PRESENT: Richard Arrowood, Clarence Dahlen, Michael Weed, Tom Raimann, Richard Manchester, and Director Steve Pischke ABSENT: Ron Ford The minutes of the January 9, 1978, were.approved as mailed. PERSONAL APPEARANCES Dr. Mangimelle appeared to report on the proposed Dandilion Park Subdivision situation. He stated that the park land is the area to the west of the development, from Hy. 24 to Little Muskego Lake with access from the cul-de-sac, adjacent to the two property owners. Director Pischke would like to have an access from Hy. 24 with a parking lot, picnic area, but no swimming. Dr. Mangimelle expressed his concern with access to the park as shown on Pischke's proposal. l Dahlen moved to reluctantly recommend that the Plan Commission approve the parcel of land on the west end of the proposed Dandilion Park Development which should include an egress-access from Hy 24 (this would eliminate the cul-de-sac adjoining the park area on Plan No. 9). The Board pointed out that they are disappointed with the amount of land contained in the park area. They would like to see more. Seconded by Raimann PASSED At this time, Ms. Jackie St. Mary, the Department's Intern was introduced to the Board. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Fees & Charges Policy There is a conflict of City Hall no charges vs. the Parks and Recreation Department's charges. Dahlen moved to send this to the Board's Rules, Regulations & Ordinance Committee. Seconded by Raimann PASSED Snowmobiling in the Parks A letter was received from the City Attorney regarding sno\nnobiling and other activities in the parks. There is still somewhat of a problem at Lions Park with snowmobilers using the wrong area. l l ' PAGE TGJO - Parks & Recreation Board Minutes - January 23, 1978 .
