1. Public Comments: None
2. Minutes: Reviewed minutes of April meeting. Richard moved and Iry
seconded minutes be approved
3. Signage at Riverside Park — Yellowstone Historical Society is offering
their help when we add signs to the park. The current sign was installed in
2009 and is in sad shape as it's made of painted timber. The society paid
$2400 to the cost of the original sign. They have the knowledge and interest
to see that signs are accurate and well designed. Ralph/Marlene Sanders

4. Lease Negotiations:
® Horseshoe Club: Electrical has been repaired ($170) The club still
needs insurance in order to get a lease. Scot will call Nick Kisch to
follow up on the insurance.
e Rod & Gun Club: Scot has presented Rod & Gun Club's proposal to
council. The mayor and city attorney will attend next month to
discuss the details. MMIA hasn't visited the site yet.
5. Swimming Pool:
m Shade — the Billie Riddle money has been used for expenses before and we
don't feel there needs to be a public meeting to spend the interest money.
The City Clerk has the expense in the budget for this year. Kurt will review
the Cantilever Shade with the mayor and present the cost of $3,405.88 plus
installation with Game Time (Amy will follow up with the estimated
installation costs). We really need to get the shade for this season.
• Benches — Scot says the bench company will sell us concrete benches for
$300 each and we can paint the backs where ads were placed. We agreed to
pay four to be used this summer. Kurt will submit this request as this is
already in the budget.
• Pool passes and memberships- Kurt is planning a meeting with Wayne from
the YMCA to talk about how the passes will be paid for at the pool and how
they will be tracked. For daycares and people needing lots of passes we
could print up 10 packs of $3/daily passes. This could be used by adults and
kids. Either Kelly or Bethany will be meeting with Kurt and Wayne
® Recent meeting to ask for public comments on the list of 19 projects
was Wednesday, April 25". Five Laurel citizens attended. The plans
will be submitted to the Governor for signature on May 30th. If he
signs the recommended funding for the Recreation Project Priority
Plan, the state will contract with the individual cities to begin the
projects.
• Phyllis gathered 80 signatures for the. Lions plan for the paved
walking path. Our letter was also received.
7. Arbor Day — May 1, 2018
e Great day with a few adjustments due to the LHS Space Day. Nine
trees were planted at Lions Park. The park looked great thanks to the
City Staff. Our small staff needs professional help when it comes to
getting the holes dug and trees moved.
8. Other — None
Next Meeting — June 7' — Mayor and City Attorney to attend
Meeting Adjourned — 7:35
Respectfully submitted
LuAnne Engh, Board member
