Kent Harrell suggested that the Boy Scout Troop will be contacted regarding the ongoing maintenance of the mallard houses. The Commission members all expressed their interest, support, and gratitude for this project. 5.2. Woodland Trails Park Water Impoundment Chair Anderson reported to the Commission that another Boy Scout Troop has shown an interest in doing a water impoundment on the drainage ditch in Woodland Trails Park. It will be the Scout's responsibility to recruit help to calculate the water levels and potential effects on area drainage. The plans will have to be approved by a registered engineer, a neighborhood informational meeting held, and DNR and City Council approval secured before any construction can take place so this Scout would have a great deal of time invested in the process alone. 5.3.

Park Dedication Fees Commissioner Dana Anderson raised the issue of Park Dedication Fees and questioned if the fee schedule should be increased to make the donation of land and the per unit fees more financially comparable so that developers are more open to giving land for park property. After a brief discussion, it was the consensus of the members that while they are comfortable with the system as it is, there should be some research done by staff as to the level of fees in other communities with the possibility of increasing park dedication fees in 1995. Commissioner Lipetzky arrived at this time (7:55 p.m.) 5.5.
