OLD BUSINESS DEDICATION OF SULLIVAN LAKE PARK Salsbury explained to the Board that the dedication of the park is pro- jected for late June or early July. This is to give the grounds time to 'lshape up~. The Mayor also wants to bring in a political dignitary to join the Park Board and City Council in the dedication. NEW BUSINESS KEYES PARK MODIFICATION Salsbury explained to the Board about the construction that will be happening on top of the hill at Keyes Park with the new street going in. He also told the Board that the drainage problem in the park is going to be taken care of by construction of a retention pond. This will stow down the water flow so the people in the area won't be getting flooded during heavy rainstorms. This will be on the west side of the hockey rink where there is a drain in the corner of the retention area that will take the water out of the problem area. There will be a larger manhole put in, then the entire area will be resodded to remain green. On the side of the pond an embankment will be constructed to withhold the water. Salsbury then asked the Board if they still wanted to construct the parking lot that was proposed for the area approximately two years ago. A couple of points were discussed before arriving at an answer. They were as follows. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK BOARD MEETING MAY 18, 1983 KEYES PARK MODIFICATIONS (CONT.) 1.) The Recreation Department should be contacted and asked if they planned to use Keyes Park hockey rink frequently this year. If not, the parking lot would be a waste to construct. 2.) Murzyn brought up the fact that he seemed to think that when this piece of land was purchased, that it was purchased with a Federal grant under the understanding that only a recreational area could be constructed on it. Therefore, negating the proposed parking lot. Salsbury will check into this matter. Motion made by Melin, seconded by Fowler, that providing the land is "free for use" by choidce of the Park Board that there be a parking lot installed in the proposed area at Keyes Park. All ayes, motion carried. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ITEMS It was decided by the Board that all the "Essential Contractual" items (see attached list) should be budgeted for. Also, the first item of the "Non-Essential Contractual" along with the first item of the "Capital Improvements Program" should be considered along with the essential items for budgeting. The permanent stage for the hall will be left until it is designated whether or not the floor will be redone as suggested. Hollom stated he ~eels that the Board should sit down at the Budget Hearing with the City Council and discuss these items face-to-face. He feels they would be better understood if questions could be answered at the time they were asked. Equipment Replacement for Capital Improvement DeMars ran through a list of materials and/or equipment needed for the parks system. The list includes some miscellaneous purchases that do not necessarily fall into the Capital Improvements category, yet DeMars felt the Board should be aware of them. The list includes items pur- chased annually to keep Park stock current.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK BOARD MEETING MAY 18, 1983 DEPARTMENT REPORT (CONT.) * Salsbury explained that there is no appointed Weed Inspector this year, so the City is looking into contracting out the work. One option the City is 1.ooking at is having someone spray the weeds in the parks. Since no one in the City works system is a licensed pesticide applicator, an outside contractor will be sought. There are approximately 83.4 acres to be shot. (This will include no fertilizer.) So far, the lowest quote is $3,400 and the highest is $7,300. It was suggested that DeMars check into the possibility of someone becoming licensed through the Public Works Department, and that person being paid the extra .05 per hour for performing this duty. * The garage doors on the Jefferson Building were blocked up on Monday.
