Frank Stone recommended that the commission not expend over $8,000 in the 1991 park dedication fund. To finish up 1990 projects, there is about $24,000 left in park dedication. At the next meeting, a summary of the expenditures should be available. , ) Howard Koolick, finance director, was invited to this commission meeting to clarify the fianancial situation in the city and the over-all effect on budget planning. Howard conveyed, that once the budget had passed, specific areas of spending could be changed, but council should be informed. Changes to the initial proposal are as follows: Fox Meadows, 1 Large Durascape changed to 1 Small Durascape @ $7,000, cancel 2 Picnic Table Shelters @ $3,000; Terrace Park, cancel Asphalt @ $6,000 and Fence @4,000; Timber \J o Andover Park and Recreation Commission 7 !19/CXJ Meeting Minutes, page 3 '\ , ) Trails improvements would remain the same, but would be the last priority; Strootman Park, consider Deepen Pond @$2,000 and cancel Asphalt @$6,000; Hidden Creek North, cancel Asphalt @$7,000, but hopefully, attend to Enlarging the parking lot (gravel) @ $3,000; City Park Complex, cancel Field lights @$80,000 per field, Tennis court @ $40,000, and Parking lot @ $9,000; Hawkridge, size of Warming house reduced, estimate $10,000; and Prairie Knoll ,cancel Warming house @ $15,000.

Howard stated that $75,000 would be requested; $55,000 would be the target for the capital expenditure budget from city funds. In regard to Terrace Park, the board had recommended a parking lot location behind the backstop and play area, but residents had petitioned to place it near the pump house, to lessen traffic in their area. Residents would be notified of "No Parking" signs when installed in their neighborhood. , ) . Chairperson Kieffer felt that the city should install fencing on properties adjacent to city parks, but was not in a financial situation to do so at this time. A copy of the revised 1991 budget would be available at the next meeting.
