progress with the park in Oak Bluff stating that there is a huge
brush pile there that was left by the developer and there is a
sticker patch also.

completion of the park and he will grade the entire park. The
city will remove the brush pile.
Mr. Benson asked if the park equipment would be installed next
year. Chairman McMullen noted that the equipment was originally
budgeted for next summer but the City Council at their budget
meeting removed it from the budget.
MOTION by Woods, seconded by Keiffer to award the bid for the
tilling of the complete Oak Bluff Park for $450.00 to Burt
Kraable based on the fact that the soccer filed is level.
Discussion: Commissioner Lindahl asked if we could check to see
if we can go back to the original contractor to collect for the
poor workmanship.
Motion carried unanimously.

Commissioner Lindahl suggested that the Park Board take a look at
the area before a decision is made. The area should be staked
out before that time.
Chairman McMullen noted that the city has a policy against
improving the homeowner's property.
No action was taken on this item.

Chairman McMullen reported that he and Frank Stone went through
the budget to see what has been spent to date. There is $475.10
left from what was budgeted for Hidden Creek North; $325.10 left
for Rose Park and $948.84 left from Timber Trails. $2,401.64 was
spent for Strootman Park and nothing was budgeted. The Athletic
Association was supposed to give us about $1,600 but haven't as
yet. Todd Haas will be asked to check into that. AS of January
1, 1989 there was $76,410.00 in park dedications; $58,840.00 was
spent in 1989, leaving a balance of $17,574.00. There is $15,000
left in the capital budget and $10,000 left for Kelsey Park.
Chairman McMullen noted that the proposal for the tennis court
was given to the Commissioners last week and now we have to
figure out where the money will come from. Frank Stone suggested
that the money be taken out of the capital budget.
Mr. McMullen also noted that the contractor has recommended that
the tennis court be done this fall as weeds are starting to grow
through the cracks.
MOTION by Lindahl, seconded by Anderson that the bid for the
tennis court be put forth through the capital budget. Motion
carried unanimously.
At this time the Commission went through the proposed 1990
capital budget with the following being recommended:
City Park Complex - $14,200
Hidden Creek North - $3,700 (park dedication fee)
Creekridge Estates Park - $12,825
Hills of Bunker Lake - $14,200 (Park dedication fee)
