Park’s report • General report – Renly reports everything is shut down. Lake is frozen over and park roads are closed. • Lake Leota Dam repair – Renly reports that work was supposed to be done by 12/15/22. They are still going back and forth with the DNR and has been receiving conflicting information. He is hoping to have construction equipment on site by 01/02/2023. Hoping to get both spillways done this winter vs the spring of 2023. • Ice Rink – Renly reports that ice rink is installed and there’s water in it. Hoping for the lights to be installed tomorrow. Lights will be on a timer. They will turn on at dusk and will turn off after four hours. Kris asked about water sources near Countryside. His Zamboni holds 50 gallons of water. It is difficult for him to bring water back and forth from his house or hook up to the fire hydrant each time which would involve public works being present. Kris asked if he could gain access to the Countryside Park restrooms to store the mini-Zamboni unit. The bathroom has a separate key that Kris would need to have in his possession. Currently DPW and Police Department are the only ones who have keys to the bathrooms right now. Poock says it is a good idea and he is fine with Kris having keys. Lewis and Renly agree. There are now two picnic tables near the ice rink and a porta john is being delivered. Kris says rink is ready to skate on tomorrow (12/21). 8. Pool report • none 9. Old business • Park & pool design update – Poock reports that they have raised nearly $500,000.00 and that it was a good start. 10.
