Parks and Public Works Committee

CITY OF PRESCOTT, WISCONSIN JULY 27, 2020 PARKS AND PUBLIC PROPERTY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the Parks and Public Property Committee was held, Monday, July 27, 2020, Municipal Building, 800 Borner Street, Prescott, WI 54021. Call to Order: Alderperson Ruona called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm. Members present were Tom Oss and Rob Daugherty. City Administrator Jayne Brand represented staff. Ruona/Daugherty motion to approve minutes for May 27, 2020 passed without a negative voice vote. The committee reviewed a request from the Historical Society for a grant in the amount of $2,000 to $3,000 for repair of the roof. The consensus of the committee is to make a grant in the amount of $2,000 and would like a commitment to the transfer of the building by August 14, 2020. Leo’s Landing has added some fill on the riverside of the railroad bridge underpass. The fill appears to be either on city lease property or railroad property. The DNR has been notified regarding the fill. The response the DNR received from Leo’s Landing is they have no jurisdiction over the property. The DNR has informed the city they do have authority over the property and the fill and that no permits were acquired to place the fill. It appears there is erosion happening from the fill. City staff has been directed to work with the DNR to determine if the fill needs to be removed. Point St. Croix Marina has place a gazebo below the ordinary high watermark. The gazebo never had any building permit pulled or land use since the area is below the ordinary high watermark. The DNR has been notified regarding this issue. City staff has been directed to work with the DNR in regards to this issue. Alderperson Ruona discussed with the committee that Freedom Park Director Israel Haas has made contacts with a number of the land owners from Magee Park to the High School. They would like to look at establishing bike and walking trails. Israel has also made a request to have a bike repair system like the one behind the Welcome & Heritage Center. Oss/Daugherty motion to adjourn passed without a negative voice vote. Respectfully Submitted, Jayne M. Brand City Administrator
