Unanimous voice vote, motion carried. Preregistered Citizens to be heard None Alonzo Park Master Plan Discussion Chairperson Julie Arendt Vanden Heuvel asked to have this on the agenda. If we are hiring a consultant to design a pavilion with a kitchen, should we be looking at the other property? Is there anything that came out of the other plans that we can still use? Administrator Treadwell said that part of the issue would be the parking lot. There are over 6 ½ acres here and an amphitheater is out at this point. Chairperson Arendt Vanden Heuvel gave a suggestion to do a disk golf course, which would be inexpensive. What are things we can put in the wetland? There is an open area and a wooded area. Director of Public Works Steber said that the disk golf cages would still be considered an impact to the wetlands. Suggestions were a dog park, however, blastomycosis is a concern. Potentially a boardwalk could be designed. Trustee Lathrop asked if the entire Black Otter Park was being taken over as a parking lot. Administrator Treadwell said that was a thought but no, not that extensive. Trustee Lathrop asked if the bathrooms and the well-house are all going to be redone. Trustee Arendt Vanden Heuvel asked if the purpose of tonight’s meeting is to get a quote for three different designs. Question was asked if the current pavilion is worth adding anything on to it. The answer was no. There is a donor that is willing to donate a large amount. Discussion on the size of the warming kitchen and looking to the future needs. Trustee Arendt Vanden Heuvel wondered if we could ask if plans could be expandable in the future. What about adding on to the bathrooms? Administrator Treadwell said that we are looking at gutting them and maybe using that as storage. We would need additional parking in the future as well. DPW Director Steber said that we could keep the current bathrooms and do a one stall family bathroom for men and one stall family bathroom for women on the new design. Suggestion to send this back to the board along with a new concept redesign for the pavilion with 2 family bathrooms and adding a warming kitchen. Discussion on Miller Park for an amphitheater and it was suggested it is too small. Any other topics for future discussion Otto Miller Park design is almost done. Discussion should start here at a Public Facilities Committee. Public Works Garage on Oak Street for the next agenda for Public Facilities. Comments and suggestions from citizens present None Adjournment Motion [Bellile/Lathrop] to adjourn. Unanimous voice vote, motion carried. The Committee adjourned at 5:50 p.m. Minutes submitted by, Jane Booth, WCMC Clerk-Treasurer
