Chair Report: Our 2001 budget was granted at half the amount requested. Because of
this, Park Board will concentrate on limited projects, with the campsite at
Millstream being a priority. The Board will have to decide on other priorities.
Noreen and Tom, representing the Cabie Commission, gave input as to why
Park Board meetings should be televised. It was decided that there would be
two televised meetings per year: spring (to preview projects for the year) and
fall (to show budget priorities and request process). Meeting agendas and
minutes will be available via cable.
Old Business: Lonn.ie is looking into county road maps to designate bike trails on the
city-wide trail. At a future meeting we will look at grant funding possibilities
to layout routes and obtain signage.
Bruce reported that he got a bid from Design Electric for the sledding hill
light. A pole, timer, electric photo-eye, etc. will run about $1170. Discussion
was tabled until bids are in for electrical items pertaining to campsite and
rink.

Kyle will contact Corey Ehlert and Jeff Illies regarding St. Wendel township's
financial responsibility for Summer Recreation.

year it will be a men's league. There was discussion on generating monies for
entry fees. The Park Board agreed to pay $SO for umpire certif'ication. (Motion

with hamburgers and brats. The Rec Assoc. will run the concession stand.
