OLD BUSINESS
JPM SIGN
Sandberg informed the Board that the signs are up and should have power
within one week. She then asked for suggestions as to what should appear
on th~ sig~n and if th~r~ should b~ any restrictions regarding it?
PARK BOARD MEETING MINUTES
NOVEMBER 25, 1987
PAGE TWO
Hol'lom states that the sign should be used for the announcement of
special events (i.e., evening or weekend .gatherings, the Jamboree, 4th
of July Celebration, etc.). The Board does not wish to see the sign
used for announcement of various Recreation Department classes. They
feel usage by the Recreation Department should be limited to the
announcement of class registration/sign-up time' p'eriods.
Motion by Murzyn, seconded by Fowler that the Administrative Assistant
to the Public Works Director will determine the events to be advertised
on the John P. Murzyn Hall sign as per guidelines set forth by the Park
Board. In the event of a special decision, the .Park Board will be
contacted for their opinion. All ayes, motion carried.
EXERCISE PROGRAMS IN JPM
Hollom discussed the various memos recently sent between Gall Maus of
the Recreation Department and BarI~ara Sandberg regarding this issue.
Hollom asked how long this class lasts each day. Sandberg stated that the
class is held on Monday mornings beginning at.9:00 a.m. and ending anywhere
between lO-11 a.m.
Hollom them brought up the point that the Park Board has a policy of not
allowing functions into the 13uilding before 12 Noon, because of the fact
that there is difficulty in having the hall presentable any eariier than
that. He realizes that the Recreation Department has already been given
permission to gain entrance to the hall for this class session prior to
Noon. He suggests that ~he Park Department try their hardest to make the
present schedule, work, 13ut after the end of this session, the Recreation
and Community Education Department abide I~y the rules and regulations set
forth by the Park Board with regard to entrance time to the hall.
-Fie then suggested asking if the class could be started an hour later for
the remainder of the fall schedule. ~Sandberg stated that the janitors could
probably have the hall cleaned by 10. The Recreation Department will be
informed that access to the main hall after a major event is 12 Noon;
otherwise the sl~aff will try to accomplish the cleaning as soon as possible.
The Recreation Department should also be made aware that they will have to
abide by the outcome depending upon the events being held at the hall the
night before class is to be held.
For the next class s.chedule, the Park Board will work with the Recreation
Department and ask them if they can hold the class either one hour later to
see if this eases the burden, or switch the class from Monday mornings to
Tuesday mornings. This would greatly reduce the possibility of a major
function the night before the class. Sandberg will rpopose this to the
Recreation Department and bring a report back to the Board at the December
meet i ng.

RAGE THREE
In conjunction with this issue, the Board entered the dance floor area
of the hall and viewed the damage being done by the exercise classes to
the floor itself. There were a number of cracks and "bowed" areas pointed
out. Sandberg stated that from talking with the floor contractor, this
damage is due to the fact that there is no underlayment beneath the oak
floor. This was an~ tem that they were instructed'by someone not to
install.
Murzyn stated that when he watched the hal. l being redone, he didn't see.
the contractors place anything under the floor before the wood went on.
He also said that when the original floor was laid, there was 8" of
concrete laid first, therefore the new floor shouldn't need any under-~
]aymen t.
No one in the City, from the Building Inspector to the Park Board were
ever informed that the underlayment of the floor had been cut by the
City Council.
Hollom concluded that the problem is, if anythin9 is to be done to the
floor in 1989,.it has to be decided before the Park Department is allowed
to begin taking reservations for the hall for that year. The time period
has to be set so that a certain number of days can be blocked out for the
repairs.
The floor contractor offered a time stretching alternative; they said
they could remove a few rows of boards and blow a Filler under the floor.
Then they would sand and fix the floor surface. According to the floor
contractor, the problems now appearing.with the floor are due to the
fact there is no underlayment beneath the floor.
Sandber9 will find out how long it will take to'institute any of the
options involvin9 the floor She wilt have costs and times involved for
the next Park Board meetin9.
The other solution to eliminate further damage to the wood:floor, is to
install an aerobic-compatible floor in the exercise room. This consists
of two carpet surface areas with springs between them. This is the type
of floor now used in aerobic classrooms at all U.S. Swim & Fitness Clubs.
Sandberg will also get costs and time involved to put in this type of
floor For the next meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
RESTRICT CATERERS AT HALL
This issue was brought up .because of a letter received from a catering
company in the city. This company requests that.only caterers licensed
with the City be allowed to work at the hall.
Hollom inf'ormed the Board that the City Manager had thought there was a
licensing requirement for the hall. Hollom reinforced the issue, stating
that ther¢~ was, and is, no City requirement to license a caterer when
working in the hall.

PAGE FOUR
The City Manager is going to respond ~to the originator of the letter
explaining the fact the the City does not and will not have a code
regarding this.
DISCUSSION/JIM FOWLER, TROPHY CASE & STAGE
Fowler'informed the Board that the Boosters want to put up a trophy~case
in a highly visible area of the hall. Fowler stated that if provisions
were made for this, that the Boosters have opted to discuss the possible
purchase of a stage for the hall to replace the present one.
During their tour Of the hall' when looking at the floor, they entered
the LaBelle Lounge to find an area for the trophy case. Hollom felt that
the south wall of the lounge might be a good place. The Boosters might
also want to look into getting two cases (one for the South and one for
the north wall) for the Loun§e. Salsberg ~will talk to the Boosters to
see what they say.
REPORTS
STAFF
REQUES.T TO OPEN HILLTOP WARMINGHOUSE
A request was made by Colleen Bier, resident of Hilltop Park, to open the
warminghouse.for this skating season. Sandberg listed the work involved to
open the house. The.cost involved, including repairs, rentals of gas and
restroom facilities and manning the building with an attendant comes to
approximately $2,500-$3,000 for the season.
Motion by Fowler, seconded by Starcevic to flood the rink and keep the status
of the park as it has been in the past. The lights should be checked to make
sure they are in proper working order. All ayes, motion' carried.
During this discussion, it was brought up that Sandberg should check into
the storage situation at the Prestemon Park building to make sure that the
equipment will be safe during skating season.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION & RECREATION REPORT
Fowler informed the Board that the Concerned for Youth program is now in
operation. They had a good turnout on their first night of operation and
look to it getting better as time goes by.
There is going to be a problem with the security gate. It was put up
improperly on Youth Night, and access to the upstairs was easy. Sandbe'rg
is going to be at the hall next week to make sure the gate is installed
properly.
