MINUTES
A motion was made by Pat Borchert and seconded by Chuck Burmeister to accept the
minutes of September 25, 1989. Motion carried.
BROOKVIEW PARK MASTER PLAN
Rick Jacobson introduced Jeff Schoenbauer of Brauer & Associations, a landscape architect
hired to draw up some preliminary plans for Brookview Park. Two concepts were pre-
sented, one with more active facilities and one more passive. One goal was to provide clear
definition between the park and the golf course. After some discussion, the Commission's
general consensus was to move toward the more passive concept, with a few changes. This
would include extensive plantings, water features, two playground lots, a general skating
area with warming house, a sliding hill, walking paths and trails to eventually link with Lions
Park. Consideration would also be made to moving the Brookview Park road south, which
would allow for safer access onto Winnetka.
SENIOR CITIZEN REPORT
Barbara Bailey presented the annual senior citizens report. The Commission congratulated
Barbara on her receiving the Helen I. Pontius National Award of Merit this past summer for
her work in the leisure services field. The Commission also commended Barbara on her fine
work with the Golden Valley seniors.
CANADA GOOSE UPDATE
Rick Jacobson presented the updated report from Dr. James Cooper of the University of
Minnesota on the goose population control program.
BROOKVIEW IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT
Rick Jacobson reported that Andy Lindquist, Greens Superintendent, had resigned to take a
position at Blake School. The City expects to hire a replacement to begin work in early
February.
Bids were opened on the clubhouse remodelling project. The bids came in over budget, so
the project will be re-evaluated and perhaps redone next year.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by George Murad and seconded by Rich Krahulec to adjourn.
