CITY OF PRESCOTT, WISCONSIN FEBRUARY 22, 2016 PARKS AND PUBLIC PROPERTY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the Parks & Public Property Committee was held February 22, 2016 at the Municipal Building, 800 Borner St. Prescott, WI 54021. Call to order/Roll Call: The meeting was called to order at 5:32 p.m. Members present were Jack Hoschette, Joshua and Bill Dravis. Public Works Director Hank Zwart and City Administrator Jayne Brand represented staff. Also present Matt Dugstad and Jon Willink of Prescott Paddle. Matt Dugstad of Prescott Paddle made a request to use public property for the launching of their paddle boards. They have been using the city property at the end of Lake Street and have found this to work well for them. They do occasionally have clients who park on Lake Street and they make sure they only park where parking is allowed. A number of their clients will park at the beach area. Matt also discussed they will be offering lessons through community education and possibly through summer school. Fee was discussed to be the same as last year. Gergen/Dravis motion to recommend approval of the use of public property for Prescott Paddle with same fee as last year and copy of insurance passed without a negative voice vote. Gergen/Dravis motion to approve minutes for November 16, 2015 passed without a negative voice vote. The committee reviewed the request for the placement of three sculptures in the city to be a part of the 2016 River City Sculpture Tour. The request is for the city to carry liability insurance on the sculptures and place the pads for the sculptures. The city insurance company suggested the city make a donation to a non-profit organization for the insurance and for the placement of the pads. The committee discussed they would like to have input in where the sculptures are placed and what the sculptures look like that are going to be placed. Chairman Hoschette stated he would work with the person who is doing the sculpture tour and the non-profit organization. Hoschette/Dravis motion recommend approval to allow the sculptures on public property and to make a donation in the amount of $1,500 from the parks budget to a non-profit organization contingent on the city having input on where they are placed and what the sculpture will be and the funds only being distributed if the tour takes place passed without a negative voice vote. Gergen/Dravis motion to adjourn passed without a negative voice vote. Respectfully Submitted, Jayne M. Brand City Administrator
