Old Business:
Park Planning Committee Report:
Park Meeting – Jack reported that he attended the Town Council meeting held after they met with us in the park. He reported that the Town liked the idea of the “shelter” being moved to the other side of the park facing the back hill, but that, as before, the “shelter” could not have any sides and they were not sure if they wanted a permanent structure. The Town indicated that they would not be putting any money into the structure. Lance has been assigned to coordinate terracing some areas in the park; he will be working with Michael Short. Lance will also be coordinating the handicapped ramp construction. The Town proposed having the children from the schools design the playground. It was felt that the Town needed to coordinate with other organization to encourage them to hold events in the park.
Tables/Benches – Ralph Roe reported that the Girl Scouts will be delivering two (2) benches by September 15 and that they are still working on some tables. A discussion was held on picnic tables. Dede passed out some information she found on plastic tables kits that could be converted to Trex. It was felt that wood tables could be just fine. It was suggested to check with Zion as they had just purchased wood tables. Dede, Jane, Ellie, and Ralph will look into further.
Park Fundraising: Betty passed around two sign-up sheets for selling tickets, etc., at the Jamborees and the Arts & Crafts show. Betty indicated that we were now selling the CDs for $5 and that we would be giving a free CD to any one who purchased 2 or more tickets. We have very few CDs left and she wanted to get rid of them. Tickets are on sale at Bell’s Gallery and Odd Fellows.
Trails – Jack reported that Cheryl of the Recreation Authority is retiring this year and that we may want to table the trails project until next year. He indicated that Dave Larsen is willing to wait. Also, that will leave an opening on the Recreation Board. Dan Campbell suggested getting Dave and the Recreation Authority together. It was suggested to propose to the Recreation Authority that if they would pick up the liability, we would pay maintenance costs.
TEA-21 – No new info.
Breakfast Talks: The last Breakfast Talk of August had a discussion on trails (see above). A discussion was held regarding new topics for the next Talk to be held on September 1st. Several topics such as education, PSA, and trails were suggested. The “Sidewalks to School” Grant was discussed as a possible concern under education. It was suggested that we may want to invite people without a general topic to see if there was anything they wanted to discuss. A discussion was held regarding whom to invite.
Ice Cream Social: It was decided to table the social for the time being as the Town does not know when they want to do the park dedication.
Windmills: Jack made a short presentation presenting the other side of the windmill controversy. He gave additional information that addressed some of the concerns that were brought up by Kathleen Ingoldsby at the last meeting. He reported that the noise was not an issue, that they are quieter than she indicated, and that the lights are the same as exists on current cell towers.
New Business:
Land’s Sake! 2012: Jack initiated a discussion regarding having a Lands Sake for 2012. It was agreed that we wanted an event for 2012. Possible topics/elements were discussed including: Kid’s Gardening Crafts, a “Help The Planet” music contest, having Jason’s horse teams, having chain saw demonstrations, doing animal husbandry exhibits perhaps with the Cooperative Extention/4-H, allowing vendors to actively sell at their booths, etc. Dates were discussed with Jun 2 or 3, or 9 or 10 as possibilities. The Town Jubilee is usually held the Saturday before Father’s Day (June 17).
Announcements: None.
Meeting was adjourned. Next meeting will be Monday, September 26, 2011, at 6:30 pm at Wall Residences.
Respectfully submitted,
Dede McGrath, Recording Secretary
