Wil Vidal/Mark Wolf - LMLA review of 1989 Lakefest Wil Vidal appeared to discuss the Lakefest results and address any concerns. Jackie indicated there was a problem from the Police Department's stand- point with the time that the bands stopped playing and when people had to be out of the park. The department needs to communicate better with the police in these special "se approvals and also LMLA should keep a copy of the agreement/guidelines at the park during the festival. Another concern was with the boat launch being closed off (someone wanted to go out fishing early in the morning). Mr. Vidal explained that it was closed off in anti- cipation of the Flight for Life helicopter's arrival. No major problems this year. Good festival. John Marson - M.A.A. flag football Dennis Le Master appeared to discuss setting up a flag football league for 4th and 5th graders and would like to "se from mid-August to the end of September the Bay Lane School facility. Requesting two fields be put into place. Pete questioned the lease agreement at the schools that the Department has with the School District as to whether we have the authority to approve or if it should come from the School District. No bathroom facilities would be available at Bay Lane School as the port-a-pots are removed at the end of the M.A.A. softball season. Jackie suggested Kurth Park as an alternative site as there are two soccer fields already laid out that could be adapted for flag football use. Jackie also offered to include in the Recreation book- let a notice on the program for the 1990 season. M.A.A. will get back to Pete with their decision. WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE: There was none received. OLD BUSINESS: Review Icetronauts request for storage space at Parks garage The Public Works Superintendent and the Public Works Committee did not approve the Icetronauts request to store their trailers behind the Parks Minutes, Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, July 24, 1989, page 3 Garage/DPW area. The Parks & Recreation Board approval was contingent upon Public Works approval. Community Fest electrical service revision Jackie reported that John Johnson had indicated that the location of their initial request this spring for additional electrical service needed to be changed. He asked if they could trench from the existing light pole they had installed in 1988 to Pioneer Drive. They originally had planned on coming under Pioneer Drive. Became costly and Wisconsin Electric felt this would be a better way. After discussion with Peter, they gave permission but with the stipulation that the area. be resored to its "lawn area" condition. Richard Manchester moved to approve the request with the condition it be restored to its current condition. Ron Stephens seconded. Motion carried. Update on status of recreational trails (wEPCO/B~~ Breeze) WEPCO-- No dates reported yet as to the start of work on Phases II and III of the WEPCO trail by the Public Works department. Bay Breeze-- Jackie indicated there is no deadline date on record in the sub- divider's agreement with Mr. Ingersoll; therefore, cannot enforce completion of the recreation path. Our time extension permit with Waukesha County was approved and gives us until December 31, 1989 to complete this path. Mr. Ingersoll has been notified of this current deadline date. Parkland Plaza parkland update The Common Council approved expenditures of $1,770 for hiring a consultant to study this area.

Minutes, Parks and Recreation Board Meeting, July 24, 1989, page 4 Women's Softball Tournament review Pete reported next year's tournament must be directed where to park their vehicles. People were parking all over the grass at Bluhm Park. This was not an approved condition for their use of the park; otherwise, there were no problems. Concerns regarding "no motor loading" sign Pete reported police said they saw the sign at Idle Isle Park but need an ordinance to enforce, as there is none on record at this time. Board felt to just leave as is because it still seems to deter people. When there is a problem, will then draft such an ordinance. Update on lake access signage Pete reported that there are 12 signs up at this time. Will be putting the last ones up in the next few days. Mill Valley light usage There have been independent teams that have requested use of the lights at the Mill Valley ball complex. Pete has denied requests for Mill Valley light usage, but thought there should be a policy regarding this usage. This-is time consuming from a staff standpoint in issuing keys, collecting deposits, etc. Board determined that only leagues or tournaments will be allowed to use the lights for their programs. No individual use. Review capital budget process Pete indicated he would present to the capital budget committee only items that are not eligible for funding from the Park Dedication account. A separate budget of anticipated expenditures from Park Dedication will be presented to the Board and Finance Committee.

NEW BUSINESS, OTHER BUSINESS: Vendors in park/recreational areas Jerry Hulbert reported if vendors are to sell items in our parks or recreational areas under our jurisdiction, they must come through the Parks & Recreation Board for permission and pay for a transient license through the City.
