The Recreation and Development Committee of the City of Black River Falls met at City Hall on December 19, 2007 at 7:00 P.M.  Alderpersons Danielson, Eddy, Austin, Onstad, and Johnson were present.

1. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Barb Brower reviewed funding sources for a possible hiking/biking path over the Black River in conjunction with the new dam project. The two sources are the State Department of Transportation Enhancement Grant and Safe Route to School program. Both funding opportunities need a municipality to sponsor them. No City tax dollars will be involved with this project. The Committee will further consider this possibility at its January meeting.

2. Parks and Recreation Director Steve Peterson reviewed the current status at Lunda Community Park. After advertising and interviewing, Greg Koehler and Robin Honl were recommended as Head Groundskeeper and Assistant Groundskeeper respectively. The interviewing Committee recommended Greg be paid $11.00 per hour and Robin be paid $10.00 per hour. Both positions will be part-time.                

3. It was moved by Alderperson Austin, seconded by Alderperson Onstad to hire Greg Koehler and Robin Honl as above. Motion carried with Alderpersons Eddy and Johnson voting no.
