There was extensive discussion regarding Bob Bielenberg's

time employees.
SKATING RINK - OLD ATHLETIC FIELD
Mr. Blekum reported that after looking at the situation, he has
determined that a skating rink at the Old Athletic Fiel would
not be feasible. There is only a small area where the ri k would
be possible, and that area is not level. It would take a great
deal of work to flood the area. The hydrant is on the corner
across the street, and would take three 50-foot lengths of hose
to reach the area. He reported that only one area resid nt has
made a request for a rink at the field. There is a skating rink
at Triangle Park which is used by many of the residents.
Mr. Blekum informed the Board that the City now maintain seven
outdoor rinks; the Board agreed that action on this ite will be
tabled for the present time.
. NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Blekum read to the Board a City Ordinance stating that all
trees planted on public property (including boulevards, right-of-
ways, etc.) must be approved by the Park Commission. He
suggested that the Board set a policy for future develop ent in
the City. If plans call for planting of trees or shrubs on
public property, the plans should be reviewed and approve by the
Park and Recreation Board,
A motion was made by Alan Liehr that in regard to an future
development in the City, an environmentally safe tree-planting
plan be submitted to the Park and Recreation Board prior to
building; and that Section 24.07 of the City Code be adhe ed to.
Steve Joyce seconded. All in favor.
