with the Soderville Athletic Association.

Todd Haas said it will be approximately $5,000. He explained
that Hidden Creek, Rose Park, Timber Trails, Strootman Park and
the Hills of Bunker Lake are scheduled to be done this year.
Frank Stone suggested that Rose Park be taken off the schedule
until next year and Lund's be done in its place.
Mr. Chapman stated that the Athletic Association has $1,200 to
$1,500 available.
Motion by Anderson, seconded by Mamlock to switch $2,400 for ag
lime for Rose Park to Lund's North for completion as soon as
possible and that any cost in excess of $2,400 will be paid by
the Andover Athletic Association.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mike King and Jeff Brown, Troop 418 - stated that they are
looking for an Eagle Scout project to do. Mr. King noted that a
baseball field is a possible project and is something he has done
before.

fee on his property and the city wants his house included for
park dedication purposes.
\
)
Mr. Heliker asked if this is done in phases and the house is part
of phase II, will park fees be assessed on the whole plat or only
Phase I. Mr. Haas explained that it would be assessed for park
dedication in phases.
Chairman McMullen noted that he asked the city attorney about the
appraisal that Mel Allen had done on the property and the
attorney said that appraisal could not be used; we would have to
use one of the five appraisers on our list. Mr. Heliker will be
notified when we hire the appraiser.
Ordinance Regarding Crooked Lake
Todd Haas reviewed the ordinance that Maple Grove has regarding
Weaver Lake. The City posted 'No Parking' signs on the streets
to discourage too many people from using the lake at the same
time.
It was noted that there are six or seven parking spaces at the
boat landing and a concern of the residents is that people can
park on the side streets. Commissioner Kieffer didn't feel that
the Park Board should do anything and it was suggested that the
Park Board advise the Crooked Lake Homeowners Association to go
to the City Council. No action was taken on this item.
Chairman McMullen noted that stuart Kinkade has officially
resigned from the Park Board.
