V. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
A. Starrwood - Cardarelle •&'Associates
Refer to Planning Staff Report dated October 23, 1987 and
October 29, 1987 memo from Bob Lambert, Director of Community
Services.
Lambert reviewed the site which is located north of Staring
Lake Park. The major issue is the trails. The developer was
given certain standards to follow and so far they have not
been able to come up with a workable plan. There are three
possible options. They are to widen the outlet which may
require a reconfiguration of several lots; eliminate Lot 10
or eliminate the trail. Lambert said he feels the developer
should be able to build a workable trail.
( Cook asked if there would be a large number of homes in the
area that would be served by this trail. Lambert said that '
a trail located here would save about a 1/2 mile walk to the
park.

VIII. NEW BUSINESS
A. Tax Forfeited Lands
Refer to memo dated October 29, 1987 from Bob Lambert, Director
of Community Services.
Lambert said a list of tax forfeited land is received once a
year. There are three parcels listed which staff recommends
be put on the market for sale to the public, as they are not
appropriate for road or park purposes.
MOTION: Joyer moved to recommend approval of putting the tax
forfeited land up for sale to the public. Cook seconded the
motion and it passed 6-0.
B. Proposal for Fitness Room'Video 'System
Refer to memo dated October 28, 1987 from Bob Lambert, Director
of Community Services.
Lambert said that having a video system will save money over
having an additional person. - Office staff can be trained to
monitor the fitness area. . The money for the equipment would
oome from the funds that would have paid a fitness center
supervisor. These funds are in the 1988 budget.
Cook said he is not familiar with Todd Communication and
hopes that they stand behind their equipment so the fitness
facility would not have to be shut down-because the camera
was not functioning properly.
MOTION: Cook moved to recommend approval of Todd Communication's
Option 2 at a cost of $4,838. Gonyea seconded the motion and
it passed 6-0.
C. Proposal for Storage Cabinets 'at Community Center

that toys and board games for special events are stored in
the cabinets.
Cook asked why wall cabinets are not being considered. Bolinske
said there will be wall cabinets used for storage of a microwave,
refrigerator, etc. For use at meetings, but the room is not that
big and there has to be an allowance made to change the room
from a meeting room to day care use.

of cabinets in Meeting Room B at the Community Center. Joyer
seconded the motion and it passed 6-0.
