BLAIR PARK BOARD MINUTES
August 6, 1992
The meeting was called to order at 7:40 p.m. by Bob Leonard, President; with
board members Jim Peterson, George Wilson, Bob Leonard and Bill Trisdale. Ralph
Steyer, Curator, was also in attendance.
It was moved that the minutes of the previous meeting be accepted as printed by
all present.
Treasurer's report accepted and filed.
Under old business, the R. V. Park progress was touched on briefly. Mostly still
in limbo.
The automatic overflow valve has been replaced at the reservoir. This should
solve the wash -out problem on the slope below.
The tree trimming around the city is slowly getting started. There has been some
pruning done, but it is a slow process. Some discussion about extra help for
the park crew, but no action at this time.
The Rotary Club has increased their contribution from $250 to $750 for trail
maintenance.
Steyer touched briefly on a discussion he had with Lloyd Scheve on the need to
better stabilize the viewing trails in Black Elk. Just what that would entail
is vague at this time.
The maps from Warren Whitaker were returned to him by Wilson. They were scaled
at 200 to 1, and are too fuzzy to serve our needs. He is having difficulty
obtaining any 100 to 1 maps. At this time we don't know why.
Signs have arrived for 35 varieties of trees. They need to be prepared for
mounting.
Once again, the subject of the park manager not attending our meetings has been
discussed. Communication with the board is not very good. Some of the things
that need doing are not being done. An invitation for Rod Storm to attend one
of our board meetings is planned, either in September or October to resolve
problems we are having as a Park Board. More on this at a later date.
A luncheon is proposed with the Board and Rod Storm at 4 p.m. Thursday, August
13th at the boat ramp on the river to discuss the future care of same.
The ADA people are coming sometime soon to inspect our park systems.
Steyer reports he has much material in the nursery that needs attention soon.
There being no further business, Peterson moved for adjournment and Wilson
seconded. Meeting adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
Secretary
Bill Trisdale
