Summer. Pete is aware of the need. Alderman Sanders felt that from a
liability standpoint at least the approaches to the footbridges should be
taken care of. Peter said he would respond this week to that request.
Constituents have also asked about a volleyball net at the sand courts. He
was informed that we had agreed to leave one upinthe past, but someone walked
off with it. Alderman Sanders was informed that nets can be checked out at
the Recreation office. A $10.00 deposit is required.

Mr. Bennett was not present. Jackie updated the Board on the status of turning
the concessions over. Board felt that a police report and references should
be necessary for any future requests of this kind. The City requires all
bartender applicants to go through the police check procedure. This would be
consistent.

the teen outing (ski trip) in January. Richard Manchester moved to decline
the request. Jackie explained the party did not notify the department that
the participant would not be attending and the department had to pay Alpine for
the committed number. Ron Stephens seconded. Motion carried.

Ron Stephens talked to the city attorney. Attdrney Molter feels that we
should ;ake any vandalism cases as they-apply. Feit it would be very hard to
manage. Board will proceed as recommended by the attorney.

Department of Planning had not received a response back from Ingersoll by
our meeting. Should have report by next month's meeting.

of this 15 acres for park purposes. They are not able to set up a meeting
until the end of May. Peter will provide more information at the June
meeting.

Historical Society's expansion program update
Jackie reported the Historical Society called and reported the expense for the
two additions on the existing barn. They are looking at expenses of about
$4,924.44. They intend to use the $1,500 from the Ingersoll fund, they have
$600 set aside from two donations for this purpose and the remaining expenses
will be paid from their savings account (rummages, bake sales, card parties,
etc.). George Henneberry will be the contractor.
DEPARTMENT REPORTS
Status of Local Park Aids/Plans for Denoon Park additions
The Denoon Park project was not accepted for funding. City would have matched
one-half the cost. There are still other funds we could wait for. Jerry
Hulbert suggested that possibly the shelter building could be designed and
constructed by the high school industrial arts class. We would have to pay for
materials and hopefully, the school instructor and students would use it as a
class project. A sub-committee of Pete, Tom, Jerry and Rich, was formed to
go over the building plans. Will meet this summer. Would like to have a
proposal ready for budget time (August).
Park and open space plan (s.E.w.R.P.C.)
Pete reported that Mr. Emmrick from S.E.W.R.P.C. will not be able to meet
until the end of May. a Seasonal wages
Peter just reported to the Board the wages of his seasonal employees as $4.50
per hour. Informed Board a memo was sent to Finance Committee regarding
these wages.
Recreation
Non-resident fee structure
Jerry Hulbert would like to see a sub-committee formed that would evaluate
the existing fee structure and possibly look at feasibility of a non-resident
fee and/or a three-tier fee structure of Muskego resident/Muskego-Norway
(school district) resident/non-resident. Jackie reported that this decision
should not be made lightly as it could have strong repercussions. It was
agreed to begin discussing at future meetings.
Funds for air-conditioner (Horn Park)
Deferred to June agenda.
Dance recital review
Jackie was hoping to give an overall financial review, but have not received
all bills to date. Board would like to send a letter to instructor Mary Kozlik
for a job well done on this year's recital.
