Park Commission Minutes <br /> August 11, 2016 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Commissioner Adams reported the new signs have been ordered from the DNR. <br /> Mike Loven reported the benches and table have been installed. The bike racks <br /> and the concrete under the table have not been completed. The kiosk will be <br /> built. <br /> 6. Park Commission Vacancy <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Commission that members should be residents, <br /> property owners or business owners. They would also like the City <br /> Administrator/Clerk to run an ad soliciting membership that would include other <br /> commissions. The Park Commission will continue to pursue applicants. <br /> 7. Other Business <br /> Park Bench Donation: <br /> Commissioner Adams and Dawn Bittner reported on conversations regarding <br /> memorial plaques and the donation of park benches as memorials.

Rather than new benches, plaques should be placed on the benches <br /> we already have. <br /> (Commissioner Bryan arrived) <br /> Bobber Park Water Tower: <br /> Chair Ronning asked if the Bobber Water Tower is lit at night; it is the logo for our <br /> town. Mike Loven stated there are 2 lights that shine on the water tower on <br /> timers. Mr. Loven explained the Chamber used to be responsible for the lights, <br /> but it is now a City expense. Chair Ronning stated the tower should be lit up; by <br /> not lighting it we are not showing pride in our community. Mr. Loven stated some <br /> people don't like it lit; clouds throw the light back down. A few years ago a time <br /> limit was set for keeping it lit. Chair Ronning stated the water tower needs to be <br /> a priority and directed Staff to propose the City Council address issues with <br /> lighting the water tower and with maintenance. Mr. Loven stated this will be <br /> discussed with the City Administrator/Clerk. <br /> Commissioner Nagel stated a picture of our water tower is in the new Vikings <br /> stadium. <br /> Skateboard Park Letter: <br /> Chair Ronning explained an email he had received from Cooper Andersen while <br /> Dawn Bittner passed out copies to the other Commissioners. Chair Ronning <br /> stated Mr. Andersen has a relevant point; is anything being included in the <br />
