Motion carried unanimously.
MANOR WARMING HOUSE /PAVILION RFP
Administrator Vogt was present to discuss the RFP. He said that the idea of
using a Landscape Architect had been discussed with Planner Nielsen who said
they cannot be used unless they are also a registered Structural Architect.
He said the RFP he had given them for review had been looked at by both the
City Attorney and the Planner.
He suggested that the Park Commission look at it from an architectural stand-
point and decide what they want for design.
Vogt and Shaw, after speaking to various architects, estimated the cost at
$40,000 to $50,000. This would take into consideration the architectural fees,
engineering and construction costs.
Administrator Vogt suggested that if the Park Commission thinks the price is
too steep, this is the time to drop the issue, rather than putting the Architects
and Commission through a lot of work only to drop the project later.
He asked how they felt about requesting donations. Commissioners Schmid and
Lindstrom didn't feel it was right to solicit donations for one small park in
the area.

MANOR WARMING HOUSE /PAVILION RFP -cont.
• The Commission did not feel that the park is used enough, and by enough people,
to warrent a $40,000 to $50,000 expense.
The Commission discussed other possibilities, such as renting a trailer (this
was dismissed) and checking into prefab structures.
Vogel _moved, Laberee seconded, that the "Request For Proposal" be put on hold
at this time as the number of people using the park does not justify the cost,
meanwhile other possibilities will be investigated. Motion carried unanimously.
FREEMAN PARK
Commissioner Lindstrom told Administrator Vogt that he had been out to Freeman
Park and the road is in, the culverts are in, the road had been graveled, fill
has been placed in the Northeast corner, the field has been mowed and everything
really looks good.
The Park Commission asked staff to write a letter to Public Works Director
Zdrazil and the crew commending them for a job well done and expediently.
INDIVIDUAL PARK GOALS
Administrator Vogt suggested that during the winter the Commission figure out
individual future goals for each park. He mentioned that Planner Nielsen is
presently working on a concept plan that would include the newly purchased
house next door, City Hall, Public Works, Badger Park and Village Pump.
• FREEMAN PARK GATE
The Commission discussed putting a gate across the Eureka Road Entrance and having
the SLMPSD lock and unlock it. They want to encourage use of the park but would
like to prevent having three wheelers and four wheelers tear up the field.
DECEMBER LIAISON
Commissioner Jakel is the December Liaison. Commissioner Laberee offered to be
a sub. The Liaisons for 1987 will be picked in January.
