Minutes of the Ward County Park

Board February 2, 2021

The Ward County Park Board meet-

ing was called to order by Chairman

Bachmeier at 8:00 AM with Commis-

sioners Rostad, Anderson, Weppler,

Fjeldahl and Pietsch present. Also

present were Highway Engineer

Dana Larsen, Assistant Engineer

Travis Schmit and Assistant Road

Foreman Les Malnaa.

The floor was opened for nomina-

tions for Chairman. Comm. Rostad,

man and Comm. Weppler for Vice

Chairman. With no other nomina-

tions the board casted a unanimous

Chairman.

Moved by Comm. Fjeldahl, second-

Moved by Comm. Fjeldahl, second-

regular park bills totaling $7,998.13.

Motion was withdrawn and tabled

until the May meeting to give the

Board time to receive and review the

list of the bills.

Assistant County Engineer, Travis

Schmit appeared and began the dis-

cussion regarding the listing for the 5

County owned lots located at Rice

Lake for sale with the contracted

County Realtor. Century 21 has

been contracted to list and sell the

foreclosed properties now owned by

Ward County. The contract can be

amended to add the 5 Rice Lake

Lots. Tax Equalization has

reassessed the market value of

these lots. It was determined lake

front property is being assessed at

$4.75/Sq. Ft. and back lots at

$3.00/Sq. Ft. The suggested sale

price of these lots for 2021 was

determined based on $3.00/Sq. Ft.

The sale prices range from

$77,000.00 to $83,000.00.

Moved by Comm. Weppler, second-

ed by Comm. Rostad to approve

recommending an amendment to

the contract with Century 21 to list

the five lots the County has for sale

at Rice Lake with the 2021 suggest-

ed prices. All voted aye; motion car-

ried.

Ward County survey crew took shots

of the swim beach at Rice Lake.

Staff is developing options to help

improve the use of the swim beach

at Rice Lake and make it more ac-

cessible for visitors. Some of the

goals of the redesign include: create

more usable space on the beach;

improve access form parking to

beach front; improve current parking

to better use the space and create

an aesthetic appearance of the swim

beach.

The final item the board needs to

consider is lighting options for Nel-

son Carlson Lake. Lighting options

from Verendrye are either a $3,000

onetime fee for supplying power (in-

stallation of transformer) or to enter

into a 10-year contract and pay a

$200 onetime fee. If the board

chooses to install receptacles at this

location, an electrician would need

to be hired to install any additional

items at County cost. The monthly

service fee is $39.50. Verendrye will

install light poles with an installation

fee of $500 per light pole. Each light

would have a $7.00 monthly charge

for lease of light/pole. If the board

were to utilize the 10-year contracts

an upfront cost of the $200.00 one-

time fee plus the $500.00 per light

pole. If three light poles were in-

stalled the monthly fee would be

$7.00 per pole for a total cost of

$21.00 per month plus the service

fee of $39.50 for a total monthly fee

of $60.50.

Verendrye options for service at

Bostau Lake (a.k.a. South Carlson

Lake) are either a $7,000 onetime

fee for supplying power (installation

of transformer) or to enter into a

10-year contract and pay a $4,000

onetime fee. Again if the Board

chooses to install receptacles at this

location an electrician would need to

be hired to install any additional

items at County cost. The monthly

service fee is $39.50.

Moved by Comm. Pietsch, second-

ed by Comm. Rostad to approve

Comm. Weppler, Comm. Rostad

and Travis Schmit to approach the

County Water Resource Board re-

garding the property they own at

Nelson Carlson Lake and if County

Park Board could acquire the pro-

perty from the Water Resource

Board for recreational use. All voted

aye; motion carried.

Moved by Comm. Weppler, second-

ed by Comm. Pietsch to approve the

Chariman to sign a 10-year contract

with Verendrye for the purpose of in-

stalling three light poles at Nelson

Carlson Lake on Park Board owned

property. Roll call; all voted no, ex-

cept Comm. Weppler who voted

yes; motion failed.

With no other business, Chairman

Bachmeier adjourned the meeting at

8:58 AM.
