MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 7, 1994 <br /> (#6) PARK BUDGETING PROCESS - CONT. <br /> Moorse said we need to determine priorities. <br /> White suggested more thought be given to the park budget and also ways in which the park <br /> system can operate more than half a season. <br /> Mayor Callahan said it is not hard to prioritize winter work when a decision needs to be made <br /> whether to plow roads or clear ice rinks. <br /> Chair Flint requested members receive an updated statement of the park fund for the April Park <br /> Commission meeting. <br /> (#5) UPDATE ON OBA <br /> Gerhardson reported the lease has been drafted, submitted to the School and returned with their <br /> corrections. The City Attorney has reviewed the lease and there are only a couple of points that <br /> need to be discussed. A sublease between the City and OBA has been drafted by the City <br /> Attorney and will be delivered soon. A public information meeting will be held on the 16th to <br /> allow for comments. Notice was published in the paper and sent to neighboring property <br /> owners. <br /> Moorse suggested a representative from OBA be present to discuss the project and also a Park <br /> Commission member to introduce and offer a brief explanation and take comments. <br /> Chair Flint inquired about the projected completion date. <br /> Bosma reported that OBA plans to have a survey completed the first of April. At this time they <br /> are negotiating with excavators. To-date OBA has raised $29,675 in cash for the project and <br /> commitments have been received in the amount of$44,461 for a total of$74,136. Bruce Bren <br /> has offered to build the concession stand and Kraus-Anderson will build two dug outs. <br /> Chair Flint asked if the fields will be ready for use this year. <br /> Bosma responded they would like to schedule a post season tournament at the site July 23 and <br /> 24. For this season, the same fields are being used as last year. <br /> Chair Flint inquired if Bederwood will be used the same as in the past. <br /> Bosma responded that Bederwood will have the same usage - Monday through Thursday nights <br /> and some Saturdays. <br /> 8 <br />
