The first order of business. was approval of the minutes of the
February 4,1981 Committee meeting.
81-11 It was moved by Lewis, seconded by Storlie to approve the minutes
of the meeting as read.
Motion passed.
Next order of business was the Park Director's Report. At this
time Steve suggested that we listen to Mr. Pat Harvey who. was visiting.
At that time Chairman Cramer opened the floor to Mr. Harvey. Mr.
Harvey was there to discuss a letter that had been sent to him by Park
Director, Steve Michaud, with reference to having a combined Commission/
Committee .meeting to discuss common goals and better communications.
The Committee had a good discussion with Mr. Harvey discussing various
ways to .combine efforts and how the committees could improve themselves
in the service to citizens of Lakeville. Mr. Harvey was going to check
with his Commission to see if an appropriate .date could. be established
to have a combined meeting. As of the writing of these minutes, a com-
biped meeting has been planned for March 18.
Steve went back. to his Park Director's report and discussion of
Park Maintenance projects.. Steve explained that the Valley Lake Beach
project was well under way and that a crane had been hired to toss
beach sand into the lake and also most of the hauling of beach sand had
been completed. Mr. Bud A1ich and Steve are working on the best deal
for the purchase or building of the 200 feet of docking which will be
installed into the beach and other various facilities.. Steve will keep
the Committee informed as to the progress of this project.
Steve reported that the Orchard Lake Beach. project. had been approved
by the state and we are awaiting federal .approval of their portion of
the contribution before we begin this project. Steve suggested that
those areas of renovation not affecting the beach. take place first and
that possibly the final beach work be completed after the season so that
construction would not interfere witfi the beach operations during the
beginning of the summer.
Steve reported that work will continue this summer on Lakeridge
Park and also on Jackson Heights Second Addition. Aldo a priority is
the redesignment of the site plan for Bunker Hi11 Park which has been
planned for a.couple of years.

Steve also brought up the problem of the lagoon on-Lake Marion
which was mentioned to him by residents. Because the lagoon was so
dry the possibility of filling this area in and constructing a new
boat launch down by the .lake might be more feasible, Steve suggested
the Committee take a look at this area and he will be reporting back
on the status of the lake levels and the potential of changing this
area around. At this time Steve would prefer that the area stay like
it is until we .can determine what the lake level will do.
Items four and five were discussion of the Park and Open Space
Plan and the Comprehensive Bike Trail Plan. Steve mentioned to the
Committee that since the last time our plan had been reviewed some
changes had been proposed in the state plan and the county plan and
that those revisions would have to be updated on our plan. After this
discussion, Steve asked the Committee to form a sub-committee to begin
work on the Bike Trail Comprehensive Plan revisions. Under the sub-
. committee Steve Storlie, Jeff Cramer and Sandi Novak volunteered to
assist in the revision of the proposed changes of the plan. A meeting
will be put together before the next committee meeting to discuss some
of the revisions. A tentative date has been set for Monday, March 2,
to have this particular meeting. The meeting will be held at Jeff
Cramer's house. .This will be verified and committee members informed.
Under new business, Steve brought up the idea of reinstating park
assignments to different committees.. Steve will look up the existing
assignments and/or present new assignments to the existing committee
members.
Under old. business, Steve suggested that Kathy Lewis begin talking
with the neighbors with reference to site planning with Jacquard Ave.
Park. As of this writing no news had been received from the attorneys
as to the progress of the negotiations on the purchase of the land.
81-12 After .appropriate motion was made by Lewis, seconded by Storlie,
the meeting was. adjourned.
Motion passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Gerald.. S. .Michaud, Director
