LAKE LENAPE EAST COMMITTEE MINUTES
MANOR HOUSE AT LAKE LENAPE
APRIL 24, 2008

The meeting was opened and the minutes were approved as mailed.

1. There was question of whether or not the County had reviewed the infrastructure (electric,gas,sewerage,etc.)at the facility. The Facilities Director,Glen Mawby and the County's Open Space Coordinator, Ranae Fehr, said that had all been reviewed prior to the signing of the sale documents.

2. The question was asked as to the Lenape property's relationshipto Mr. Young's property.lt was explained that there were at least three easements that have a long history and existence with respect to Lake Lenape East. There were easements for getting on to Lake Lenape East's property from Mr. Young's land. That easement no longer exists. The second easement involved was Mr. Young's sewer line. His sewerage line connects to the pumping stationon the Lake Lenape East property and that is then jetted out to the street sewerage connection. The third easement that existed is with Young's Skating Rink. Approximately 60 X 124 ft. plot behind the Young's Skating Rink can be utilized when the need for over flow parking for the skating rink is required.

3. The Committee wentto all of the structures on the propertyand reviewed the structures to the Consultant's recommendations.

4. Mr. Mike Diamond, a member of the Committee,handed out an article on Washington Square Park in Chicago. Mr. Diamond is also willing to help establish this type of program at a park of our choice.

5. A set of specifications to do a Master Plan for Lake Lenape East were passed out. There was a discussion about the content and the purpose of the Master Plan. The group agreed that we would get in all our comments by April 30, 2008. This will then allow the County to go to our Purchasing Agent to have it advertised. The RFP will be let and the County will receive proposals for review. In addition,there was a discussion that we would have a committee established to review the RFP's once they are returned. The following individuals agreed to sit with County staff to review those proposals: Ms.Terry Dailey; Mr. Elmer Ripley; Mr. Dean Rocap; Mr. Joe Yeoman; Mr. Joe Haney and Mr.Mike Diamond. The next full Committee meeting will be set up based on when we will be receiving proposals back from the community with respect to the Master Plan.

Having no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
