Creekridge - Creekridge
Boat Landing - Round Lake Boat Landing
Rum River South and North - River Forest
MOTION: by Sabel, seconded by Kinkade to accept the names of parks as
listed and to have Public Works install signs when time allows.
Chapman's and Woodland Terrace will be carried over and discussed
at another meeting.
Discussion: Chairman Kinkade suggested that whenever a new development
comes in, that the meeting after that plat is finaled would be the
designated time to name that park. This would avoid having to
name parks years later.
NORTHWOODS TENNIS COURT
It was noted that it would cost $4000 to $5000 to repair the tennis
court at Northwood Park. It was also noted that this is not a
budgeted item. It was noted that $3800 was carried over to the
1986 budget which would cover this expense but if chainlink
fence would be installed, this would absorb all the monies.
Kinkade stated that he would discuss this at the next City Council
meeting for more clarification.
SCHEDULES FOR FIELDS
It was decided to have the secretary send letters to all the groups
and associations that have used fields in the past to let them
know when we need their requests and schedules.
MOTION: by McMullen, seconded by Sabel to require requests and schedules
for ballfields and soccer fields by February 1st with a decision to
be made at the second meeting in February. Tournament requests have
to be made by March 1st with a decision to be made by the second
meeting in March. Fields will only be scheduled for games and
the organizations will have to schedule practices on their own.
Motion carried unanimously.
GRANT APPLICATIONS
Sabel stated that she had acquired information for grants. She
stated the different areas where grant monies were available.
It was decided to put this item on the agenda for the second
meeting in February.

GOOD VALUE HIDDEN CREEK DEVELOPMENT
After looking at the Preliminary Plat Hidden Creek Development,
the Commission made the following motion:
MOTION: by Strootman, seconded by McMullen that the Park and
Recreation Commission would like to re-emphasize its current
position on the location and size of the park for Good Value's
HIdden Creek Addition. As currently indicate, the park is
located in the Northwest corner and the Park and Recreation
Commission had considered that area unacceptable and still
does consider it unacceptable for the following reasons:
1. Single family homes surround three sides of
the proposed park.
2. It is not centrally loated.
3. The proposed park is too close to Bunker Lake Blvd.
compounded by the close proximity of Speedy Market.
DISCUSSION
McMullen stated that he was approached by Mrs. Audette regarding
the fact that she was wondering if the Eagle Scouts could volunteer
labor for work in Forest Meadows Park. She stated that if they
were to help with work, it this would help with the projections
for that park. The Commission stated that this would be a
possibility and was an item that should be discussed further
at another meeting.
MOTION: by Strootman, seconded by Sabel to adjourn the meeting
at 9:20 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
