5. Park Maintenance.
Park Superintendent, Tom Pawelk submitted a list of the work completed. The parks staff was
busy with snow removal noting that their policy requires they remove snow from the sidewalk
when there is an accumulation of %a inch or mare. He explained they had a number of equipment
breakdowns same of which required major repairs.
A new staff member was added to the Parks Department, Derek Wipper whose work experience
includes carpentry among other skills.
Larry Nolan asked about the snowmobile activity. Tom Pawelk felt that it was going well and he
was not aware of any major incidents. Gene Emanuel felt the snowmobile route was laid out
better than in previous years.
Pazk Commission Minutes: 1/24/08
Tom Pawelk reported that new windows were installed at West Bridge Park. The skating
numbers at the West Bridge Park have been increasing which could be due to the larger rink, the
more conducive skating weather or the fact that the lights at the park make for better visibility for
people using the facility. There was some discussion on whether the skating rink could be
enlarged and if so what it would entail. The heaters went out at some of the parks including
West Bridge Park.
Gene Emanuel asked if anyone from the school had contacted Tom Pawelk about the working on
The sign at Ellison Park. Tom Pawelk has not been in contact with anyone from the school
regarding the matter. Other items discussed included activity at Swan Pazk which has been busy
during the viewing season. At the present time there is not a problem with geese on the banks.
At the paint where it becomes a problem at any of the parks, staff will put up fencing. The
condition of the ISTEA funded pedestrian bridge along CSAH was discussed. There appears to
be some corrosion and damage along the bottom. The state has been made aware of the damage.
Tom Pawelk explained that due to improper electrical work the lights in the area were not
working. Brian Stumpf asked about the damage to the northeast carnet of Hillside Cemetery
fencing that had been knocked down as a result of a car accident. The City did get reimbursed by
the insurance company.
6. Youth Hacker Association A~reernent.
The Parks Commission reviewed a draft of an agreement with the Monticello Youth Hockey
Association relating to the use of the rinks. The last the time the agreement was updated was in
2001. Tom Pawelk stated that since the association is not playing any games at the facilities the
City can't charge there far use of the rinks. However if their activity at the rink results in
abnormal were or if there is damage, the association will be charged for that. Tom Pawelk
reported that before the rinks were even opened for use the association had used the facility and
left a mess which required several hours of clean up. The hockey association has use of the back
storage area and at one time had keys for it. Now the association has to check out a key from
Public Works. The agreement also covers adult supervision when the hockey association is
using the Facility. The hockey association will be considered the agreement at their meeting
which is being held tonight.
RICK TRAVER MOVED TO APPROVE THE AGREEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING WITH
THE MONTICELLO YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION. GENE EMANUEL SECONDED
THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

Ponds. The Parks Commission is planning to have a neighborhood meeting regarding the
development of the Sunset Fonds Park sometime in March.

picking up half of the cost. Gene Emanuel who participated in the program last year stated the
nursery stock was excellent.

is in need of replacement. We feel that it is important to have this pole in good condition so as to honor our veteran
pioneer forefathers in Monticello, as well as for the current and future visitors to this historical cemetery.
Please consider this our formal request of VFW Post #8731 for the donation of a new flagpole to be installed in
Monticello's Hillside Cemetery.
Ifyou have any questions or need to contact me in regard to this donation, please call meat 763-271-3276. Your
