4. Recommendation on Naming Donated Park Land in Parkdale Development

Schrader said that several months ago, the Parkdale Development LLC. donated, to the city, approximately 21 acres of land on Badger Avenue for park purposes. This property is adjacent to the Ice Hawk Arena and Portage County Youth Soccer Complex. A trail system and small shelter could be implemented as a development plan for this area. The name Parkdale Park was suggested and Mr. Bayba was receptive of that name. The Commission has a Naming Policy and this name would fall in that criteria.

Curtis wondered why it would not be named Bayba Park and Schrader said that there are more people involved in the group that donated this land and that could present a problem.
Motion was made by Freckmann, seconded by Okonek, to approve naming the Donated Park land in the Parkdale Development Parkdale Park.

Ayes; all, Nays; none. Motion carried.

Schrader mentioned this article would be published in the paper twice and then goes to the Common Council for approval.

5. Request to Remodel Goerke Pressbox/Concession (St.Pt. Girls Softball Assoc.)

The St.Pt. Girls Softball Assoc. would like to remove the concession area of the current Goerke pressbox/concession stand. They would attach a new structure to the remaining pressbox that is larger, along with the capability of hooking up sewer/water to the new structure. The new structure will give them a larger more updated space to work out of and with the possibility of sewer/water, a way to sell prepared foods. Currently, without sewer/water, they can only sell prepackaged foods.

Schrader said we have budgeted funds to reside the building and that would still apply and they would be responsible for all other costs.

Hall asked what would it take for sewer and water and Don Zalewski, of the Girls Softball Assoc. said they may not have funds for sewer/water this year, however, they would like it to be completed within a year; that they plan on starting at the end of August when their season closes and would be entirely funded by the Girls Softball Association.

Glodosky asked about the contractors and whether they looked into using the Spash builders. Zalewski said they are using John Johnson, Chets Plumbing and a journeyman electrician; they have called Spash but they are never available as they are tied in with Habitat for Humanity. He also said that the plans have been approved by Brent Curless in the Inspection Department.

Sorenson questioned whether it would interfere with football and Schrader said no.
Wiza asked when they would be starting and ending and Zalewski said they would start in August and be done in a month.

Motion was made by Curtis, seconded by Hall to approve the request to remodel Goerke Pressbox/Concession by the St.Pt. Girls Softball Association.

Ayes; all, Nays; none. Motion carried.
