2. Approval of the November 1, 2000 Minutes

Motion was made by Phillips, seconded by McDonald to approve the Minutes of the November 1, 2000 Meeting.

Ayes; all, Nays; none. Motion carried.

3. Extension of Current Outdoor Comprehensive Park Plan

Schrader stated that our current Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan expired December 31, 2000. In order for the city to receive DNR grant funds, we need an adopted Comprehensive Plan.

The city is currently beginning to work on an urban wide "Smart Growth Plan". When complete, this plan will contain a section dealing with the park and recreational needs of not only the city, but the urban area.

Schrader recommended that we have the council pass a resolution extending our current plan one year. This will give us time to see which direction the Smart Growth Committee is moving over the next couple of months. He’s checked with the DNR and a resolution, by the council, asking for an extension is an accepted practice by their department.

Nealis stated that he would not support the extension of the plan because he didn’t agree with the Riverfront Plan, that is part of this plan. That he wouldn’t support the plan until the Riverfront Plan is changed.

Motion was made by Phillips, seconded by Glodosky to approve the extension of the current Outdoor Comprehensive Park Plan for one year.

Ayes; Glodosky, Molski, Aldinger, Phillips, Freckmann, McDonald, West, Somers, Okonek
Nays; Nealis
Motion carried.
