Park Board Minutes <br />April 11, 2013 <br />Page 2 <br />------------------------- <br /> <br />The Commission also noted that the sign should be green in color with a <br />wood post and not of highly reflective material. The Commissioners <br />suggested placing a bike rack at park entrance. <br /> <br />5. Trailside Park Purchase <br /> <br /> Mayor Adams informed the Commissioners that the DNR has offered to <br />sell the park to the City for $3,547. The Clerk noted that there will be a <br />deed restriction on the property related to the intended recreational trail <br />purposes of the property. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Ettesvold arrived at this time. <br /> <br /> COMMISSIONER NAGEL MOVED TO RECOMMEND THAT THE <br />COUNCIL ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE THE PARK <br />PROPERTY FROM THE DNR. COMMISSIONER GIBBONS SECONDED <br />THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 4-0. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Nagel thanked Mayor Adams for pursuing the purchase of <br />the park. He noted that the City has been trying to gain ownership of the <br />park for many years and has been unsuccessful. <br /> <br />6. Other Business <br /> <br /> The Commissioners requested the Clerk to send the park survey results to <br />those who will be attending the Sibley Lake Park meeting. <br /> <br /> Discussion was held regarding people purchasing the steps for Sibley <br />Lake Park and being allowed to place a memorial on each step that they <br />purchase. <br /> <br /> Mayor Adams stated that someone wanted to donate money for the <br />Trailside park purchase. The Commission suggested that the donation be <br />made to a splash park instead. <br /> <br /> Discussion was held regarding locations for the bike rack at Trailside Park. <br />The Commission stated that an earlier discussion had taken place about <br />possibly locating the bike racks on a patio to eliminate the need to weed <br />whip around each rack. It was suggested to place the racks at both ends <br />of the park. It was the consensus of the Commissioners that Mike Loven <br />works with Karen Ettesvold and Josh Gibbons regarding the locations of <br />the bike racks and the fence at Trailside Park. <br /> <br /> Council Member Tyler Gardner stated that the trees along the Paul <br />Bunyan Trail are out of control and need trimming. He suggested that CLC <br />students could assist and get horticulture credits for the work. <br />
