Park Commission Minutes <br /> August 10, 2017 <br /> Page 2 <br /> ------------------------- <br /> Commissioner Sjoblad contacted a Master Gardener who suggested the City <br /> contact Crow Wing County Soil and Water for suggestions. There may be grants <br /> available. One thing to keep in mind is volunteers to maintain the areas and <br /> consistency in the maintenance long term. <br /> Mayor Adams suggested contacting MN/DOT to see what they plant in their <br /> roundabouts. <br /> Chair Ronning explained the bobber made out of a propane tank at Lakes Gas. <br /> The bobber could be placed in the middle of the roundabouts. Commissioner <br /> Pearson had reservations regarding the scale; the size of the roundabout and the <br /> bobber may look silly. <br /> Mayor Adams had contacted Tim Leagjeld for input. He will think about it and <br /> contact her with ideas. <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Commission to pursue a plan with the bobber <br /> tank. <br /> Commissioner Graham noted there is a plateau at the interseetion of County <br /> Road 168 and State Highway 371. tt is an eyesore and may need to be <br /> landscaped. <br /> 6. Skate Park— Update <br /> Mayor Adams explained the location for a temporary skate park would be on the <br /> dead end street in front of the Chair at Bobber Park. The City's insurance agent <br /> confirmed the equipment met city standards. The pavement is rough and may <br /> need an overlay and a barrier may need to be placed along Patriot Avenue. <br /> COMMISSIONER NAGEL MOVED TO SUPPORT THE TEMPORARY SKATE <br /> PARK LOCATION ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF BOBBER PARK. <br /> COMMISSIONER JURCHEN SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED <br /> 7-0. <br /> 7. Banners on County Ftoad 11 BridQe <br /> Commissioner Nagel explained he had learned that decorations would not be <br /> allowed on the bridge and city staff assumed that would include banners. It was <br /> the consensus of the Park Commission that Nancy Malecha should contact Tony <br /> Hughes to verify. <br /> 8. Garden at South End of Trailside Park <br /> Mike Loven noted that the garden at the south end of Trailside Park was not <br /> taken care of again this year; this has been an issue for the past 5 years. <br />
