MINUTES OF SPECIAL TOWN BOARD/PARKS-RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD MEETING HELD
AUGUST 22, 1974 AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
Prior to the opening of the meeting a short informal get-together was held with
John Keprios, University of Minnesota student who has been asked to create a
comprehensive development plan for the forty-acre Community Center site. Because
his original plan did not cover the entire area, he was given dimensions and
directions as to what the plan should contain in its entirety. Mr. Keprios has
stated that he would have another plan finished and to the Boards within two weeks.
The business meeting was called to order at 8:45 p.m. by Richard Schneider,
Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
After review and discussion of the various bids for the hockey rink, Supervisor
Holasek moved that the Board okay the PRAB's recommendation of the low bid from
Sylvester Lumber Company in the amount of $1,554.10 for materials for the hockey ~
rink. Motion seconded by Supervisor Christenson; carried. Phil RZeszutek will
see that the materials are ordered and shipped at times to be designated by him.
Motion was made by Supervisor Christenson that the low bid of $500 for fencing
and installation of same on the hockey rink be accepted from Harold Wilber; seconded
by Supervisor Holasek; carried.

Paint for the hockey rink boards was discussed. Supervisor Christenson moved
that the paint be purchased and that the boards be painted this Fall. No dollar
limit was set on the paint. Motion seconded by Supervisor Holasek; carried.
Phil Rzeszutek will see that the paint is purchased.
PRAB Chairman Jim Griswold had received word that there had been a price increase
on the playground equipment ordered for Shady Knoll. Supervisor Christenson moved
to approve an additional $83 to allow for the increased costs; seconded by
Supervisor Holasek; carried.
Langseth's Pine Acres Park was discussed. The playground equipment has been
installed. The area is served by underground electric service, therefore an
authorization of $52.50 for installation of the security light at that park was
requested. Supervisor Christenson moved to approve the installation of the
security light at a cost of $52.50, a one-time charge, and $4.50 per month
operating costs. Motion seconded by Supervisor Holasek; carried.
Ball diamonds were discussed. It was felt that Burton Kraabel would probably be
asked to level the areas at the Community Center this Fall so they can be seeded
and be ready for play in the Spring. No definite action taken.
The above concluded the business with the Parks/Recreation Advisory Board, but as
the Board of Supervisors had other business to take care of, the meeting continued.

Committee that fencing around the Community Center and around the parking lot is
necessary, as is an underground sprinkler system for the yard at the front, west

install their own sand point, which expenditure has already been approved
by the Board of Supervisors at a July meeting. It was agreed by the Board of
Supervisors that they be allowed to purchase the sand point providing they work
with Griswold to be certain they do not spend more than was allotted at the
July meeting.

of hose for that purpose and report at a later date.
