Staff members present were Paul Hokeness, Director of Parks and Recreation, Chris Esser, Recreation Supervisor and Nancy McGill, Parks and Recreation Secretary. The minutes from the Monday, February 9, 1998 meeting were reviewed. KATHY SMITH MADE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1998 MINUTES. THEA FLUHRER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ron asked for the Staff Reports. Playground Equipment. Paul stated that the Mayor has signed the Playground Equipment Contacts. The first shipment is in transit and installation is scheduled prior to June 1st. Ron Ceminsky suggested that we update the public as we install playground equipment at the various park locations. Coverage could be through the Prior Lake American and also the Wavelength. _Lakefront Park Update - Boundary surveys are currently being done. Jeff Schoenbauer will be staking the trails and including that :lfonnation on the survey. The bidding process will begin shortly. Frank Wicker is doing our third appraisal on the Kop property per request from the D.N.R. At this time Paul informed the Committee that Jim Peterson has been appointed to be the liaison to the Parks Advisory Committee. The Council has decided to appoint Council Members to each of the Cities advisory committees. Land Search Update - The Menden Farm (located 1/3 mile off of County Road 82) is also another desirable option and the Menden's have indicated an interest in selling their property. They have 105 acres of land. The next step would be to have an appraisal done. DNR Grant - Steps involved in the DNR Grant application were indicated during the Public Hearing held earlier this evening. We should know what the DNR's decision is by mid-May, 1998. Fishing Dock/Parking at Heritage Park - Paul asked Committee for their opinions on the parking situation (or lack of) at Heritage Park. At present, there is little parking in the area and No Parking signs have been posted throughout the area. Paul has received a few calls from area residents wanting to be able to park close to the fishing dock. Some discussion followed from the committee. The committees consensus was to leave it the way it is. People are still using the fishing pier and are finding areas to park. Disabled persons can park nearby and children can walk or ride their bikes. If we remove any no parking signs at this time, we will be upsetting the neighbors. People can still use Sand Point fishing dock where there is plenty of parking if they choose. TOM SCHUTZ MADE A MOTION TO LEA VE THE NO P ARKlNG AS IT IS. BOB RYKKEN SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Shady Beach Access - The Shady Beach Access is City property and used as a winter access for fish houses. In December, 1997, a -motion was made and approved by the City Council to close the access altogether after the 1998 winter season. The mayor has reopened the issue and was looking for comments from Staff and PAC concerning this access. PAC3jMlili) Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

The date for this is Saturday. April 25. A notice will be in the Prior Lake American. A flyer will be sent to Channel 4 - they profile cities, supply bags and make up posters for this event. Tom Schutz suggested that we put signage at the parks indicating the date so the public is made more aware of this.

This period will cover Fall, 1998, Spring and Fall, 1999.

Chris also updated the Committee on the Broomball and Basketball leagues. Old Business Tom Schutz asked if all the City of Prior Lake Parks and Recreation signs were up at the parks. Paul indicated that they were except - for Memorial Park. Tom said that he thought our new signs looked really nice. Capital Improvement Plan - The Committee reviewed the 1998 Capital Budget. The only change that may occur, according to Paul, would be to include Raspberry Ridge as a location for new playground equipment. It was noted that current bidding practices are currently being reviewed by the State to incorporate a statewide system for all cities. KATHY SMITH MADE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING.
