2. Summer Programs and Registration Re�
Park Director Merkel informed the committee that Summer
registration has been going very smoothly with the new computer
� system. Recreation Supervisor, Lorene Marcinek and Departmental
Secretary, Kathy Quick both spoke regarding the new registration
procedure. The majority of users are very happy with the new
procedure and were very impressed with the quick turn around
time. Recreation Supervisor, �orene Marcinek handed out facility
sheets to the committee to keep them aware of where classes are
being held.
3. Tree/Nursery Donation
Director Merkel informed the committee that Mr. Ed Voss contacted
him wondering if the City would be interested in some trees. He
leased some of his property to Klemm's Nursery and after a few
years Klemm�s did not make his lease payments and left the property
with a substantial amount of trees and shrubs. Committee
instructed Director Merkel to look into having some of the trees
moved.
4. Park Plannina
Funds were allocated in the FY 1996-97 budget for park development
plans for the following sites:
`.- Petersen Park - Lakeside Site Plan
North Oak Park - Site Plan
Neumann Park - Site Plan
Pebble Creek Park - Site Plan
Director Merkel informed the committee that local landscape
architects would be contacted regarding submitting qualifications
and costs to prepare these site plans. This information will be
brought back to the committee for review.
A decision was made to remove Neumann Park from the list of park
sites. This park can be considered when the Green Street Downtown
Program is implemented. Plans for this site should be consistent
with the proposed development on the corner of Green Street and
Route 120.

5. Parks and Recreation Directors Reaort
A) Lease of Recreational Space
Director Merkel informed the committee that he was
� approached by the owner of the McHenry Tae Kwan Do
Academy who recentlypurchased the old Gary Lang building
located next to the Roller Rink. She offered to rent the back of
the building to the Parks & Recreation Department. After some
discussion, the committee decided it would not be feasible to
rent this space.
A list of the facilities that programs will be held in the Fall of
1996 was submitted to the committee. A copy of this list is
attached. (Blue)
Additional classes this fall will be held in the Municipal Center
outside of the Recreation staff offices. Staff has informed the
committee of the need to install a wall enclosure and doorway
for the recreation supervisors office. This will provide for a
noise barrier from class activity and allow privacy for any staff
functions.
B) Ballfield Schedule - 1996 Re o�rt
A brief report was made on the scheduling of athletic facilities
by area youth organizations. Some facilities were reassigned
`-- this year as a result of discussions held with league officials and
the Parks and Recreation Committee at their February 1996
meeting.
The unauthorized use of soccer facilities at Whispering Oaks by
adult leagues was discussed. The informal city policy on use of
athletic fields has been that all organization�s must submit a
league schedule, list of league officials, rosters with address,
and certificate of insurance. This information must be
submitted prior to any games scheduled on city facilities. This
policy has also been applied to any leagues scheduling games
on school districtfacilities in the summer months. The city has
the responsibility to coordinate all summer athletic schedules
at school sites according to our cooperative agreement.
The committee suggested that this policy should be presented
to the City Council for formal approval.
The committee was informed that the Whispering Oaks soccer
field will be closed for turf renovation at the conclusion of the
MASF spring season on June 1.
�..
C) Ft. McHenry Washroom Updatp
Director Merkel reported to the committee that the concrete
work for the Ft. McHenry Washroom is held up due to it being
`- their busy season.
D) Twin Cities/Chicago Aids Ride Re or
Director Merkel informed the committee that the Chicago Aids
Ride is going along well. Everything is scheduled and the
Director of the ride has been in contact with him.
