Motion to approve by Malick, second by Raymond, carried. Hunting Policy The', signs are up for hunting in Glen Hills Park. Grant feels that the signs are well posted. A flyer was distributed to about thirty neighbors, the sheriff, DNR and other law enforcement. Flyers were posted at all park entrances. Comments about hunting in the park from some neighbors were not favorable, while others had no issues. Some parties had safety concerns. Malick suggested that neighbors concerned about hunting in the park could form the nucleus for a friends group. FEMA Projects Thelpermit applications for the Troy Park rip rap project were ready to be submitted by November 15 There we learned that according to the Shoreline Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 17, an engineer must approve the plans. Park staff is working with the LWCD and the Zoning Office to get approval from an engineer. This will delay the project somewhat and cause additional expense. Parks Office Locatirns Grant submitted a four -page evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of the four locations being considered for a Park Business Office. The Parks Depai tinent's first choice is Glen Hills with the business office separated from the day -use entrance station, second choice is the Agriculture Center, {third choice is the Government Center with the last choice being Homestead Parklands Visitor Center. Grant suggested using the shop office as a short-term fix during periods of peak visitation. Jensen noted whatever the change, Parks would not be centrally located. Malick expressed concern about a move because the department has a full set of challenges to meet at this point. Consensus was that amove should not be made unless a compelling reason surfaces.
