is in charge of community trails. The funding of sidewalks and trails is not uniform and worked out an agreement on a case by case basis. Sometimes developer pays or dedicates land, other times the city pays for it through park funds. If being put in an existing area, it is through both city park funds and property assessments, but the cost split varies from project to project, but generally the city pays more. Trails are funded though park dedication funds. Requirement of developers to fund these projects hasn't always worked due to the reluctance to adopt a sidewalk policy. Since they don't have a distinct policy the street designation for both a sidewalk and trail on each side of street doesn't exist, however, most of the streets with two sidewalks/trails installed are near schools. APPLE VALLEY: Has a policy but wasn't sure if written down or not, just knew it and gave it to me: * 6' concrete sidewalks in downtown area (commercial area) * 8' bituminous path on major streets (44-52' wide) on both sides of the street (bike/walk path) * 6' concrete sidewalk in housing areas on major street where the houses face the street Developers must put in sidewalks/trails in their developments according to the above standards. In existing areas most have sidewalks due to the old policy that put sidewalks in everywhere, and therefore don't put in any new ones. The city therefore does not pay for the installation of new sidewalks or trails. BURNSVILLE: Has an informal policy (not written). Engineering handles where sidewalks go and Parks and Natural Resources along with engineering decide where trails go. They do not require developers to install and fund sidewalks and trails all of the time. Most sidewalks along major collectors and arterials are funded in part by MSA funds. If a sidewalk is requested by the residents in an area deemed not to need them it is 100% residential property assessments that pays for it. Community trails are funded by park dedication funds and if along major collector/arterial streets they use MSA funding. Along collector streets sidewalk/trail on one side generally. Along arterial streets sidewalkltrail on both sides generally. -~,~~.___...~_~~~.~"-,_...._._.,..,_.~..__".^,"______.~__.__~..-,,,..._,._~_._~_o_,~,"_...."_._.__..___._.,,, ','_._n...' _m'._','"'_,','~__,______~.~.u.~,... --.-"-----.....---.-........ r ~ - ..J o a. ,~ -I ~ w Q - en ~ :) fa a: > w &: ::) en ~ ~ ...

Fairlawn Shores Tr. between 150th St. and Hwy. 13. This is a Low/3 priority funded by MSA. Sidewalk only. 3. Fish Point Rd. (very small section north of 160th St./no rating at this time. This is a MSA funded project. ..--, 4. Main St. north of gas station to 160th St. (This has not been discussed but sidewalk should be on both sides of street). 5. Fish Point Rd. in the south part of Cardinal Ridge. High/3 priority. This will be fInished at time of subdivision and funded with MSA funding. 6. Jordan Ave. south of 160th St. Has a High/2 priority. Felt this shouldn't be part of the plan; it's a residential street. Not part of the MSA street system; cost will be $20,000. Low priority from Parks. 7. Anna Tr. Medium/2 priority with MSA funding. Felt this should be high priority. The Green Items (1998 road construction project) have nothing scheduled at this time. The Dark Purple Items (1999 road construction project) reviewed as follows: 1. Fish Point Rd. north of Hwy. 13 to the Fish Point Park access. This has a High/l priority. At this time, due to the time, Mangan asked the committee to table the Blue Items - future sidewalk link needed (#1-36) and discuss at next months meeting. Necessary to discuss priority of these items as there is no money to cover many of these projects. SAM EMOND MADE A MOTION TO TABLE #4 AND #6 ON THE AGENDA AND CONTINUE DISCUSSION REGARDING THESE TWO ITEMS UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER MEETING. ART SCHOOT SECONDED MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 12, 1994. SAM EMOND MADE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. RON CEMINSKY SECONDED MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
