PERSONAL APPEARANCES: Muskego Historical Society l Mr. Sorenson, representing the Muskego Historical Society, reviewed with the Board options of where the carousel (if they receive) and the steel picnic shelter should be placed. Also would like the Master Plan to reflect the addition ofawalking path from the cabin to the gazebo. The path now would be just the ground by clearing out the underbrush. Board would like Peter to walk the proposed path area with Mr. Sorenson before any clearing takes place.

Harry requested that sufficient notice be given to all baseball/softball groups regarding the charges for maintenance for the 1988 season. Minutes, Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, November 16, 1987, page 2 Alderman Patterson asked Mr. Udvare to consider alternatives to giving up Thursday Mill Valley fields. Mr. Udvare.commented that that would depend on what fields would be given up by the women's league with this change. Demon Sediment Traps Mr. Komassa appeared to express his concern about the discharge of the sediment traps at Demon Park and questionned who is the person responsible for the maintenance of these sediment ponds. Jerry Hulbert moved to defer action at this time to run past City Attorney to see on the jurisdiction of these ponds and also if there is any repercussion to the developer for the original plan. Richard Manchester seconded. Motion carried. Board recommended Peter should meet with Mr. Bertram as to what it would take to get it done. Peter explained for the discharge system to empty properly into the channel, it would take landscaping, riprapping and heavy duty mortar. He had no cost estimates on this. Richard Manchester moved to recommend to the Public Works Committee to fill in sediment traps and seed over. No second. Motion fails. Put on December agenda the attorney's response to the jurisdiction factor and put on January agenda the time for people's comments regarding these sediment traps. Women's Softball Tournament Fees and Policy Ron Ford appeared regarding the tournament fee policy. At the Women's Softball League meeting, they voted to make their tournament as a fund raiser for special Olympics in the future. To maximize donation to this organization, need to have some stability as to costs for each year from the Parks and Recreation Board. Would like Board to decide once and for all, as to what the Board will do (waive fee in lieu of donation, or charge the fee). Mr. Ford reported that the Mayor and Finance Committee said they had no objection to accepting donation instead of fee. Since the fee policy, the women's league would have paid $1,200, but have paid $1,500 under the donation system. The Board could possibly look at a donation as follows: If donation doesn't cover the cost with any projects that the City is not doing, it would not be accepted. If it is a joint project, would consider accepting the donation toward it. The Board will review tournament fees in January. OLD BUSINESS: Steel Picnic Shelter at DandiLion Park The Muskego Historical Society received a cost quote of $3,200 to take down the shelter at DandiLion Park. Parks and Recreation Board would be interested in receiving the shelter if the Historical Society doesn't use it for their purposes. Board would like to get cost figures on the cost of a slab and pavilion (6O'xlZO') for next meeting. Jerry Hulbert moved to have Peter get information on whether the roof can be kept in tact in moving, cost to take it down, concrete footings, cost to put up and the cost of two new ends. Ron Stephens seconded. Motion carried. Minutes, Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, November 16, 1987, page 3 DEPARTMENT REPORTS: PARKS Kurth Well Status Peter reported the well is still a problem.
