V. Old Business:
A. Update on Park and Trail Improvement Projects
1. Hunter Drive Trail
a) Jim DiInman reported on the plan for the Hunter Drive trail south of
Hamel Road. Due to cost and drainage issues, the most practical
solution would be to have the trail running on the east side of Hunter
from Hamel Road to Elm Creek Drive, where the trail would cross to the
east side. This crosswalk would be aligned with the proposed location of
future east -west trail linking Hunter Park to Hamel Legion Park, running
across the Holasek property when it is developed. The trail would then
continue on the west side of Hunter from Elm Creek Drive to Medina
Road.
The trail will be constructed as part of the road project. The Trail Study
recommended an off -road trail for Hunter. It may be possible to construct
a curb separately the trail from the roadway.
2. Park Maintenance Improvements
a) Nothing to report.

3. Play Structure at Lakeshore Park
a) The City Council approved purchase of the play structure, and it has
been ordered. Jim Dillman talked to the adjoining neighbor, Brad Sim,
who had written the Commission to voice some concerns. Mr. Sim is
satisfied with the current plan.
4. Buckthorn Removal
a) Mayor Zietlow has suggested that the Boy Scouts take on this
project, but no schedule has been established.
5. Boat Ramp
a) Sunram Construction has submitted a bid for $18,200 for construction
of a new boat ramp consisting of a poured concrete ramp and bolted
concrete planks in the water.
A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously to recommend
that the City Council accept Sunram's bid.

Rodeo donated $5,000 toward the cost of the Donor Wall.
