5. REVIEW OF PARR AND RECREATION POLICIES
Dzurak explained the Planning Commission recommendation to the Council
regarding banning snowmobiles in the Transportation section of the
Comprehensive Plan. Jack Hanson said the Planning Commission basically
felt certain laws were unenforceable, that there are too may loopholes,
and this is why they recommended as they did. The Park Commission still
stands behind their recommendation to allow snowmobiling. They will
discuss the issue as a body at a later date.
6. REVIEW TRAIL GRANT APPLICATIONS
Park Planner Koegler explained the ISTEA Trail Grant to the Commission.
He said this particular grant is administrated by the DNR. The grant
would be $49,000, the City's share will be $21,000. He said the
competition is strong and we have to take advantage of the fact that
the southeast area best meets the needed criteria.

7. REVIEW CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEY RESULTS
Administrator Hurm went over the survey results that affected the City
Parks.
8. REPORT OF PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE
McCarty said the Playground Committee met with Park Planner Koegler and
discussed the best values. They hope to get two sites up and active by
snowfall 1993. Park Planner Koegler said there will be two
presentations on June 15, 1993 at City Hall, at 5:OOPM and 6:30PM.
These presentations will be put on by Earl F. Anderson representing
"Landscape Structures ", and Flannigan Sales representating "Iron
Mountain Forge ". The Commission discussed the funding and decided to
leave it as it is, $20,000 for Manor and $20,000 for Freeman North
($10,000 of this being donations) in 1993.
9. REPORT OF BUILDING COMMITTEE
Postponed until July meeting.
10. REPORT ON TREE TRUST
Hurm reviewed the Tree Trust information. They will begin immediately
on the deck at City Hall and the bridge leading to the proposed trail
in Badger Park and complete said trail. They also hope to be able to
fit in grubbing of the family area at Freeman and the Silverwood Park
planting after the plan is completed. They should also be able to work
with us in creating the playground areas and build the border around
the equipment, possibly later in the Fall.
11. REVIEW UPDATE OF MASTER PARK PLANS
Park Planner Koegler presented updated plans. Freeman had several
changes including relocation of the tennis courts due to the water
line, moving the trail west of fields to allow access, changing the
football field to soccer fields, and cutting field #2 back to allow
safer 2 -way traffic. The Commission discussed the parking problem and
the possibility of using the free - skating rink area for parking. They
also discussed handicapped facilities. They asked that a hard service
path for the handicapped be added to the plan. Lindstrom said the Girls
Softball League is interested in moving to Freeman (650 players).
Badger showed the new trail and bridge. The other parks remained pretty
much the same as they did on the last plan.
12. 1993 PROJECT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Bensman moved, McCarty seconded, to recommend to the Council that they
approve the letter of May 20, 1992 from Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.
making them the project managers for listed 1993 park projects. Motion
carried - 7/0.

13. REVIEW PARK FUND BALANCE
It appears as though the income the City hoped to receive from the
Academy Avenue property is not available, the property was tax forfeit
property, therefore if the property is sold the funds go to the County.
The City Attorney will negotiate with them to see if they will consider
sharing the funds with the City.
Mary Bensman will contact Bill Boyer, who volunteered help with manor
Park Playground installation, to see what he is interested in doing.
Koegler said that if the City plans on adding to the playground
equipment at a later date, it is wise to make the original base as
large as the ultimately planned total structure.
Lindstrom said he has had discussion with several of the athletic
associations. He said they do not like portable toilets, and they would
like a building. He said they are beginning to realize that they will
have to help out financially. The Park Commission delegated Hurm and
Lindstrom to work with the associations to see what they can accomplish
in the way of donations.
14. PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN REVIEW
Laberee moved, McCarty seconded, to recommend to Council that they
adopt the latest alternate Park Capital Improvement Plan, moving $2,500
for the Badger Park trail and $2,500 for the Badger Park picnic area,
from 1995 to 1993 in order to allow Tree Trust to receive the supplies
to do the work. Motion carried - 7/0.
15. CATHCART JOINT MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN
Hurm reported on the detail of the proposed agreement. He said the City
of Chanhassen and the City of Shorewood agree not to assess each other
for public improvements. Chanhassen will maintain all greenery. They
also will allow us to use the Chanhassen hydrant for the rink. They
will not assess us a storm water management fee.
Fuller moved, Lindstrom seconded, to recommend to the Council that they
approve the agreement between the City of Chanhassen and the City of
Shorewood in regard to the operation and maintenance of Cathcart Park,
and submit said agreement to the City of Chanhassen. Motion carried -
7/0.
16. PARKING AT CATHCART PARK
The Commission discussed parking at Cathcart Park. They wish the police
to patrol the area and issue warning ticket. McCarty said they park all
over on the grass and it is a definate safety problem because little
children are running all over the place and people just pull

Hurm said the Minnewashta Church wished to see if the City wanted to
contribute to their parking lot, as long as the City uses it. The
Commission said the City has plowed it and put down some gravel, and
will continue to plow it as long as they are using it.
