2. REVIEW GRADING PLAN FOR BADGER FIELD
Nielsen went over the updates of the grading plan for Badger Field. He mentioned that the Park
Commission asked at its last meeting if the grading plan could be laid over the proposed Concept Plan 1.5.
WSB could not find that layer, but this plan does show the field and grading plan. Also, the comments
from the last meeting were incorporated into the plans. He stated the trees at the bottom of the creek will
be left and the smaller Ash trees along the existing play field will be removed. The Swale between the
hockey rink and play field is strictly field drainage and will drain to the south by itself. The swale could be
leveled out in Phase III. All the material will be used that is taken out from the field., which is about 2 feet
of fill. The quote for the removal of fill should be reduced from the quote. Nielsen is checking with Public
Works Director Brown to see if Public Works can take down the trees.
Nielsen stated that they did meet with the watershed district to see if there was an opportunity to
partnership with them on this project. This project will not work as there is not enough hardcover created.
When work starts on the parking lot and pond there may be opportunity to partner with the watershed then.
Mangold inquired about the light pole where the Lacrosse practice field will be. Nielsen stated that they
are checking with Lacrosse to see if the light pole needs to be moved. It may be moved a little to the north.
Mangold stated he walked from the existing pole to the tree line and it is 90 feet to the tree lot and he
wasn't sure that would be enough space for a walking path.
Another item that was reviewed was the fire hydrant. Mangold thought it was cut off and not working and
that it would cost a couple thousand dollars to take it out. It was asked if we needed a specialty contractor
to take out the hydrant. Nielsen will check with the Public Works Director on this.
It was asked it Public Works would be taking out the hockey boards.
The lights may have to be contracted out and maybe used at Eddy Station. The goal is to leave the poles in
their current position and re-aim the lights.
