MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 <br /> (#4) FRIENDS OF THE PARKS AWARD <br /> McMillan proposed a 7:00 p.m. reception be held at the October Park Commission meeting to <br /> present the award to Tamarack Senior Center. Cider, coffee and cookies would be served and <br /> also pictures would be taken. She would proceed with plans and prepare a press release, invite <br /> the Council and contact the Tamarack Senior Center. <br /> It was moved by McMillan, seconded by Wilson to ask the Council to spend $100.00 from the <br /> park dedication fund to be used for purchase of a Friends of the Park Award, the 1993 <br /> presentation to be made to the Tamarack Senior Center. Ayes 6, nays 0. <br /> Howells suggested an award resolution be drafted by the City to be framed and presented that <br /> evening. <br /> Flint suggested that the amount be increased to $125.00 to allow for additional costs in <br /> connection with framing of the resolution. All agreed that this be done. <br /> White suggested some time in the future a petty cash fund be established to cover miscellaneous <br /> costs. <br /> (#7) OLD CRYSTAL BAY SITE <br /> McMillan discussed a meeting held with Councilmember Hurr. Hurr suggested a memo be sent <br /> to Council listing proposals to coordinate the process. McMillan presented members with a draft <br /> memo requesting Council's input regarding funding, starting date and public involvement. She <br /> would like to recruit two residents to a subcommittee for future planning. Randi Carlson, a <br /> local resident, has already met with the committee. Some possible suggestions for land use <br /> would be to combine A and B into one green open space which could be accomplished by <br /> closing Prospect Avenue between South Brown and Arbor Avenue. Parcel C could be sold as <br /> one residential lot. Plans for future parking for the post office should be taken into <br /> consideration at this time. <br /> Chair Flint suggested rewording the memo to ask Council if they would like the Park <br /> Commission to recruit residents to help with the planning process. After much discussion, it <br /> was decided to leave the statement as originally worded. <br /> Howells inquired about the Old Chamber building. <br /> McMillan said at this time nothing has been decided. It might be moved on to the school <br /> property but lead had been discovered in the paint so the building is fenced off. A suggestion <br /> has been made for a tree to be lit during the holiday somewhere in the vicinity. <br /> 7 <br />
