There was a brief. discussion on the existing .vacancy f'or the committee.
Steve Storlie suggested Mr. Rick Ringeisen would'be interested in serving and
Steve is to`send an application to him.
Mr. Bob Perzel was .present to give a presentation concerning the access
at Antlers Park: to Lake Marion with regard to safety, launching, sailboating'
watersking, etc. Mr. Perzel basically .proposed there would be a "no ~7ake"
zone channel from the mouth of the lagoon., out to the speed zone of the
• lake. This channel would. be marked by bout's and would be wide enough to
accomodate incoming and outgoing boat traffic. To the south of this channel,
towards the beach area, is being proposed as an area for'mourng boats. The
_rnourngbout'swould be used to anchor the boats. Mr. Perzel sees this as a
viable revenue producing. option. He suggested an area large enough for ten
moorings and said the City could charge up to $125.00 per mooring. Other
suggestions by Mr. Perzel were: o expand the safety zone between the swim
area and the major bout's to keep. the. boats out; allow no mooring of boats
within the lagoon area; to widen the access to the lake at the lagoon area;
to put up a fence on the dead-end road into the lake that would be non-acc-
essable to'motorcycles. Steve explained to the committee .that all of"Mr.
Perzel's ideas were ;good and definitely would assist in providing a more.
safe boating, experience for. park users. Steve-explained to Mr. Perzel and
the committee that he would draw up a program and have it submitted for.
approval to the committee,. the council and then :.onto the Department of Natur-
al Resources..
Next: order of business was the Park Director's report. Steve reported,
that the rinks had been in good.-shape up to this warm weather, and as of
Friday, February 19th, Steve officially closed the rinks. Broomball-league
will be gaxtg indoors .fore the `East game and playoffs next week. If the ice.
can be maintained without jeopardizing equipment and men, it will be done so
that the Lakeville. Athletic Association may continue to skate until it com-
pletely melts.

Steve reported that the ski trails were doing well. He expected
the snow to last until at least. the middle of March.
Next order of. business was a discussion of the comprehensive bicycle.
rail plan. Steve passed around a couple of maps and other materials for
the committee to review.." Steve explained that after meeting with; the county..
and reviewing the existing trail system, he felt that the present trail
system, as designated, was adequate. Because`of a lack of federal and state
funding at.presentp no bicycle trail projects. would be recommended for pr-
orities during. the year of 1982. Steve explained that the county had
adopted a policy with respect to construction of new roads and reconstruc-
ton of older. roads.. The county. would. construct and pay 100 of the cost
of .bicycle trails that 'are designated by the county on county roads or
other major arteries .within the system. Steve will keep the committee
informed as to; the progress of any potential funding that may become avail-
able.
Item six was `a review of Niakwa III plat: Steve explained to the
committee that the previous two parts of the development, Niakwa I and II,
were cash contributions. With its .close proximity..to Valley-Lake Beach,
• Steve recommended that Niakwa III be required to pay a cash contribution,
to satisf,~r the. Park Dedication fee requirements. Steve suggested to the
committee .that .much work still remains at Valley Lake Beach and that a
contribution of this sort would assist in furthering the development.
82-12 It was moved by Cramer., seconded by Carrick, to recommend to City
Council a cash..contribution for Niakwa ITI development.
Motion passed.
