DATE: September 7, 2022
RE: September 12, 2022 Meeting
1. Review conceptual design for Menominee Park Beach Bathhouse renovation
Staff has been working with a local architect and the Otter Street Fishing Club on a
conceptual design for the Menominee Park Beach Bathhouse renovation. As
discussed last year by the Advisory Park Board, the intent is to try to retain as much
of the original building with an addition to the south for potential storage of ice
bridges and plow trucks utilized by Otter Street Fishing Club to keep the ice roads
open and available for winter recreation. Additionally, the board favored a building
that would closely resemble the bathhouse when it was originally constructed in the
early 1900’s. Included in your packet is the concept design. The Board will provide
feedback to staff on the design.
2. Update on Menominee Park Pratt Trail road reconstruction
The Common Council approved funding in the 2022 CIP for the reconstruction of
Pratt Trail in Menominee Park. Parks staff has been working with city
DPW/Engineering staff on the design for the project and bids are due September 19,
2022. Due to some major special events that are already scheduled in Menominee
Park this fall/winter, we are planning for a spring 2023 project with an anticipated
completion date of early June.
3. Update on Parks Department full time staffing
Staff will provide the Board with an update on the current status of full time staffing
levels in the department.
