APPROVAL OF MINUTES
January 21, 1993: Correct as written.
MOTION by Auger, Seconded by Paulson, to approve the Minutes as
presented. Motion carried on a 4-Yes (Anderson, Auger, Lindahl,
Paulson), 2-Present (DeLarco, Woods), I-Absent (Kieffer) vote.
KADLEC CONSTRUCTION COMPANY SKETCH PLAN
Mr. Haas reviewed the sketch plan for a 2.5-acre single-family
residential development in the vicinity of 153rd and Round Lake
Boulevard. The size of the proposed development is about 40 acres. The
Comprehensive Plan does not propose any more parkland in the area
because it is located between the City Hall park complex and Kelsey-
Round Lake park. The Commission agreed to accept cash in lieu of land
for park dedication. It was determined an appraisal will be needed.
Harvey Kadlec, Developer - stated when Kadlec Addition was done, he was
told the monies from that development plus Wobegon Woods would be used
for park improvements in the White Oaks park. That money was lost in
the General Fund. The Commission explained the money went in the park
dedication fund, which is used for a number of improvements.
CJ 1993 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, CONTINUED
Mr. Haas briefly reviewed the 1993 Park and Recreation Capital Outlay
budget and the 1993 Dedication Budget which was approved by the City
Council on February 2, 1993. No further action was taken.

CITY HALL PARK COMPLEX #2
Dave O'Toole and Gary Shay were present. Mr. O'Toole reported they have
received a donation for the face block on the concession stand from
Andover Block, which is worth about $9,000. He also announced a meeting
of the Park Complex Committee which will be held on Thursday, February
11, and invited the Commissioners to attend.
Mr. Shay presented a proposal from a local contractor. The contractor
would donate $25,000 to the project; and the City would agree to allow
him to build a 60 x 120-square-foot building to his specifications at
his cost, lease the building to him for ten years for a nominal amount,
and allow him to operate a private business of batting cages for
softball and baseball. At the end of ten years, the City would have the
option of renewing the lease or taking over the building itself. In any
event, the building, worth about $150,000, would be owned by the City.
If the City decides to take it over, it could be converted to basketball
courts, etc. The contractor is also willing to donate the equivalent
cash to the park project for any donation received for the construction
of the building. This contractor is in the process of constructing a
similar building in another City under these same circumstances. The
contractor wishes to remain anonymous until the City decides it wishes
to proceed with the proposal.

The Commission discussed the proposal. Items to be considered are
whether there is enough space in the complex to place a building of that
size, legal counsel advice on the legality of a private business
operating in a public building on public property, and the reaction of
the City Council. The Commission definitely felt the proposal is worth
pursuing. They asked the Park Complex Committee to provide a sketch
plan of where they think such a building would be located for the next
Commission meeting. They also suggested the Council be informed of the
proposal to get their reaction. Mr. Haas stated he will try to get it
on the February 16, 1993, Council agenda, and he will talk with the City
Attorney.
MOTION by Paulson, Seconded by Woods, to adjourn. Motion carried on a
6-Yes, I-Absent (Kieffer) vote.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
