CITY PARK IMPROVEMENTS: Ken Krause, Don Shultz, Beth Pankratz, Jon Brady, and Pat Martin were present to present more details concerning the plans and schedule for developing the area around the city lake. A list of “Considerations and Elements” was presented which addressed numerous projects and a tentative time schedule as well as a rough drawing of what the committee would like to achieve.
The main purpose of the presentation was to ask the city’s help in prioritizing the elements based on funding, materials, labor and upkeep over a 3-year period.

It has been determined that an additional $340,000 will be needed to finish the project. After discussion, Bruce Smith moved to adopt Ordinance No. 292 which will authorize the loan amendment. Larry Coursen seconded; motion carried 5-0.
The previously stated purposes of the special meeting being completed, Bruce Smith moved to adjourn the meeting. Larry Coursen seconded; motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 PM.
