APPROVE TIMBER TRAILS PARK PLAN
The Park and Recreation Commission tabled this item until their July 18, 1991
meeting because the staff was not able to design the park due to time
constraints.
Mr. Starr said he had received an estimate of $100/hour for moving the pine
trees and that four trees could be moved in one hour. This will be done after
plans are finalized, preferably in the fall.
KELSEY jROUND LAKE PARK, continued

recommended a new access for a foot trail at 151st, as County Road 7 is a

concerning the pond. Chairperson Kieffer would like to have a special work
session on Kelsey at the July 18, 1991 Park Board meeting, and requests Mr.
Stone's and Mr. Starr's attendance. The design consultant, Mr. Sanders, would
be invited to the August 1, 1991 meeting to discuss changes/improvements.
Following, the plan for Kelsey/Round Lake Park will be presented to the city
council.
Mr. Starr said he had contacted someone from Slim's to plant corn. The
commission thought that soy beans would be a good crop for the animals, too.
Commissioner Lindahl thought it was a good idea to rotate crops and asked
Mr. Starr to check on prices for planting beans vs. corn.
Chairperson Kieffer asked the commissioners to visit Springbrook and Baker
Parks to get ideas.
APPROVE PARK DEDICATION FUNDS EXPENDITURE
\
, ./ The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to approve Park Dedication
Funds in the amount of $800.00 to be utilized for the completion of Terrace
Park. The Capital Budget allowed for the construction of the parking lot at a
cost of $3,000.00. The total cost to complete the project is $3,800.00.
Mr. Starr reported that the extra topsoil had been moved to Pleasant Oaks Park
and 15 loads of fill brought in.
In discussion, Chairperson Kieffer advised that $800.00 should be withdrawn
from Capital Funds rather than from Park Dedication Funds. The
commissioners would like Mr. Haas to ascertain that this amount is available.
MOTION by DeLarco, seconded by Woods, to withdraw $800.00 from
Capital Funds for Terrace Park. Motion passed unanimously_
MOTION by Lindahl, seconded by Paulson, to have Howard Koolick obtain
for the commission, the quarterly up-date for park funding and
