6pm. He stated the MPP began discussing current facilities and capacities at those facilities. The
next MPP meeting will be 5/17 @ 6pm at City Hall to discuss possible future facilitiesllocations.
Athletic Field Advertisement - See attached. Joe Chapman (President of the Prior Lake Legion
Baseball league), Bill Reed, Melissa Reed, Mike Ogdahl (all representatives of Legion baseball)
presented a proposal for offering advertisement on the outfield fences at Memorial Park.
This advertising would cost interested businesses approximately $400 - $800 per 4x8 sign for 1
year or $1500 for a 3 year contract. This advertising will raise funds for Legion baseball. The
signs would be put up and taken down by Legion representatives. This group would make sure
that any advertisement that is displayed would not contain inappropriate language or
reference/represent alcohol or tobacco. The PAC advised the presenters that they should contact
the VFW regarding their proposal and see if they would be on board with the idea first, before
proceeding further. It was also suggested that they contact the High School to make sure there
are no conflicts with school policy, etc. They are to report back to the PAC in May. The PAC
will decide at that time if they want to make a recommendation to the City Council.
2008- 2012 CIP - Al Friedges updated the PAC on the CIP process and numbers. Mike
Feriancek stated in reference to the $75k in the 2008 CIP for a hockey rink that Council
considers providing the PL Hockey Assn some sort of tax benefit with this money. That is, avoid
the process of possibly creating a 3rd outdoor rink at Lakefront Park entirely. Instead consider it
as a benefit toward the building of an Indoor Arena. In lieu of building the hockey rink at
Lakefront, we continue to use the space for other activities. See attached.
Proiect Updates: Al Priedges updated the following projects
· Play structures at Woods in the Wild & Howard Lake - Approval for bids was
received from City Council at the 3/5/07 City Council meeting. The bidding will
open on 5/8/07. 4 or 5 vendors are interested in doing these play structures.
· Ryan Park lighting project - After receiving all the bids for the electrical
engineering, plans and specifications of this project, Collisys was the cheapest at
$562,405. Collisys was awarded the contract for the lighting project. This
company has a very good reputation. The trench lines have been made to start this
project. The total cost for this project will be $600,085 (this includes lighting the
parking lot). This is within the estimate that was presented several months ago.
· Heritage Farm - At the 2/5/07 City Council meeting approval was given to tear
down the house on the Heritage fannstead due to safety reasons. Per the Pollution
Control Agency guidelines there is a 10 day wait in demolition once a permit is
requested. With that in mind the demolition on the house will occur on 4/27.
Some bricks from the house will be saved for future construction at the site.
Motion to adjourn the meeting by Cari Grayson; second by Dick Carlson, approved.
