OLD BUSINESS Status of DandiLion Park park Chairperson Rasmussen presented a letter from City Assessor De Angelis 0 correcting erroneous statements made in the Park Board's proposal for DandiLion Park at the May 12, 1987 Common Council meeting. The letter was placed on file. Legal opinion regarding closing of boat launch on temporary basis Peter reported the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) would have a problem if a substantial impact on the public's navigational rights would occur. The DNR recommended that the City should pursue an ordinance prohibiting motors in sensitive areas of the lake. The Board felt that this issue should be pursued by the Lake District. Relocating boat launch at Idle Isle Park The City would have to get a permit from DNR. Estimated costs would be from $6,000 to $8,000. Jerry Hulbert moved to decline the request to move the boat launch-at the present time. Seconded by Alderman Patterson. Motion carried. Reasons for denial were the cost factor of $6,000 to $8,000 and if moved, we would possibly have more accessibility for bigger boats and possibly more activity. Review receipts on Idle Isle concession building Bob and Jackie will review the receipts as submitted by Keith and Wendy Bennett for work at the concession stand and report back to the Board. Minutes, Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, June 8, 1987, page 3. Review the placement of the Waterbugs pier at Idle Isle Park A letter from Jerry Warda, Little Muskego Lake Waterpatrolman, to Lt. Daley was reviewed regarding his concerns with the current placement of the Waterbug Ski Club's pier. After discussion, John Schaal moved to leave the pier at the present site. Jerry Hulbert seconded. Motion carried. To be reviewed in February for the Waterbug's 1988 use. The reasons for leaving as is for this year are the slow no-wake zones are important and should be left there; could be a problem with kids swimming near and under the pier, the pier has been in this location for years with no problems; the pier is already in place and would be difficult to move and moving the pier could cause problems with the aeration program. Discuss Comprehensive Plan interviews and recommend to Finance Committee approval to expend funds to update Those Board members that were present at the interviews with SEWPRC (Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission) representative Gerald Emmrich and Schreiber/Anderson Associates representative Dave Schreiber reviewed the proposals. It was felt SEWRPC's proposal was more analysis, nuts and bolts; whereas, Schreiber/Anderson is more architectural design (specific projects within a master plan). Jackie reported that Mr. Emmrich had contacted the office to withdraw SEhXPC from consideration of the proposal. He wasn't aware of the fact that the Board would be talking with a private consulting firm. There is a problem with public (SEWRPC) vs. private firms. To avoid any future problems, they formally withdrew. Tentative costs figures were: SEWRPC ($4,500-$5,000); Schreiber/Anderson ($10,000-$15,000). Jerry Hulbert moved to not proceed at this time with either of the two firms because of the overall costs and the budget constraints at this time; we will proceed to do it in-house. Seconded by Alderman Patterson. Motion carried. Correspondence regarding,historical sites Jackie presented the information from the State Historical Preservation Society regarding existing historical landmarks on the Parkland Plaza land. There are no official national register sites and possibly one at the very southern area of the land, but no official site. DEPARTMENT REPORTS Parks Status of soccer goals at Schmidt Park The soccer goals went in after the last Board meeting. A neighbor called and asked about the goals. Pete explained there would be no lights or leagues at this time on the field. A place for the neighborhood kids to play. Minutes, Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, June 8, 1987, page 4. Idle Isle boat launch history update Peter presented a brief history as to Idle Isle Park and the boat launch area. Status of well at Kurth Park A safe reading for the well at Kurth was received May 22, 1987. There seems to be a problem because each year we get an unsafe reading. Footpath problems at Denoon Park Peter stated that there are some water problems on the paths at Denoon and some of the paths are on personal property (eastern side). John Schaal moved to have Peter relocate the paths off of the personal property and try to drain the water better so it doesn't erode the existing path. Seconded by Alderman Patterson. Motion carried. Outlot at Marlan Meadows subdivision Alderman Patterson moved to deny the request .&hat the city clean Rut the outlot at Marlan Meadows, but the residents may do their own clean up. Jerry Hulbert seconded. Motion carried. Recreation Program registration update At this time, registration is going really good. Roughly $13,637.75 has been collected. Summer employees Jackie will mail a list of summer employees to the Board members. NEW BUSINESS, OTHER BUSINESS Evaluate process which plans are received from Plan Commission Once the Park Board receives plats from Plan Commission, it is sometimes too late to make any changes. Jerry Hulbert moved that the Park Board receive preliminary plats earlier so they would have the ability to compare to compre- hensive parks master plan and make any recommendations. Ron Stephens seconded. Motion carried. Park Dedication fees--evaluate on basis of % of value versus straight fee Alderman Patterson moved to leave fee structure as is. Seconded by John Schaal. Motion carried. The Board would like to look at the average price of lots in 1978 as compared to average price of lots in 1987. To be reviewed at next meeting. l Minutes, Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, June 8, 1987, page 5. Circulation of fliers for aeration system in Little Muskego Lake by park attendants John Schaal moved to allow park attendants to pass out fliers on weekends and holidays to people entering the park explaining where the aerators are located; also to allow LMLA (Little Muskego Lake Association) to put up signs by the boat launch about the aeration, but the signs must first be app&ved by' Peter. Seconded by Jerry Hulbert. Motion carried. Peter to check with police department if there is any problem with the verbiage in the fliers. Review of retention ponds at Denoon Park Peter stated that the sediment trap ponds are becoming a problem because the water is not moving; it is becoming very stagnant. Alderman Patterson deferred to the next meeting until Peter has time to check out the possibility of corrective action and whose problem it is. Seconded by John Schaal. Motion carried. ADJOURNMENT John Schaal moved to adjourn the meeting at 10:00 PM. Jerry Hulbert seconded. Motion carried.
