the old entrance. Staff replied that a fence would be put across the
• area because rocks could cause liability problems.
PARK COMMISSION VACANCY
Park Commissioner Carolyn Squires tendered a letter of resignation,
stating that her job responsibilities do not enable her to give 100%
to the Commission. She did say she would like to reapply at a later
date if her work load eases up.
Commissioner Jakel volunteered to take Squire's place as liaison at
the June 9 Council meeting.
The Commission asked Sue to advertise for a new Commissioner.
EX- COMMISSIONER KOOI — PLAQUE
Chairman Schmid read a letter Administrator Vogt had sent to Kooi show-
ing appreciation for her work. He asked if she is to receive a plaque.
Staff said she understood that she was to receive only a letter, that
from now on plaques will only be awarded after serving a full term or
longer. Commissioner Jurgens said he had been at the Council meeting
and she is supposed to receive a plaque. The Commission asked that the
plaque be ordered.

WCL ACRES - PRELIMINARY PLAT
23645 Yellowstone Trail
Mr. Dick Larson was present to explain that they have approximately
4.84 acres that they wish to divide into 7 lots. When asked, he said
the lots would probably sell for around $25,000 a piece. They will
put in the road, curb and gutter, and sewer. This will be included
in the price of the.lot. They will also create a small ponding area
to hold runoff to prevent additional drainage. He said the road will
fit pretty much into the natural topography.
Commissioner Jurgens expressed concern over the idea that the road
might end up extending through to the Shorewood Shopping Center and
created traffic problems in the area.
Jakel moved, Jurgens seconded, to recommend to Council that a $500
park fee be charged for each of the 6 new lots, totalling $3000. Motion
carried unanimously.
FOOTBALL FIELD
Nothing has been done to the field yet. There appears to have been a
communication problem between Commissioner Jurgens and Public Works
• Director Zdrazil. Staff suggested that Commissioner Jurgens contact
Administrator Vogt if he cannot reach Zdrazil. Commissioner Jurgens
will contact one or the other on Tuesday, June 3rd. He can get pul-
verized dirt from Asplin Excavating, including delivery, for $60 for
10 yards. This will cost $1200.
MANOR WARMING HOUSE /PAVILION
The Commission discussed the size of the building. Chairman Schmid
will contact Pete Studer to get a cost estimate for a 16' x 20' block
building with a 4' x 20' utility storage area on one end and a 25' x
30' slab on the other end for use as a picnic pavilion. They also
mentioned 8' ceilings and a roof that would extend over the slab to be
used for a picnic area, the roof extension to be 20' x 20' with the
slab extending another 5' on three sides.
VOLLEYBALL
Commissioner Jakel reported that an official volleyball court is 30'x
60', with the sand area being approximately 36' x 60' and the sand
depth around 5 ". The net is 3' x 321, 4" square mesh, ##21 size dark,
natural or synthetic cord, with a double thickness sewn along the entire

VOLLEYBALL (cont.)
The Commission discussed putting a court in the Badger free- skating
rink, after thinking it over they decided it might be a good idea to
put the court in Manor Park. Commissioner Jakel will look at both
parks and report back on locations at the next meeting.
TENNIS BACKBOARDS
Commissioner Jakel also reported on what is needed for the tennis back-
boards. He said 4" x 4 "'s, sunk in concrete form the back, then 1" x
12 11 's fastened to the 4" x 4 11's form the backboard.
Jakel moved, Lindstrom seconded, to recommend to Council that a back-
board be put in Badger Park tennis court, cost and labor not to exceed
$600 for 7 15' 4" x 4 111 s, 12 20' 1" x 12 11 's, and labor. Motion carried
unanimously.
"NO GOLFING ALLOWED" SIGNS
The Commission discussed the complaint from the football Association
regarding golfers practicing in the park, and tearing up large divots
all over the fields without replacing them. They also discussed safety,
• if other people are around. They recalled last year's complaint in
Manor when a practicing golfer put a ball through the car window across
the street. They also discussed limiting use to "whiffle balls" but
felt the practicing golfers would not be satisfied with this limitation.

carried unanimously.
