1. Call to order
Dick Frie called the meeting to order. He noted that the water park and
associated recreation needs survey have taken up a considerable amount of
time. The Parks Commission should attempt to diversify its agenda. One area
that needs to he addressed is development of a shade treetreforestauon
program.
2. Discuss community recreation needs survey information.
Assistant Administrator O'Neill reviewed the results of the community
recreation needs survey. He noted that the official report will be presented by
Bill Morris of Decision Resources Ltd.
C After reviewing the preliminary report made by O'Neill, it was the consensus
of the Parks Commission to schedule another meeting of the joint committee
made up of city, township, and school board officials for the purpose of
reviewing the final report. It was also determined that an effort should be
made to provide data to the newspaper immediately prior to the presentation
to be made by Bill Morris. A preliminary schedule was established which
called for publication of recreation survey data in the Monticello Times on
September 23. The presentation to be made by Bill Morris is to be scheduled
for September 29 or September 30. It was determined that the agenda of the
joint meeting should include 1) review of the survey results, 2) discussion,
3) determine the need for future action.
Bruce Thielen noted that the information contained within the report will lay
the groundwork for park planning. He stated that it would make sense at this
time to begin development of a comprehensive plan.
There being no further discussion, the meeting was adjourned.

Assistant Administrator
