David Nelson called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
Minutes of the April 11, 2007 - MS made the motion that the minutes be approved. DM
seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Park Update:
DN read an email from Scott Ward in regards to the issues for the completion of the park.
DM questioned the necessity of having refuse collection at the park as the State Parks don’t
provide trash cans. Since the trash containers were ordered, this was tabled.
Fencing was discussed next. DN said 300’ of split rail fencing, consisting of 10”, 31 posts, 60
stiles would cost approximately $620 on sale at Menards. Perhaps they would consider donating
toward this project. MS moved that we go with a split rail fence along Hwy F. DM seconded.
Motion passed.
An envelope for the boat launch was checked into by DN. Ray K would provide 1000 at $176 or
2500 at $317. Paper Worxs doesn’t handle envelopes. It was decided by consensus that the
committee would recommend to the Town Board that Ray K be the source for the envelopes and
stickers.
There was discussion about the person responsible for collecting the launch fees and pavilion
reservation fees. Town Clerk, Town Treasurer, Town Board member(s)? Posting of reservation
for the pavilion – would it be done by the Clerk or the person reserving the pavilion? MS moved
that we use a reservation process similar to Amery, where the person reserving would post a
notice for the public. DM seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Winter access of the park was discussed – it was proposed that the restrooms would be locked,
no plowing by the Town and perhaps blocking the single lane road. DM made a motion that the
park be open for the winter, but that the pavilions and restrooms be closed for use. SC seconded.
Motion passed.
There was some general discussion of who should be invited to attend the grand opening on July
21. The committee will recommend Senator Kohl, our local representatives, Scott Hasselet,
DNR . Also, that the event take place at 11:00 AM on Saturday, July 21st. Speeches, thank yous
then eat. Advertising will possibly included TV station(s), newspapers, and the Wapo Lake
newspaper.
DM proposed to contact the Polk County Highway commissioner as to lowering the speed limit
on the curve traveling NW from the park on Hwy F.
The pines removed the last week will hopefully be replaced.
DM made the motion that we recommend 11:00 AM on the 21st (to the Town Board). MS
seconded. Motion passed.
Pay box design was tabled as Scott Ward was unable to attend the meeting.
MS made the motion that 5miles per hour be recommended for traffic in the park. SC seconded.
Motion passed.
SC motioned that the pavilion reservation fees be set at $50 large and $40 smaller. DM
seconded. Motion passed.
Next meeting will be June 13th.
DM motioned that the meeting be close. MS seconded. Motion passed.
