APPROVAL OF PARK COMMISSION MINUTES OF MAY 18, 1981
Lindstrom motioned, Carl seconded, approval of the Park Commission minutes of
May 18, 1981 as written. Motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION OF 1982 BUDGET
Upon discussion of the budget for 1982, it was the general consensus of the Park
Commission that they had very little information from which to determine a 1982
budget. Because of a lack of experience, the Park Commission feels that setting
the budget now for fiscal year 1982 of January l to January 1 is on a trial and
error baSlis. It was felt the cost of living increase should be considered an
for the Park Commission to give projected budget figures for 1982 and see how
1981 comes in and go from there.
Schmid motioned, Nygaard seconded, that we increase the Park Commission budget
• for 1982 by 40 per cent over the 1980 budget figure, which subsequently raises
the 1982 budget to approximately $53,000. Motion carried unanimously. 7-0.
The Park Commission feels Manor Park should be completed as soon as possible.
Will request Tad Shaw to research the status of this development. The question
was raised as to why Manor Park has not been finished.
Schmid motioned, Chapman seconded, that the money earmarked for Manor Park be
spent as soon as possible on the completion of Manor Park. Motion carried
unanimously. 7 -0.
In reference to the budgeted expenditure for capital improvements for 1982,
Goettelman motioned, Carl seconded, that discussion of the budget for capital
expenditures be tabled until the request from our (Park Commission) meeting of
May 18, 1981 be met; namely, that the City Planner look into a Land Usage Plan
for Freeman Park, of which Plan will be used for future development and to
solve immediate problems such as the dangerous access to and from the Park,
security lights, etc. Motion carried unanimously. 7-0.

REGULAR PARK COMMISSION MEETING — MINUTES
MONDAY, JUNE 1, 1981
Concerns of policy setting and consistency were discussed. Reactions of the
neighbors? Any complaints? The City of Shorewood's Ordinance No. 91 was
referred to wherein it states that no person shall enter or remain in any
park between the hours of 10:30 P.M. and 6:00 A.M.,' such person is par-
ticipating in an organized activity authorized by the City of Shorewood... and
also unless such person has written permission from the City Administrator.
Lindstrom motioned, Nygaard seconded, that we allow the overnight campers to
camp overnight on the evening of June 13, 1981 prior to the BMX race the
following day. Motion carried with a 7 -1 vote. (Carl abstaining).
- BMX = Freeman Park (Bleachers Satellites)
Gary Carl reported 1 that because of increased attendance at the BMX track
races more satellites are needed at the BMX track, and also (2) has requested
permission for the BMX Association to install bleachers at the BMX track.
Due to the tremendously increased attendance, Goettelman moved, Lindstrom
seconded, that we provide an additional satellite on a monthly basis through
September to the BMX for their use at Freeman Park. Motion carried with a 6 -1
vote (Carl abstaining).
Discussion followed as to where should the line be drawn as to who furnishes
(the City versus the various organizations) needed items such as bleachers,
satellites, rinks, viewing stands, tool sheds, etc.

Fixing of Fence that Belongs to the City Bordering Mr. Walz's property.
It was recommended by the Park Commission that Don Zdrazil be given permission
by the City Administrator to go out and look at the chain -link fence and fix it
where repair is needed. Discussion: Matters that previously were being handled
by the Administrative staff are now being referred to the Park Commission or to
Councilman Shaw.
Goettelman motioned, Lindstrom seconded, for the recommendation that the City
Administrator be given the authority to act on a fairly quick basis on smaller
items without the necessity of it coming before the Park Commission. The
question is how much authority is appropriate? The Park Commission wants to be
aware of the major problems. Motion, carried unanimously. 7 -0.
