Parks and Recreation Commission Minutes Page 2 <br /> December 13,2023 <br /> 6.2 Camp Cozy Natural Resource Plan <br /> Mr. Hecker presented his report. Commissioner Anderson said that he would like to request in the <br /> future that when the commissioner gets a thick technical document like this plan,it would be <br /> accompanied by a 2-page cliff notes summary version with a map. He would like a summary page with <br /> a map and bullet points. <br /> Mr.Anderson stated that with the dollar amount of the request being exceptionally large,unless there <br /> is successful grant writing he does not see the project happening. Mr. Hecker said that he and Tim <br /> Sevcik are meeting with Alex Roth, the Director of FMR's Land Conservation Program,next <br /> Thursday about this. <br /> Commissioner Brown said that his concern is money. He said that if it is paid for with a grant,it <br /> would be fine and sounds like a good thing to do. He also said that it would be good if we could <br /> move forward and get the buckthorn under control. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek said he totally supports it and would like to thank the Friends of the <br /> Mississippi group for all their hard work. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Anderson and seconded by Commissioner Hollmgren to adopt the <br /> Natural Resources Plan for Camp Cozy Park. Motion carried 7-0. <br /> 6.3 Fields Master Planning Committee Position Change <br /> Chair Williams explained that he no longer has time to be on the committee, so he has asked <br /> Commissioner Loidolt to take his place since he had initially expressed interest.

Stremcha explained that the Beautification/Public Art <br /> committee has money that they have set aside from the Economic Development Authority and are <br /> looking at using it to pursue grant opportunities (with a match) for a public art installation. <br /> They are looking for input from the commission on the type of public art and location that public art <br /> would be desired.
