Doreen was not at the meeting, but Dave Mehls reported that the most current figures he has, show that we have $8978.06 in WCU and $15,492.29 in Bremer.  The Football Club will be depositing $1030.00 in our WCU account collected from the $10 park fee to registrations. 

Dave reported that we will be receiving $4800 from the farmer’s lease on the Hatfield land.  We will also be receiving approx. $10,000 from Park Development Fund for new housing.  He is trying to secure 20% of the hotel tax and is still waiting to hear on that. 

E.  Old Business

          1.  Parkland Update

Dave would like to put a fence up between the parking lot and the soccer fields.  It should cost about $5000 for a 6 foot fence.  We may add a net to the top of that later. 

Dave and Mike A. will talk to the St. Croix Homebuilders Association about volunteering some time to help construct buildings, shelters or other items at the new park. There is a possibility that they might be able to help.
