Shelter House Electrical Panels – The Committee discussed repairs on the electrical panels in the shelter houses at Badger Park and potentially needing to have work done on the rock surrounding the panels. Morrissey suggested hiring a local electrician who has already done work at the park, and would consider this a maintenance item and not something that needs to be included in the renovation project. There was also discussion about how the electric work for the Park project will be completed, where the source will be and whether there will be vault under the field and whether the power source will be at the museum. This will need further discussion with Delta 3 Engineering. Badger Park WiFi – The Committee discussed having WiFi throughout the park, since it is already available at the museum building and swimming pool. Schumacher will contact Comelec to discuss options for expanding it to other areas, specifically for keyless entry access to the shelter houses, roundhouse and dugout storage. Pickleball Equipment – The Committee discussed the possibility of renting out pickleball equipment from the pool bathhouse for the summer. Morrissey offered to buy two sets of equipment to get the process started. Museum Interior Design Process – The Committee briefly discussed the next steps in the museum interior design process. A survey had been sent out and historical information has been discussed with some residents. Schumacher noted that the Wisconsin Historical Society Outreach team is a possible resource who would help with collaboration and recommended a virtual meeting in the near future. Museum Content Restoration – CRDN provided a report of items that had been sent to an art conservator for evaluation and would like input as to whether or not the items should be fully restored or returned to the City after the cleaning process was complete.
