Chair and Vice Chair Appointment Discussion <br />Meyers stated due to the absences of three of the park commissioners from tonight's meeting, he is not <br />sure whether the Park Commission should discuss this item. <br />Edwards stated at the next City Council meeting, the annual appointments will be made and it would be <br />nice to have the chair and vice chair of the Park Commission appointed at the same time.

Lurton Park Transition to Off Leash Park <br />Meyers stated at a meeting with some Staff members, the Mayor and himselr; the Lurton family indicated <br />they are in favor of the dog park. The next step will be to determine the layout of the park. The expenses <br />for the dog park would need to be compiled and then approved by the City Council. Meyers <br />recommended the Park Commission ask the City Council to allocate the money from the park dedication <br />fees since it is a capital improvement. Meyers noted the Lurton family has donated money towards <br />maintenance but that money should not be spent on creating the dog park. <br />Pesek asked what percentage of the total park would be dedicated to the dog park. <br />Meyers stated it would be the entire area, including the woods. '_Meyers stated that would also include the <br />woods. <br />Edwards noted there will be sections of the park that will be protected, such as some of the prairie land. <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />
