RED OAKS MANOR 5TH ADDITION PARK DEDICATION. CONTINUED
Todd Haas stated that the City Council approved the
preliminary plat on June 7, 1988. The City Council is condemning
Outlots A, B, and C with Outlot C being used as a park dedication
for the 5th and 6th Additions.
MOTION was made by Commissioner Ferris, seconded by

the commissioners voted yes. Motion carried.
INDIAN MEADOWS 3RD ADDITION PARK DEDICATION
The Park Commission is requested to review and recommend the
park dedication for Indian Meadows 3rd Addition.
Wayne Bachman, developer, was present and stated that he
would agree to dedicate 36.07 as park land on the Andover West

ready to develop some trails.

Commissioner Kinkade asked what evidence would he require to
show that the City was ready to develop such trails. Mr. Bachman
stated that if the City drafted an agreement to indicate there
was a budget to initiate the trail system, he would gladly agree
to give the acreage to the City.

Mr. Ferris had a concern that there were already many parks
in this area and did it make sense to continue to take land.
Mr. Kinkade stated it was a different type of park (a nature
park) and that eventually the City had planned a trail system.
Mr. Bachman would agree to prepare a proposal stating he
would deed the property to the City of Andover if the City of
Andover would commit to funding the trail system within the
course of a one-year period of time. Mr. Bachman stated he could
provide a legal description of the property to be deeded.
The Park Commission will put this item on the agenda as soon
as Mr. Bachman is ready with his proposal, giving the City two
weeks notice.
FOREST MEADOW PARK. CONTINUED
It was agreed to table this item until the next regular Park
meeting. Tom Anderson was absent and he was to prepare a letter
to Mr. Magnuson that the Park Board was to review.
PARK COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. CONTINUED
Mr. Ferris talked with the Mayor in regard to the Park
Comprehensive Plan. It was the Mayor's opinion that Westwood
Planning (the company contracted to review the City's
Comprehensive Plan) had done work for the City in the past that
was less than satisfactory, he didn't care for the quality of the
work that was done for the money that was spent.
Also, the Mayor stated that the information
was interested in obtaining was ready available.

making a few phone calls.

Mr. McMullen said that Wes Mann was invited to come to
tonight's meeting to talk further on the Park Comprehensive Plan
but he apparently could not attend. Mr. McMullen also stated
that this item was on the City Council agenda for the next
meeting. It was suggested the Park Board members should attend
the City Council meeting to give Chairman McMullen support on
this issue. It was agreed to ask the questions: What is the
amount of money the Park Board is authorized to spend without
Council approval? What is the Council's feeling on approving the
Park Comprehensive Plan and can they provide some direction for
the Park Board as to how to achieve this goal. It was also
suggested to have a joint meeting between Council/Park Board.
