. . . Joint City Council/Park & Recreation Commission April 12, 1993 Page 3 Park & Rec Commission Chair, Dave Anderson, reviewed with the City Council the Commission recommendation for use of Park Dedication funds in 1993. Dave indicated that the request is to spend $27,880 in 1993. The City Administrator indicated that the Park Dedication fund balance in January, 1993, exceeded $50,000. Additionally, more than $30,000 in revenue through the platting process is anticipated to be received in 1993. Therefore, expenditures as recommended would not reduce the Park Dedication fund balance. COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ MOVED TO APPROVE THE EXPENDITURE OF THE PARK DEDICATION FUND FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION. FARBER SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION CARRIED 5-0. $27,880 FROM THE COMMUNITY COUNCILMEMBER 13.1. Other Business Councilmember Dietz discussed with the Council and Commission the work load of the Street/Park crew for 1993.

The Council agreed to have Phil Hals come to a future City Council meeting to discuss options, an overall plan, and a recommendation for the landscaping of the City Hall facility and also how this work project will fit in to his overall summer schedule. 7. Update on Woodland Trails Park Grant The Commission discussed with the City Council its recommendation for work and expenses that could be deleted from the original park grant proposal in order for the City contribution to be approximately $50,000. The State will finance $50,000 and the City is obligated to match this amount. The original grant request was for $137,000. The Commission recommended that the picnic shelter and approximately 1/2 of the crushed rock trail be omitted from the work program. The Council had no problems with this approach and with completing a total of approximately $100,000 worth of improvements in the park over the next two years. It was noted by the City Administrator that most of the work is scheduled to take place in 1994, and only preliminary work would take place in 1993. The Commission, Council, and Administrator all agreed that contact must be made with the Golf Course to determine what they desire in terms of expansion of the driving range and obtaining City park property to accomplish this expansion. It was noted that the Golf Course must submit a proposal to the City in order for the City to move forward with its plans and that this information is important as the
