Malick moved to pay Park bills in the amount of$32,416.79, seconded by Supervisor Luckey and carried. Perch Lake Park Grant reported he had obtained signatures for the contract with Bonestroo by the August 2nd deadline. He is also working on the Perch Lake budget and cost containment. A copy of a letter dated July 31"from Eunice Post and Dale Simon from the Department of Natural Resources was given to the Committee. Post, Simon, Buzz Sorge and John Paddock did a field inspection of Perch Lake for the purpose of determining the ordinary high water mark. After three hours on the site and 3.5 inches of rain, it was determined the OHWM to be at elevation 91.86 (DNR datum) 774.90(USGS datum). However that elevation may be subject to change in 13-15 years. Dave Larson visited the Perch Lake site yesterday and found the public using the town boat landing and swimming/picnicking from Perch Lake Road. He saw nothing out of the ordinary while there. Grant will visit the site after the meeting today to determine if any erosion has taken place after the five inches of rain last evening. Wildwood Trail The bridge at dip # 5 is completed. We don't have the final bill from Lunda. All other bills for that project have been submitted. Grant would like to do some spraying and grading on the last six miles of the trail. Parks has not heard from neighbors on the driveway or activity on the ownership issue after the mowing was completed in July. Planner Ellen Denzer received requests that the County do more advertising for the Wildwood Trail. The Committee felt the advertising should come from private donations. Grant indicated there is a Wildwood Trail Advisory Team who should be able to handle the advertising. 1 Park Managers Report Grant reported a boat landing dock has been added to Glen Hills Park. The cost of the aluminum dock was $3,900.00, which came from a grant from the Sports Alliance. He also added the public is very pleased with the dock. The fuel containment system has been delivered and installed. The cost was $8,582.00. There were some unbudgeted surprises. Grant also presented a revenue chart for Glen Hills with comparisons from last year. The most significant change was the increase in camping revenue, up about $3,600.00. Grant informed the Committee of his vacation schedule and Dave Larson's. Well problems have been detected at Glen Hills Park. The Division of Health tested a well and found bacteria on two tests. Chlorination has now been completed and it tests "safe." The Health Department will take five samples from the picnic area well. Malick suggested that chlorination be done every year as a precautionary measure. The committee agreed. Preliminary Budget Review A rough draft of the 2001 Parks p was Budget resented to the committee. Lengthy discussion on large ticket items,reasons for requesting those items, and review of other Parks requests took place. Grant had Glen Hills, Outlay, Pine Lake, Troy and Perch individually broken down for the committee's review. He also reminded the committee that Park funds are non-lapsing and carry over from year to year. Grant requested a two-wheel drive truck. He stated the truck would significantly change employee vehicle expenses. The number of trucks has not changed in thirty years, even with more parks in the County. The committee suggested Grant have a consistent plan for future vehicle purchases. Malick commended Grant for an excellent first cut review of the budget. Grant noted their computer system is not on line with the County's budget system. In order to do data entry they must drive to the Government Center to produce their budget. He would like that changed for more efficient use of time and resources. On the subject of computer updates, the committee suggested Parks get email for more efficient communication. Luckey questioned Grant on the use of moneys set aside from Park dedication fees. Luckey believes a policy should be set on how those dollars are spent. Denzer stated the statute that allows us collect that money has a purpose, not for day to day operations. Raymond suggested Denzer, Grant and Luckey come up with a policy that details its purpose. Recess at 12:00 for lunch. Resumed at 1:10 with all members present. PLANNING BUSINESS Bills and Invoices Malick moved to approve bills in the amount of $3,652.21 and revenue of $1829.31, seconded by Larson and carried Development Management Plan Implementation Denzer indicated that Planning Director Fodroczi has been making calls to the towns on where and what kind of assistance they would need from the County to develop a town plan. Statistics are not available at this time, as he has not heard 2 from all the towns. He will report the final tally when complete. County Properties A drainage easement request was received from the Professional Building Property. The status of that request is that they must supply the complete plans to Bob Heise at the Land and Water Conservation Department. Casino Impact Assessment Board Chairman Tom Dorsey, Administrative Coordinator Chuck Whiting and Corporation Counsel Greg Timmerman joined the discussion. The comment period deadline is August 30d`. In 1994 the Bureau of Indian Affairs requested our assessment. The area has greatly changed since that assessment. Dorsey encouraged staff and the committee to take as much time as needed to review all materials necessary to come to a fair conclusion, remembering the August 30th deadline. We must update our environmental assessment regardless of what the County Board decides this month. A meeting was scheduled for August 21" at 7:00 p.m. at the Government Center for this purpose. County Resource Agent Jim Janke is to be notified of that meeting. 2001 Budgets Denzer informed the committee that the Register of Deeds was unable to attend the meeting today.
