PARK BUSINESS:
Raymond summarized the last meeting and objectives of this meeting: to revisit Perch Lake Park costs
and projects. Jensen suggested it was too much money for the County budget and we should scale back.
Malick and Luckey felt more time is needed to get the facility built and design should be done to enable
private fundraising.
Grant summarized visits to the Kinnickinnic State Park,Afton State Park, Carpenter Nature Center and
St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park.He presented a handout with recommendations from a meeting with staff
from the Parks,Planning and Land&Water Conservation Departments and Donna Seim and Mark
Vanasse of the Friends of Perch Lake. The recommendations in the handout identified project activities
and related costs for 2000,2001 and 2002. The construction of the remaining improvements, including
visitor center,permanent toilets, observation tower and stairway trail, could be delayed and contingent
upon outside funding.
Road construction will delay the park opening for a year. Completion of Phase 1-3 activities identified
by staff would allow a park opening in late May 2002.
A motion to authorize implementation of Phase I activities on page two of the handout was made by
Larson, seconded by Malick and carried after Raymond pointed out that necessary funds are in place to
implement the motion.
