NEW BUSINESS
A) Joint Meeting with City Parks and Recreation Board
Hayden, City Parks & Rec Committee Chair, stated they've had a lot of discussion of the

partnering up to explore options.
Discussion of the CIP List, doing a Parks & Fields Plan, making the Woody Way field a multi-
purpose field, different locations, and partnering in projects.
Staff was directed to put the CIP List on the next agenda.
COMMITTEE MEMBER SCHROEDER MOVED that the borough parks and recreation
committee work with the COK PRAB chairman to draft a letter to the city and borough
managers and councils and assemblies requesting their collaboration including holding
meetings if necessary on developing the scope and budget for a proposed joint parks and
fields plan to develop the scope and budget in time for this year's CIP process.

COMMITTEE MEMBER'S COMMENTS
Andy Schroeder said he wants to know what's going on in Otmeloi Park. He also said that
we were going to give notice to the land owner's on Perenosa Drive Right -of -Way (where
the Christian School is) that they have the right -of -way cleared by July 1s' and that's
probably not going to happen. Bob Scholze told him that the landowner's are going to re-
June 14, 2011 Page 2 of 3 Parks & Recreation Minutes
unite or take another try at vacating that right -of -way so we aren't building the trail on
time.
Cassidy stated there was a huge oil spill up by Sawmill Circle where someone lost 500
gallons of oil from their just filled oil tank.
Patrick Saltonstall said Scholze was talking to him about more land sales and he wants to
ensure the committee will have the opportunity to discuss the properties.
Mike Sirofchuck thanked the committee for spending so much time on the plan in his
absence, and Kevin Murphy is no longer the district ranger for State Parks.
Casey Janz asked when the stairway down to Mill Bay Beach is going to be built.
Cassidy said that just the permitting is at $60,000 and it's a complicated project because it's
on the cusp of State right -of -way, borough land, and DNR tidelands.
ADJOURNMENT
COMMITTEE MEMBER BETHEA MOVED to adjourn.
CHAIR SIROFCHUCK adjourned the meeting at 8:15 p.m.
